PS3/Monitor Problem

Hi guys

Im looking to connect my ps3 to my monitor but my monitor only has 1 connection that my graphics lead plugs into.

Is there a splitter i can but to maybe put in the back of the monitor that gives me 2 ports to plug ps3 and graphics lead in ? Would save a lot of messing about having to swap them all the time.

Thanks.

dont think there is a 2 into 1 cable, but there will be a box you can buy, where the two DVI plug into, and then you switch between them using the box.

just had a google using "dvi video splitter box" term, there is a dual link dvi cable and various boxes and such.

If the monitor has HDcp a ps3 to VGA cable would be an option

Just google "dvi switch with hdmi" or "dvi switch" if you just want DVI connections.

The device you need is called a "switch" not a splitter...

As above if no VGA available then
