So I recently purchased a PS3, which I'm hooking up to my computer monitor (1680x1050). The problem is that I have only one DVI port, and everytime I want to switch I have to pull out the one I'm using and hook up the other one, which is quite irritating considering that I switch quite oftenly.
I have been looking for a DVI-D switch but I can't find a cheap (less than $200) one that has 2 in ports and 1 out port, they either have one in and 2+ out, or are very expensive.
I know that they can't be very cheap, but $200 (often more)? I only need a very simple thing, no remote controls, auto-switchers or anything like that, it will be close to where I sit anyways.
So are there any cheap (but that don't ruin image quality) switches? Or are they all expensive?
$118

I looked all over Swedish websites, and found what I needed, but for twice (or more) the price of that.
Also Amazon ships to Sweden, right?
Actually ignore the above question, I just read up about it and they do ship all over the world.
Honestly, if you can afford $200ish, maybe you should consider a new monitor? My Asus was less than $200, has VGA, DVI, and HDMI, and displays at 1920x1080. Might be something to consider if you can find a deal where you live.

You can't use all the ports at once.

press a button, and you change the input.
Just like the dvi switch OP needs.

PC on DVI, Xbox 360 on VGA, PS3 on HDMI. I can switch between them all at the push of a button on the side of the monitor. It's great. And no need for an extra switch box or anything sitting around adding even more clutter to my desk.
