What's the best monitor for Xbox360 and PC?

How do i connect my XBOX360 and MY pc to my dell monitor?

• I have a dell monitor which supports both DVI-D and VGA I figured i would keep my PC connected to the VGA input on the monitor and get a DVI-D to VGA connector where i would plug in this DVI-D adapter to the back of the monitor and then plug in the xbox into this adapter. I did this and nothing . I switch from digital to analog in the front of the monitor and nothing. I switched things around where i put PC into this and still nothing.???My next move if i dont get help is to get one of those Y cables . VGA on three ends.. Plug both PC and Xbox both ends and the other VGA into the monitor i just hope it doesnt reduce the resolution . Using both PC and XBOX is important because i dont want to keep switching wires when i want to move from one device to the other...thanks

• Answer:

  That will NEVER work. You CANNOT connect VGA to a monitor's DVI-D input. The DVI-D input can only receive a DIGITAL video signal. VGA is ANALOG ONLY. I would suggest you connect your PC to your monitor's DVI port if your PC also has a DVI output, and save the VGA port on your monitor for your XBox 360. And if your PC does not have a DVI jack and you are forced to use VGA with the PC, then connect your XBox 360's HDMI port to the monitor's DVI port (both are digital) using a DVI-to-HDMI cable.
