VGA Connector - HELP??

Hi folks
Was wondering if anyone could offer any help with setting up my 360.
I have a vga cable to connect to my LCD PC monitor, which works great, however I am not keen on keep pulling out and swapping the VGA leads every time I want to either use PC or 360. Does anyone know if a connector block or adapter exists, which allows dual input sources to the monitor i.e 360 and PC into 1 monitor. I cant seem to find any.

Thanks

I ordered a VGA switch box, which works fine in terms of I can switchbetween the 2 sources however I get a slight ghosting appearing on both sources...must be interference from the switch. I think what I need is a digital VGA splitter/switch although im not sure where to get one???

You probably got a cheap switchbox. You need to get a better quality one.

Send a message via AIM to aznknife
Newegg, and Tigerdirect would be your best bet.

Cheers for your replies people. I think I am going to try a KVM switch now and see How I got on with that. Fingers crossed.
