Connecting ps4 / pc through same DVI?

I only have one DVI port on my monitor, is their some splitter type device i could use because disconnecting wires is becoming annoying. the only alternative is using a displayport for my ps4 but i dont know what image quality will be like on that

will displayport be as good as HDMI or DVI though? i thought it was inferior, also i have a 1920x1200 monitor and not sure if it supports that

As far as I am aware display port offers the same quality as DVI & HDMI.

Yeah there all digital connections quality is the same

Oh and the model of your monitor is ?

Are you on windows 7 and which connection DVI or DP ?

in dvi win 8.1, did some research and read its something to do with a rounding issue for some monitors. for example on bf4 1920x1200 i can only enable this at 59.97hz but 1080 i can do at 60hz

yeah my acer monitor used to display @ 59.94hz i think its quite common thing

you could try doing a custom resolution and try setting hz that way but i doubt you would notice any difference anyway.
