Switching between dual monitors

chowks · 17 Dec 2010 at 08:04

At the moment I have two monitors on my desk - the main one for my PC and the one to the side for my PS3. Sometimes I like to switch the two and have the main one connected to my PS3 so I can game without having to sit awkwardly.

Does anyone know if a device exists that let's me switch between the two without having to keep on physically switching over the cables every time?? Like maybe a box I connect both PS3 and PC to that then connects to the monitors and that has maybe a button/switch that you can press to switch over signals??

Just a long shot....

Cheers lads

hi mate,
They've got no hdmi inputs unfortunately (they're both Samsung 226BW's). I've got a HDMI to DVI cable for my PS3. Each monitor has one DVI-D and one VGA input.

Actually...if I just get 3 more HDMI to DVI cables then I could use one of those switch boxes right??

Sorry....was posting that while you were posting!

What I mean is, if I have a DVI to HDMI from my PC (gfx card doesn't have an HDMI output) to the box, and HDMI to HDMI from my PS3 to the box. Then have 2 HDMI to DVI's running from the box to each monitor.

Does that sound like it would work?

Cheers guys.
