Hey guys

Quick rundown: I got my PC connected to my LCD monitor via VGA and my 360 via DVI and every time I want to switch sources I have reach over and press the 'source' button behind the LCD which is a bit annoying.

Is it possible to buy some sort of remote that can switch sources easily? Does something like this exist?
 
You get sometype of cable, I'm not sure what it's called, then you attach both screens or inputs to it and just press a button to switch sources. Sounds confusing I know :p
 
It should be technically possible as the "MagicTune" software from Samsung allows one to change the source by selecting an option from a dialog box. I don't think that software works on non-Samsung monitors

Thanks. ;)

I'm trying to figure out if doing it wirelessly is even possible, the remote sends out and RF signal right? But how is the LCD gonna get that signal, it doesn't have any sensors. :confused:

I'll keep looking for solutions though, anyone else have ideas?
