Is there a switch I can buy to connect my PC (DVI) and PS3 (HDMI) to my monitor?

Hey guys i'm trying to find an adapter switch of some sort to keep both my PC and PS3 hooked to, so all I do is press a button or flip switch to have my monitor pick from PS3 or PC. As of now i'm unhooking the PS3 HDMI and hooking back the PCs DVI cable to switch back and forth when i'm not using the other system. It's getting tedious switching back and forth and I know there are adapters and splitters but i'm just not sure what to look for.

Any help will be appreciated.

Leave both connected and there must be an imput selector on your monitor?MonsieurX

Yea, there must be. It would be very odd for a monitor not to have a built-in switch for different inputs.

Sorry I think they're both HDMI cables and I only have 1 HDMI input on my monitor.Ice-Cube

I just figured it out, thanks guys. All I need is a DVI splitter and thats it, I know i'm a bit dumb lol.Ice-Cube

DVI splitter won't work. That doesn't join connections. You need a HDMI switch.

This way, you can use an HDMI cable from the PS3 to the switch, and a DVI -> HDMI cable to connect your PC to the switch (if you're using the DVI output on your computer.) Then just get another DVI -> HDMI cable to connect the switch to the monitor. You can find that stuff on the same website as the HDMI switch.

You'd have to get some kind of KVM switch probably.

Also my monitor only has 1 DVI input and that's all, not HDMI as I first thought.

DVI and HDMI are the same thing, minus the audio. What I linked is an HDMI switch. You can plug multiple HDMI/DVI connections into it and then you choose which one to display. The box has 2 inputs, 1 output for HDMI. You'll need an HDMI cable for the PS3 (which you can find on the same website) and then you'll need another DVI to HDMI cable (also on the same website.) For the PS3, you'd use the HDMI cable to connect it to the HDMI input on the HDMI switch. For the PC, you'd use the DVI to HDMI cable to connect it to the HDMI switch. Then for the output, you'll need a 2nd DVI to HDMI cable to connect the box itself to the monitor.
