Anyone know of a good monitor switch?


What I want to do, is switch a single monitor to a VGA chord for my 360 and the DVI port for my PC. However, I need to be able to toggle between them. Not like a regular KVM switch. Just a switch that will toggle between the two.


Perhaps a good DVI monitor switch that has an output DVI port for the monitor and two input DVI ports for the other devices, then I'll hook a DVI to VGA converter on one of the receiving ports. Anyone know of anything like this? I don't want to toggle it on a keyboard as that won't work. I Need this to toggle on the unit itself most likely.


UNLESS: I wonder if a KVM switch will work? Say, it uses DVI and USB instead of VGA and USB. I wonder if I could use the keyboard for IM on the 360 and still toggle it back and forth? Somehow I simply doubt this though. I suppose it might work. The other problem is that I have a G15 so I may not gain enough power for it to work either.


Any thoughts?

Use the KVM for the display, and just have a seperate KB/Mouse for the PC/Xbox.

A quick Google search turned up this site:

My Samsung syncmaster 204b has a DVI and a VGA in, and you can push a button on the front of the monitor to toggle between them. So I have my main PC on the DVI connection and my server PC on the VGA connection. One push of the button and (using a different KB/Mouse) I can control the server. No KVM switches or any other kind of switch required, any monitor with DVI and VGA in should be able to do it.

my rosewill does the same thing, dual inputs with selectable choice
