monitor??

thanks. thats a sweet looking monitor that just topped my list in style, size and price. keep them coming though i want to make sure i get the right one.\


thanks
 
hey neva sweet monitor. i might like this one better if you could answer this one question. A guy said it switches between his xbox 360 with the push of a button. What does he mean by this?? Does his xbox hook straight up to the monitor or does he mean he has his xbox somehow hooked through his computer? If you can hook it up straight do you use the same plugs??

he probably has both his pc and the Xbox connected through a VGA splitter or something where he can just switch between which input he wants to view on the monitor.

a bit like this bad vid...

could you give me a link to one that would work with the monitor neva put up. thats probably the monitor i will buy and i tried to look for a vga splitter but there are tons and i dont want to get the worng one.


thanks
 
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.
