2 into 1

Anyone got any ideas how to connect 2 1080p devices into 1 Benq2420 DVI input cost effectively?

I would use a HDMI switch.

Got any experience of something not too expensive?

What happens if one of the graphics cards goes to sleep?

I have not used one my self but there are manual and automatic HDMI switchs available for £20-30.

If its 2 computers you are connecting to the monitor maybe a DVI KVM switch would be better idea.

i x Macbook and 1 x PC
KVM sounds like a lot of cables....
Can't quite get my head around the graphics cards going to sleep issue - I'd probably only ever be using one or the other thru the Benq and not continuously switching.
