Hi can anyone tell me if it is possible to connect my xbox360 and pc to the same monitor and if i can what do i need ?

You can do it, what you need to do depends on your monitor. If you have more than one input it might be as simple as a cable, otherwise you need a converter which is more expensive.

If your monitor has DVI+VGA, get the Xbox360 VGA cable and use DVI for your PC, most recent (last few years) PCs have DVI sockets on the graphics cards

How do you switch between the PC and the xbox once they're connected?

Your monitor might even have component input.

Press the "Change input" button on the monitor.

720p = 1280x720, 1080i/p = 1920x1080.

Most 24" screens (in fact all that I know of) are 1920x1200 so yes, you can.
