Gearheads of War

Fellas, I am in the process of getting a new PC and establishing my personal domain at the house.  I'm upgrading my study to accommodate both the PC and 360, but am not sure about what monitor to get.  I was thinking of getting a monitor with 2ms refresh and 1920 x 1200 graphics, but I wanted to use the same monitor for both the PC and 360.  Can a monitor be used with the 360 console?  I've always used a television (DLP or CRT) cause that is what I thought consoles normally hook up to, right?  Is there any reason why you wouldn't want to hook your console to a PC monitor?  Is it as easy as selecting which input the monitor displays, or is there another step or hardware required?  Recommendations are welcomed.
