Hi,
This monitor has multiple input slots
One DVI-D Input
One Analogue Input
One HDMI Input

Is it possible with a monitor to plug two devices into it like with a tv?
E.G a PC and a games console/freeview box?
 
You can have all 3 running in to it and then manually select what source you want.

I have my pc (DVI) and XB360 (HDMI) going through it.

You cannot have more than one source on the screen though.

Thats what you do. Mines auto detects whatever is switched on first. So, If i have my PS3 in the hdmi and my pc in the DVI, and switch my pc on, the pc comes up, if i put my pc on sleep or switch it off and put my ps3 on, that comes through the monitor, so you can have two seperate devices plugged in

Word of warning, the audio output on this monitor is bugged atm, 5 sec delay when there is a pause. If you are using audio direct from your PC or 360 ect then you will have np.
