I figured maybe someone here has there xbox360 hooked up to their monitor along with a PC and uses a KVM to switch between the 2.

I want to get one that doesn't degrade the picture quality. I don't need the mouse and keyboard support but I would like it to have audio. I would also prefer it to have an external power supply if possible. Thanks.
 
Haven't used it but this is the top rated on newegg...

Even has a review or two of people using it with a 360 and only one out of 38 people seemed to notice much degradation but you always take a chance with that (I think you'd notice degradation in the computer's resolution first though) . Anyhow it will be tough to find a KVM switch without the K or M, you could try a VGA switch box I suppose but those are usually a little more $ and will probably degrade it the same or worse.
 
If you have Fry's Electronics stores in your area, keep an eye out for one of their specials. I recently got an I/O Gear KVM for $10 AR. They had a more expensive model ($60) that supported USB mice and keyboards.

It was probably this model:

Yep, Fry's shows it for $10 less from them.

Enabling a USB keyboard for both your PC and Xbox is a bonus. The USB mouse, not so much as yet, but that could change. Getting a USB KVM is probably worth the higher price.
