I have an Xbox with 14" tv and a Dell 3100 with the regular Dell E176FP TFT monitor...
i am thinking of moving the TV to another room and having the XBox connected somehow to my Dell Monitor ...... but I don' want the hassle of constantly unplugging cables etc
i need a solution that means I can use both the PC and Xbox indepedent of each other without the hassle ........ any ideas please ...... what extra equipment do i need
Afaik the Dell monitor has VGA inputs only with no DVI ...... I really don't know what that means ....... and whether that is a problem or not!
Thanks in advance for any replies
