Whats the proper name for a VGA switch, hub, double adapter or whatever?

Hi,
I am buying a VGA cable for my Xbox 360 so I can play it in HD on my computer monitor. But then I thought It would suck changing the cable around all the time depending on whether I was using my computer or my 360 so I wanted to buy a double adapter for VGA. Then I went on ebay and searched for VGA switch, VGA hub and VGA double adapter and nothing comes up in Australia so I thought there must be another name for it because I know it must exist. So my question is what is the proper name for something that allows you to plug ur monitor into a computer and something els at the same time, but only use one at a time.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

KVM switch? but those are good for two computers sharing a single monitor.

I think you want a vga switch box of some sort.

Its like a KVM switch. I think you can find them at radio shack and such. Offers you a split into different tvs, monitors, etc.
