Default VGA Switch to Use?!?!

Hey everyone. Looking to connect my 360 when it gets back from the repair shop to my Samsung 22" Widescreen Flat-Panel which is connected to my PC.

I did some research but I would like to know everyone's opinion. What is a great VGA switcher to use with a 360 that wont cause ghosting or any loss in picture quality? Something that I can just push a button and switch between PC and 360. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks.

So no one uses their PC monitor as their Xbox 360 monitor? Was looking for some info. Has to be someone out there who knows a little about KVM/VGA switchers.

Was looking at this one...
CompUSA.com - Belkin

Any Thoughts???

Sorry dude. Being the renegade that I am, I went the unconventional route and hooked my 360 up to my television. If anyone knows of good a 3rd party VGA cable that costs less than the $45 or so MS is asking, I'd be interested in that.

Honestly, I think a Belkin product will be fine, but I think you'll have a hard time finding anyone that has a lot of experience with VGA switches. Most ppl use a dock to connect their laptop to a monitor, so VGA switches just aren't that common.
