switching inputs on monitor?

[OTSS]

Alright I have a Samsung Syncmaster 245B Monitor. I have my computer connected via the DVI port and my Xbox360 attached via the VGA port. Now when I turn on the monitor it automatically displays the computer. I want to be able to switch between the two if possible. Currently I am just disconnecting the DVI port so that it only has the VGA to read. Anyone know if I can just select which one to display?

See if there's a button with an arrow shaped like the one you see on the return key. I have a SyncMaster 940BW and when I hit it it switches over to analog. (I run DVI)

How about a KVM Switch

Nice. I've plugged my friend's 360 into my monitor before, and even though it runs 1280x720 (my native is 1680x1050) it's still unbelievably sharp and amazing looking.

I have an Acer and do this as well. For me, I just go through the menu to change connections. Kind of annoying, but my KVM doesn't use DVI and I want to use DVI for my main system. Dunno if yours changes though the menu or at the press of a button though.

It changes with just 1 push of a button. Also it should run 1920x1080 on the monitor.

Right now I have both connected and can just hit a button to switch between the 2. It is very convenient.
