I am looking for a DVI switch.

I wish to run DVI on both my xbox 360 and my PC on my Samsung 226BW monitor. The difference between VGA and DVI very notable and I wish no longer to run my PC on the VGA.

At the moment I run my 360 on DVI and my PC on VGA. I need some sort of switch instead of going round the back and changing them.

What kind of device am I looking for? will it need any power?
(no more power please)

lol
 
p.s I need to know what kind of cable I need that will run from the switch into the monitor.


is it DVI female to female?
 
A cheap KVM switch that handles DVI will do that but I don't know what's out there.

I seem to recall Maplins doing a DVI switch but I think it was expensive.

Edit: Take your pick
 
Yep, that'll do.

You'll need a total of three regular male to male DVI cables. You already have one so you'll probably need to buy another two.
 
Okay making some sense I got two cables already geezer.

One cable is my DVI PC cable the other is the DVI cable from my xbox 360 (HDMI to DVI)

I need one last cable it will run from the switch to the monitor. You sure it is male to male? Will that not be female to female?
