Any way to use a Wii, Xbox 360, AND PS3 on a monitor?

chris_uk333 · 17 Jan 2011 at 18:22

A friend wants to know if he can use all 3 current gen consoles on his PC monitor somehow? I know theres HDMI switches that would cover the 360 and PS3, but not sure on Wii. Is there a way?

Cheers

VGA to Wii/ps3 cable,

Cheers. Doing that, he would need to keep swapping the VGA connection in the back wouldn't he? When he uses his pc and then changing to wii?

Could this be used? His monitor has a free RGB slot

The component cable is better than the RGB for the Wii if you have the sockets. I think that's the only way of displaying it in 480p

Ok let's say start from scratch...Monitor has one HDMI slot, one DVI, one RGB. What would he need to run all three consoles? Just so i can tell him for sure

Wii to RGB
360 to HDMI or DVI using a HDMI/DVI adapter
PS3 to whichever the 360 isn't using

chris_uk333 · 21 Jan 2011 at 21:16

Is this cable ok to use on the RGB on his monitor?

On the site that you didn't just link to, you can also get a Vdigi HDMI 1080P Upscaler - I have something similar that does the job.

That cable you (didn't) link to is a SCART, by the way - no god for monitors.

Thanks, had a look but that's very pricey. He actually has an official wii component cable, is there something that could make that work on his monitor?

Would buying the wii/PS3 VGA on Amazon and using a VGA switchbox be ok? Then use PS3/Xbox with a HDMI switchbox...
