Hello everybody!

I have a [URL=http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/WF05a/20491-314293-314303-314303-314303-12426180.html]HP w19 monitor[/URL] and I have connected it to my Xbox 360 using the [URL=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360vgahdcable/default.htm]Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable[/URL].

I am hoping to connect both my PC and my Xbox 360 to the monitor but my PC on has a VGA plug. The monitor has both VGA and DVI.

How can I connect both to the monitor at the same time?

Thanks. ;)

How about a vga to dvi adapter?

What i'm wondering is, is there a switch that can take 2 vga inputs, and wire them together and act as a switch, so there's no having to remove and replace everytime you want to switch them.

Ok, thanks I will look into the adapter. The only trouble is that the space where all the input plugs are on the monitor is very small and so it is a tight squeese for large plugs. I will just make sure that I get a an adapter that I can plug into the PC and not the monitor then I won't have any space issues.
