What's the best solution to plug a PC, 360 and PS3 to a Dell 2407?

Currently I'm set up with:

360 - VGA
PC and PS3 - DVI

Problem is I hate reaching to the back of the monitor to exchange DVI cables all the time.

I initially thought I'll just buy a KVM switch and use it for the 360 and PC (through VGA) and leave the PS3 DVI where it is, but a little searching in the forums revealed that the image quality is poor.


Any suggestions from anybody will be greatly appreciated.




P.S. Please refrain from solutions involving me to buy another LCD monitor/TV


edit: BTW, image quality through component on the 2407 is piss poor, so forget about that.

@ nerd

that's a sweet cost effective solution. I never thought of that. Cheers.

@ acougan

that's a nice product find there. Any idea of price and availability?

I'm also concerned about image quality, tat's the most important above all else

HDMI to DVI cables are easily available in game shops and AV stores. You can even get them at Ace Hardware.

Price ranges from RM50 - RM90. My advice is to just get the cheapest, digital cables are digital cables.
