XBOX 360 and PC -> 1 LCD

[roninblade]

Im looking for a DVI switch so that I can use my LCD with both my laptop and XBOX 360. Many of them go for like $150. Are there any cheaper ones.

Monoprice to the rescue!

Do you have this? Is it good?

 

[Jediskilz173]

Nope, but I can vouch for the quality of Monoprice-built parts. They're cheap as hell and just as good quality as cables and electronics a few times the price!

I've got a Westinghouse L2410NM, so I don't need a switch for all my inputs.

So this work if I connect my ps3 to the switch via hdmi>dvi, my pc with a dvi cable, and then my monitor via dvi cable?

The monitor also needs to have HDCP support if it's from a PS3.

Samsung 226BW is HDCP.

So this will work correct?

It should -- just remember to hold down on the power button until it beeps twice to reset the video settings, then have it run in 720p since your monitor can't do anything above that.

Sweet just ordered. Hopefully games will look better on my Samsung than on my old tube TV.
