Newbie question - monitor for PC and Xbox

[topless_mx5]

I am looking to buy a monitor ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ACER-X233HB-23-INCH-WIDE-TFT... )

Need it to connect my laptop/PC up to it, and also my Xbox 360. I have a VGA cable for the Xbox so can connect that up. But how can I connect both PC and Xbox up at the same time, so I dont have to switch wires around every time. Is it possible on that monitor?

Does it not have an HDMI or DVI input?

If not you can get a VGA splitter for not much money.

Should have. I run the Xbox on VGA and the PC over DVI

Why not shell out £30 more and buy this then you can use hdmi.

Not too fussed about HDMI, VGA quality isnt far off is it?

Am now considering this monitor: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2333SW-Widescreen-...

Only thing is, it says DVI LCD Monitor, and no mention of VGA inputs. Does this mean I cant connect my Xbox to it using my VGA cable? Anyone got this monitor?

if you are considering that samsung then you should buy the viewsonic from CCL, trust me it is better.
