Sharing monitor with 360 and PC

[markprior22]

Is there some type of adapter available that would allow this? I have a cable for my 360 that plugs into the monitor with the same type of cable a PC would use. So basically it would be like 2 PC's sharing one monitor. If anyone knows of some type of switch or something that is available, I would appreciate it.


Thanks

Perhaps a VGA Switch would do the trick?

Yeah, also called KVM switches. Just make sure the one you buy doesn't require you to plug in the keyboard and mouse switches. Some of the Belkin ones (I think that's the brand) require 2 PC's, and don't play nice with the 360 because there's no keyboard and mouse to plug in. Just something to look for.

I use a KVM switch that I bought from newegg.com for like 25 i think... 2 buttons... button 1 to switch to PC.. button 2 to switch to 360.

There's no AC plug for it since it gets it's power from your PC or 360
