I have a LCD with one DVI port and one VGA port.  I use the DVI for my PC and the VGA for my 360.  Is there any way to switch between them on the fly?  So far all I can figure out is if I want to use one, the other needs to be unplugged.  This becomes a pain after a while.

 If anyone can help that would be great, thanks.

This depends on the monitor. Every monitor I've purchased that had both connectors had a "Source" button on the front that could be used to manually switch between them without having to disconnect anything. However some of them were set to auto-detect initially and I had to find and turn off that setting for this to work. On my current Samsung monitor the setting is called "Auto Source" under the "Setup" section. I set it to "Manual".
