Using Monitor for Xbox and as Monitor (Switcher)? - DumpsterAim - Aug 13, 2014
So I have my xbox hooked up to my monitor using a DVI to HDMI cable and I also want to be able to switch back to my monitor without needing to unplug one cord and the other back in.
Here's how im set up now https://gyazo.com/d666fb2159ac9599a18ff15020d7ea3c

It should work but buy a more expensive one. I bought a $10 and it doesnt work for shit. So im not really mad, I mean that may work for you but, in essence its shit quality.

Wait, you want to be able to play on your Xbox, then switch to your computer without unplugging anything? Just so I understand fully.

Correct. The way it's set up now can be seen above. I have to unplug one dvi cable then plug in my other dvi to use it as a monitor again.
I want to be able to switch back and forth without unplugging.
