I have no idea what I should call this. I'm not taking my TV with me to college, so I want to take my computer, ps3, 360, and the incoming TV (cable) and run it all through my monitor.

 

Monitor is a 22 inch LG flatron w2253tq which I plan to run in DVI.

 

What I need (I've never needed one of these before so I don't even know what it is or if it is possible) is a "multimedia center" that will allow me to plug everything in to the center. All outputs from the PS3, 360, cable, and computer will go into this box. Then, one output goes to the monitor. On the box I just click a switch and the output changes.

 

Inputs: HDMI (ps3), RCA-HDTV (Xbox360), DVI (computer) , Cable ~ assuming cable will be a coaxial wire.

 

Output: DVI out/HDMI (Monitor only supports DVI/VGA, but I can get a DVI-HDMI adapter if I need it.)

So I did some looking on newegg can't find exactly what you're looking for, but I do have a few more questions.

1) Are you going to have a cable box or something? Because you'll need some sort of tuner to actually watch TV.

2) Is your 360 one of the ones with a HDMI output? So that you could buy a cable and bring down the number of different connectors?
