Hey first of all thought i would say hi so hey!

Right i have a question well really i would just like a this would work or are you stupid that would never work you are missing ...

i want to connect my ps2,360 and pc all to one monitor but i do not want to run 360 or ps2 though my pc at all, so i was wondering if a get a converter to change the ps2 into vga, and the vga lead for the 360 and plugged both of them + the vga from my pc into a vga switch would it work so that i could just change the switch and use what i want without changing cables around? i have been looking for a device that would do it all for me but i cant find any hd one that i can use with my ps2 aswell and i dont wanna lose the hd from my 360... cheers

Joe

A VGA 4 port KVM switch probably what your looking for.

thanks but i dont need to find the products i just need to know if it will work because as far as im aware you cant just connect the ps2 directly to the monitor you need to convert it. so if i put it through and converter then into a vga switch and the switch to the monitor, then use the 360 vga cable stright to the switch and the pc vga stright to the switch?

Yes, it looks like you need a converter for the PS2, they don't appear to be that expensive, in the under $20 range.

ye cheers so is the converter for the ps2 all i would need, then just link that and the pc and 360 to a vga switch? you dont need a converter for the 360 do you just the vga cable?
