I am looking to be able to hook up my PC and Xbox into one monitor. Currently I have 3 monitors that I like ( 2x SMSA650, touch screen 24" from Hannspree I am unsure of the model) How would I go about connecting say a HDMI and a DVI to it so that when the Xbox turns on it will auto switch. Is there a piece of hardware I can buy to fix this?

KVM switch, or just unplug/plug in the cables :P

Do you know of a good KVM switch that is good but not too expensive? Also plugging and unplugging cables is a pain when the monitors are on a stand... No room to rotate so have to literally take it off if I was to do that.

I have 2 monitors. 1 for PC only and 1 for PS3 and PC. When I switch off my PS3 and my PC is on, my second monitor goes to PC.

When I'm on PC (with both monitors) and turn on my PS3, it's doesn't go to PS3 automatically.

Is this what you're looking for? (second sentence)

No, I am looking so that when I am on my PC that if I turn the Xbox on it will go to it automatically.
