Hi! I'm getting a cable soon so I can plug in my xbox 360 to my pc monitor. I'm gonna connect my 360 using a vga cable and connect my pc using dvi-d cable, so they are both connected all the time. But, I have a question, what would happen if I turned my computer and Xbox on at the same time while the monitor was on?

There should be a way to change which input (VGA/DVI) your monitor displays. There's probably a button or a setting in the menu.

[EDIT]
I just got an Xbox 360, but I don't have a cable to connect it to my monitor. So I'm watching it through my TV Tuner with DScaler. It's rather ugly. I might have to get one of those cables soon.

It also took me forever to get it working with Internet Connection Sharing, so that I wouldn't have to go buy one of those wireless adapters.

Ok thanks! I was just making sure it would blow up or something lol. If you are going to get a VGA cable, you better get one fast because I think they are starting to go out of production.
