Hi

Im looking to buy a new monitor,
I was looking at some 22" Monitors however after looking at the specifications im still not sure how many video plugs they have at the back.

I want to connect my PC and my Xbox up to the monitor with out having to swap video leads all the time.

Can anyone recomend a monitor (UK) that will do this?

Thank you

Most monitors have both a VGA and a DVI port on the back. Some of the higher end models will include HDMI. If your Xbox360 has HDMI, that would be the easiest way to go. Hook up the PC using DVI and the Xbox with HDMI and you'll just have to select the input on the monitor when you switch.

This monitor for example has both DVI and HDMI: http://novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?SAM-T220HD
