The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Unique VGA situation

Submitted by roadRAGEiggy on Wed, 01/09/2008 - 11:39am.

Okay so, first time poster with an apparently odd situation. I use my computer monitor for both my computer and my Xbox 360. I'm getting sick of switching the VGA cords on the back of the monitor from Xbox 360 to computer over and over. I've seen hundreds of 1-output 2-input VGA splitters, but is there such a thing as a 2-output 1-input VGA splitter(Y cable) with a switch on it to easily change between computer and Xbox 360 screens?

Y'all understand the words that are coming out of my fingers?

You could just buy a new monitor that has a switch... but that might be a overkill, especially if you have a nice monitor. :)
