Hi guys I currently have a 19" samsung monitor with one VGA Input only,

Im considering buying this http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-006-BE which also only has one VGA input.

I want to run my Xbox 360 and PC (just to watch DVD's) on the new 22" through VGA.

On the old 19" I just want to run my PC.

So can I have my PC running on both monitors, aswell as the Xbox running on the 22"?

Presume I will need some switches?
 
I dont know what graphics card, and havent got a clue how to find out?

Would it not be possible to do this....



The only use the bigger monitor would have of the PC would be to watch DVD's.

I would only need one screen using my PC at any given time.
 
If the back of your graphics card (you need to check) looks like this

you are in luck. blue is vga and white is dvi.

get this monitor (V7 L22WD 22), it has dvi and vga inputs

so, you can connect your pc into the monitor via the dvi and your 360 into the monitor via the vga. ok?
 
Well depending on your graphics card you might only need 1 switch, where your current monitor goes into the back of your computer is there another port next to it that looks the same or is it wider ?
 
I, got that pc downstairs its carp :P 2.0ghz amd :rolleyes:
They is a agp slot on your mobo so just add a gfx with dvi and vga

EDIT, if that is your's, your is a intel and your mobo has ;

Expansion slots (AGP/PCI/Exten) One AGP, three PCI
