monitor??

cameronp29 · 07-27-2007, 03:44 AM

Ok besides needing a link I was trying to figure out how would my xbox plug into the splitter? Could someone give me a link and possibly tell me how to hook this all up. I plan on ordering all the stuff friday or monday. So I need this info as quick as possible.

thanks

Ive really been searching around and i might have found something. Could I get an Xbox 360 VGA cable and hook my xbox to the vga splitter and also have my computer hooked to the splitter. Then this would allow me to change between my computer and my xbox on the monitor with the press of a button??

Right??

If this is wrong please let me know. I want to order this asap. Also let me know if this is right.

What i think you need is a KVM Switch. Just plug your pc's vga cable and the xbox 360 cable into the switch and then run the vga cable out from the Switch to the monitor. You then just hit a button to what one you want to use.

Now im not 100% sure that is what you need for what you want to do with it so wait until you get more members reply to this post to say if it is the right thing.

i think it is though and thats the cheapest one i could find.

And just hook my xbox and monitor to this. They make a cable for xbox that i already have that hooks straight to this.
