HI AGAIN.

So anyway, I'm not sure if there's a topic about this previously or whatever but ye.

I wanna connect my Xbox 360 to my PC monitor, so I can play games through the monitor and hear sound from my headphones.
The problem is I can't find a guide on Google with a good description on how to do it

I have one of those VGA cables for my 360 that plugs into the back of the monitor but it's a pain in the ass to keep switching between them so I was hoping there was a device or something that I could use to switch between the 360 and my PC, and as for sound I have no idea what to do.

If anyone can help me then cheers maaaan.

I think you're looking for a KVM switch.

Would that be possible on a Laptop too?

Good man, found it! I knew there was something like this but didn't know the name, cheers. :]

Oh, ugh which one do I want? one's cheaper by a bit...

GET THE CHEAP ONE SO YOU CAN BUY BEER

The second link (27 pounds) isn't a KVM switch: it's a device that allows you to use two monitors with one computer, that is quite opposite

Usually KVM switches differ by:
— presence & amount of USB ports
— type of video input/output, either VGA or DVI (where DVI is better because its digital)
— maximum resolution (if you own some 24" monitor make sure the KVM supports that resolution)
— presence of audio jacks: sound and mic (I suppose you want to switch the sound system as well?)
— presence of the additional cables in the package

So I want neither of those two?

I'll take a look on Amazon etc.

Is this one kanker or awesome enough? Sorry I couldn't edit my previous post

Depends on what you need exactly. It looks like it doesn't switch the audio. Do you need this option? Do you need a USB switch (for external hard drives or usb sticks etc)?

I don't need the USB switch, no. As for the audio yeah I think so, I just want a box I can plug both my monitor and 360 cable into, as well as my speakers to hear what's coming from the 360 and that's it, if that makes sense.

Since when is saying cancer against the rules, lmfao
