Can I attach an Xbox 360 console and PC to one LCD monitor??

[Bofhluser]

I just bought an Xbox 360 console and I'm thinking of upgrading my CRT
monitor which I'm using now for the PC.

I'm thinking of buying a big (24-inches or larger) LCD PC monitor with
a built-in TV tuner (it'll have all kinds of input plugs ie. VGA, DVI,
HDMI, etc). I'm thinking that I'll attach my PC to the VGA plug on
the monitor and the Xbox to the HDMI plug in the monitor.

Is this do-able? Will I be able to attach both the Xbox console and
my PC to this monitor concurrently (without removing connections to
the display each time I use the Xbox and the PC)? Thank you much.

Yes. You could even have the PC and the XBox turned on at the same time and
use the remote/buttons for/on the LCD to switch between them.
