Ps3 to pc monitor "need help plz"

Hi guys i have a pc monitor that have 1 vga and 1 dvi input

right now i have my pc plugged in vga and my 360 plugged in dvi

is it possible for me to plug my ps3 with a hdmi to dvi cable without having to unplug the 360 everytime ?

is there some kind of adaptor that let you plug more than 1 dvi cable to the same input ?

thx in advance

Did you try searching Google for an adapter like that?

Your monitor has to be HDCP compliant i believe. If it is get a hdmi to dvi converter

Well do you have your 360 hooked up by a hdmi to DVI, because if so then just google HDMI Switch

EDIT - Switch, not Splitter, sorry

Ok so you PC is plugged in via DVI.

And you just have a 360 A/V to VGA adapter then, right?

So i think the best way without having to buy a lot more new cables is to get a HDMI/DVI in to DVI out splitter then.

I think that should work, but you'll have to change from PC/PS3 rather then PS3/360

well, actually you know what? forget about the switch, because i already have the hdmi to dvi cable...so that would be a waste of money... i really need something that lets me plug 2 dvi-d at the same time...something like what you showed me but for dvi instead of hdmi. i found one but only for dvi-i, i need one for dvi-dSolidSnakeJT

:lol: you're kidding me..

Ok one sec

Edit- No that doesn't, so i guess you'd have to switch cables anyway :P

Ya theres no small, inexpensive DVI splitters like the HDMI one at the moment it seems. Heres just a DVI splitter if you want.

good luck

so if i had a pc and ps3 connected i would have to remove the pc cable in order to play ps3 because the source from the pc would always be there unless i shut the pc.

But....if i had a 360 and ps3 connected, that would work because there would only be one source at once.

so if i buy a dvi to vga adaptor for my pc screen and a vga to dvi adaptor for my 360 i could plug both console in the dvi splitter... that way, i wouldnt have to switch cables, am i right ?

You know whats funny, its not in true 1080p, but from what I've seen on my monitor (which has the same resolution as his monitor), shows no cropped lines nor anything out of the ordinary at all, I can't explain it clearly, but sometimes I thought that maybe these games are adapted to be played normally at a 6:10 monitor.

1080P on a 16:10 moniter? It probably cuts the sides off the image.

Thats right, but thats a lot of cables.

I'm trying to make it so you don't have to have digital signals to analog and everything ending up not working.

Ok so how bout keeping your PC connected to DVI, having your PS3 and 360 both having A/V to VGA and then running the VGAs threw a splitter to your monitor.

Something like this for your PS3

Edit- Better/cheaper cable here

Edit2- Nevermind you'd just need a splitter not a switch... Here

p.s. the only thing that annoys me is that i can play gt5 prologue in 1080p, but uncharted is blurry in 1080 like if it was 480i or something, even though the monitor source says 1920x1079 (yes it says 1079 instead of 1080) so i have to play it in 720p

so to the other guys who says 1680x1050 monitors cant play true 1080p, i always believed it to be true, but how come the monitor tells me its currently in 1920x1079?

how would the monitor tells me that, if its not even suposed to that high?
