DVI switcher necessary?
I hope this is the right forums. Basically what I want to do is take my computer (DVI out) and a PS3(HDMI converted to DVI) and connect both to my monitor via the sole DVI port in the back. I believe that I need a switcher, unfortunately they are EXPENSIVE. Seriously, WTF!? My question is do I actually need the switcher or is there another possibility that is not so ridiculously priced. FYI the vga port is taken by my 360.
Thanks in advance. |

If you HD monitor has only 1 DVI digital or HDMI and you have mulitples sources then you can use a HDMI switch http://octavainc.com/HDMI%20switch%204port_toslink.htm.
THen use a HDMI-DVI adapter or cable. Just keep in mind that DVI will not carry audio. |
