Hello, before i get into this let me start by saying i am not great with computers but i do understand some basic stuff. If needed here are my computer specs / components:
-Asus Gtx 1050 Ti 4gb
-Asus Z170 Gaming Mobo
- 16gb ram (forgot the brand)
- 750w cx-750m power supply
- Corsair h90 ( i believe )
- intel i5 6600k

Okay so, i have two monitors both with only one HDMI port which sucks i know! I have a 24'' BenQ and a 27'' Samsung. Currently i use the Samsung monitor for my xbox one and only my xbox one while i use my BenQ for my pc. I would love to have my samsung hooked up to both my Xbox and PC so i can edit on my samsung monitor because the benq is horrendous. i would use a DVI from pc to my samsung monitor but it doesnt have a port for one. Is there anyway i can get my PC and Xbox connected to my samsung monitor while still having my BenQ connected to my PC as well?

Could you get a DVI to HDMI cabel for your BenQ (or DVI to DVI if it has a DVI port). Then run the HDMI from your PC and Xbox to a HDMI switch then to your monitor. If I understood your situation right, that sounds like the best solution.
