I have a pc with one monitor but I'm planning on purchasing a Playstation 3. My question is can I plug in my ps3 to my monitor without having to unplug my pc-monitor wires? And can I switch between the pc and ps3 whenever I like or do I just have to buy another monitor?
 
Solution
Most monitors don't have 2 HDMI inputs, but most have 2 different inputs (DVI and HDMI for example), so using two different devices with a single monitor is usually possible.

Yes you can plug ps3 to your monitor without having to unplug your pc-monitor wires.. You will plug you ps3 to your monitor using HDMI cable and computer will be connected to your monitor using VGA/DVI cable

(make sure your monitor has HDMI port)

Do most monitors have two hdmi inputs? Because I don't have my monitor at the moment. It's a Samsung monitor 21 inches but that's all I remember it's 1080p as well
