There is a DVI input but the quality seriously blows compared to the VGA. Last time I tried it the colors were badly washed out. Maybe it was just the cable I used, idk. Anyway this monitor doesn't have any kind of switch or anything to change between DVI and VGA. The Xbox 360 w/ VGA cable is the other input I'm wanting, btw.

I was going to suggest using DVI. If the colours were washed out, then it was most likely that the cable was damaged. DVI is supposedly better than VGA, but most people cannot tell the difference. I use DVI because my monitor requires it to enable certain features. The Digital signal just works better or something like that. I'd say try a different DVI cable before buying osme elaborate piece of hardware. I do exactly what you want to do with my own monitor. DVI comes from Desktop GPU and VGA comes from laptop. I press the source button to switch between the two.
