    360 Via monitor help

    Hey, need some help setting up my 360 to run on my monitor..


    I currently have a LG 1914WT, which runs my PC via DVI, i just bought a 360, and also the VGA adaptor so that is connected at the same time... problem is for some reason it wont let me swap between the two by pressing a button on the side as it seems to force back to the PC connection every time, so atm im having to unplug my dvi cable from the monitor to let it run VGA...

    Is there any way round this or am i going to have to live with this :/


    also as 1440x900 is not supported on the 360, im guessing 1280x768 or what is the best choice??

    always used 1280x768 on my 22". never had a problem with my monitor "wandering off" from the xbox signal either, and it did switch properly when the 360 was turned off so cant help you there

    nah works fine when i go from xbox to pc or VGA to DVI rather, its just that it doesnt like going from PC to Xbox (DVI to VGA) whilst the DVI cable is still plugged in...

    My samsung 22" has this issue but it only seems to appear when the Dvi device was turned on before the VGA device.

    Try this first.
