574075 2007-07-30 01:22:00 I have a 360 and a computer and I want both to go into one monitor. I have one VGA port on my monitor. What is the easiest way to do this?

Ive been looking at getting one of these, but have no idea if it'd work or not: www.ascent.co.nz
I figured I can put the male end into my computer, and the 360 + monitor into the two female sockets.

Help appreciated

574076 2007-07-30 01:48:00 Hi there,

I don't believe this will do what you're after....... This looks like it will take the picture from the male end, and split it across two monitor outputs (based on the manufacturer specs : www.equip-info.net).

You're on the right track though - but I think you'll find you only need a stock standard KVM switch, and you'll probably have a few redundant ports. This one for example has a USB port compatibility, so might fit your bill, but you're best to look for something that is specific to your needs (which I can't quite gather from your post at this stage).

574077 2007-07-30 02:12:00 All I need is to have both the 360 and computer run on the same monitor and to be able to switch without having to unplug everytime. (my monitors input ports are VERY sensitive - I actually have a DVI port as well which would make this effortlessly simple but its completely busted.) acheron4778 (12609)
