Pc Monitor Hook Up
« on: December 31, 2008, 04:23:00 PM »

if your monitor has 2 inputs it will most likely have a button or menu setting to select the input to display

my button is just called input and it cycles through the 3 inputs available, kind of like a TV

most likely your cable is broken, or your monitor may have an auto sensing feature where it switches automaticly to the input with a video source it can find and it is just messed up, try turning the PC on first and wait for it to get into windows, then turn the monitor on and switch inputs manually if it is still back.

mine has the auto switching thinggy and it will become very confused when i have all 3 hooked up and  the monitor is on along with the 360 but when i turn the PC on it will go nutzo and randomly switch until i turn the monitor off and then on again  tongue.gif
