    Default PC Monitor Xbox 360

    Hey i know you can buy a vga cable for xbox to use your pc monitor but that means i wont be able to use my pc unless i plug my monitor back into my pc.

    Is there any kind of splitter or video card that i can purchase so i can easily switch between the two?

    Has anybody done this before?

    I recommend just a basic 'VGA Switch', I've got this and it does the job.

    Yup that's what you'll need, there's a small switch on top of the VGA Switch to change between PC & Xbox 360

    The VGA cable has the red and white sound inputs on it and comes with a red and white to 3.5mm jack adapter
