Sharp Aquos LC37XD1E - Input Dilemma

Hello all,

Hope someone can recommend a solution for me on this problem. The TV (as indicated in the thread title) has the following inputs:

2x HDMI,
Shared VGA (Component / PC RGB),
Scart x2 (i think) and component over VGA
S-Video,
RS-232 C

My problem right now is that this TV has a shared VGA / component port!

I've an XBox 360 (which i'm outputting via it's HD VGA cable) and an Argosy Media Drive (which i've outputting via component-over-VGA connection). So essentially they're both using the same input on the back of the TV (VGA / EXT 4).

Now the 2 devices using the same port can be solved using a VGA switcher (which i've ordered from DealExtreme) but the problem is i've to switch 'Input Type' under EXT 4 (VGA) to 'PC (RGB)' for the 360 and 'Component' for the Argosy. I've to do this every time i switch between them!

Bit a nuisance.. any suggestions on adapters or ways around this?
