hey guys. k this is what i have done. i have an lg 19" lcd monitor. 3000:1 contrast ratio and 2ms response time. it has a vga connection and a DVI-D connection on the back. I want to hook up my computer and my 360 to my monitor at the same time. I figured i would use a vga cable to go from my comp to my monitor. then i bought a dvi-d to vga adapter off of ebay for $4. the computer connection works, but the 360 through the dvi-d connection does not work. i changed the monitor to digital and still nothing is coming up. i no the monitor has found it but it will not show any picture. i have the same problem if i connect the computer vga cable to the vga-dvi-d connector. i have a vga cable splitter, so this way i could have both the 360 and my computer hooked up to my monitor through the vga port at the same time, but when i use my comp it has serious ghosting problems. but then everything is fine when i play my 360. so the the splitter is out of the question because i cannot stand the ghosting. is there a way i could have them both hooked up through vga without ghosting? or another way that i could hook up my 360 vga adapter to my dvi-d connection on my monitor?

thanks.

well, if you have both ports, why don't you use the VGA just for xbox, then use the other for pc? use them both at the same time

My guess would be to try and find a new splitter with a signal boost, or take your monitor back to where you got it and demand a defective return.
