Since there are 3 inputs, can I connect one through XBox using HDMI and the other through desktop using DVI? Can I switch back and forward?

Adding to Howard's answer above, you can toggle back and forth between HDMI and DVI by simply pressing Button 2 of the monitor. If all three of the monitor's video inputs are each connected to a live source, pressing Button 2 will allow you to cycle from VGA (D-sub), then DVI, then HDMI, and then back to VGA (D-sub), in that order.

The simple answer is yes. There are five buttons on the bottom right side of the frame. The first button on the left is the menubutton and the second selection on the main menu is input select. Have fun.

I have the 5x1 model of this same unit, and I tried to set it up to switch my computer HDMI output between 2 different monitors. It did not work, so I would venture to say the answer is No.

Yes if they are both HDMI, i use it for my xbox, either for my screen on the wall, or on my desk. I just turn on the television I want to use.

Yeah, I've figured out as long as I don't start up to the xbox everything is fine. If I start on another input and switch to the xbox it works no problem. No big deal really, just something I have to remember to do.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, since all three ports wouldn't be used simultaneously. I however don't have a 3 port, I just switch between inputs with different hdmi cables. 3 port is a good idea.

No. It did not work for me. I used this to connect xbox to a monitor and out was so bad (forget HD) that it was impossible to play games.

For me it automatically changes, for clarity I'll give you an example of how it works for me. I have my PC and Xbox 360 hooked up to my second computer monitor. My desktop PC is almost always on the second monitor. If I turn on my Xbox, the input switches to the Xbox, when I turn off my Xbox, the screen switches back to work as the PC's second monitor.

The answer to your question is no, but if you change to game on output 1 and tv on output 2, I think it will do it. I wanted to play music on one and watch tv on the other as in sports and It will not do it. It is not independent for the 2 hdmi outs, they are linked sort of.

This is one way. It has 3 inputs (for your HDMI devices) and one output (goes to your TV, A/V Receiver, etc). They can't do what you stated.

Nope. It recieves RCA and outputs DVI, so it would be used for connecting an xbox, for example, to a DVI compliant monitor. So, it would be like this: http://imgur.com/jJu1t5p(Copy and paste into browser URL bar)

Yes, so for instance if you have a setup like mine, and you want to transmit digital audio over your HDMI and DisplayPort connections from your computer, as I do from my Nvidia card, you can use this cable to do so. I get audio from both connections. DVI in contrast won't send audio. I have mine connected to my AV receiver, sends both video and audio just fine, same as using HDMI. This is HDMI 1.3 though, so you don't get 1.4 features like 4K res, ethernet and return audio, but I don't need any of that, yet.

Didn't your xbox come with that cable mine did. As far as using this box. No it will not work. You have an input and output. It only goes out hdmi not in.

No - this is one input to many outputs. You need an HDMI Switch - "HDMI 5x1 5 Port Switch/Switcher with IR Remote Support 3D" copy this into the search there is one showing for about $12.99 and is part of Amazon prime, it should work - here is the link not sure if amazon will let me send to you: http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Switch-Switcher-Remote-Support/dp/B00264NZWS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1360551386&sr=8-5&keywords=hdmi+switch This one allows you upto 5 inputs. Sounds like it shoud select automatically - if not does have manual. THis is probably more basic but depends how much $$ you want to spend for bells and whistles. Let me know if you have other questions. Good Luck.

Hi, I took a gamble when I bought this switch and I currently have it connected similar to what you asked, monitor connected to input 1 (DVI-Female to HDMI Male adapter), lcd-tv connected to input 2, and PC connected to the output (DVI-Male to HDMI adapter).It is working fine in this manner. Hope that helps.

No, any number up to 4 inputs. You can connect both your xbox and blu-ray and it will work fine. 3D not supported.

Just grab a cheap HDMI cable and hook up your xbox to the HDMI port (Which is limited to 60hz, anyway), and if you have a PC, connect that to the DVI port. Problem solved.

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port
