  1. Xbox One VGA KVM Switch?


    Hey, gonna be getting an Xbox One very soon and was a bit curious if I'd be able to find something out there to hookup both my PC and my Xbox One to a single monitor. I didn't own an Xbox 360, but from speaking to a friend he said something about him using
    a switch of some kind for his 360 and it worked great. So I guess I'm just curious if this would be possible in some way with the Xbox One. Any help, advice, or info on this would be great as I'd like to possibly be able to pickup this when I get the new console...
    or if I need to know ahead of time that I should be looking for another TV/Monitor Xbox One VGA KVM Switch? :p

    Thanks

    :)

    How can I connect my Xbox 360 to my PC monitor? PLEASE HELP!

    Hey everyone, so I want to connect my xbox to my PC monitor, and I have a KVM switch. A KVM switch allows you to press a button and switch from one computer to another and still use the same monitor. I only have one computer, and I was wondering if I could
    use the KVM switch with my xbox? So I can press a button and switch from computer to Xbox, and back. The KVM switch is VGA, so if I get a VGA female to HDMI and plug that into my Xbox will it work and be HD with audio and everything? I don't plan on using
    speakers, I have a tritton headset that I use with my xbox. My KVM switch has audio support.

    Can someone please help me!? I have no idea how to do this or if it even works...

    I found this that converts the vga cable coming from the KVM switch into hdmi that I can plug into the xbox.

    In the details section it says it supports 1080p and 720p and everything. But I read somewhere that these adapters are a scam because you can't simply convert a vga to hdmi with one of these :S

    KVM VGA Switch that WILL Work for Xbox 360

    Nice and informative this is how I ran my first Xbox for a long time since my 24" desktop monitor only had a single VGA in. Was an earlier model IO gear that used scroll lock touches on a keyboard to switch.

    KVM VGA Switch that WILL Work for Xbox 360

    Well this KVM switch That I'm using. It has USB ports for a mouse and keyboard. Another thing you might be able to use, is a wireless keyboard. But then recharging will be the next thing.

    Do you use you keyboard for Xbox? If not you don't need to worry.

    .

    When it comes to sound. I can still hear the sound when I'm playing. Say I'm have a Utube video playing and I switch over to the Xbox. I can hear both. Even tho. I have the switch on Xbox.

    Hi I'm messaging you about a kvm switch and you said that it works with the 360? Does it work good and is the computer your connecting other end 2 windows 7 or vista? I have bought three switches lol and want to be sure on this one.Thanks-tyler

    Yes Bud it does work. I use it everyday. With the KVM Switch's it's all about the resolutions. The one I mention has 2048 x 1536 witch is a little more then you need. Witch is a good thing. One thing I like the best about it. Is when you hit the switch.
    It makes a sound. So you know that you did hit it. BTW I use Vista. Don't think it matters tho. All KVM switches would work for PC's. It's if it will work for Xbox, is the question. Get this one and you'll be set.
