I currently have a Hitachi HDTV (65S700), and it only has one DVI port, which I currently use for cable TV. I also occasionally attach a DVI cable from my PC, having to swap cables, which is kind of an ordeal. The real problem is when I get a PS3, and I will have to be switching even more frequently, AND I believe it only uses a HDMI cable. I guess I'll get something to turn it into DVI and use it as a DVI cable, but I don't know if that deteriorates video quality.
What would be ideal would be a switch, so that I could have multiple imput cables attach (PC DVI, Cable DVI, PS3 HDMI with a DVI adapter, and in the future an upscaling DVD player and/or Blu-Ray/HD-DVD player) and output one to the back of the television, with some sort of simple switch without having to swap cables. I saw an HDMI switch thing somewhere, but no DVI switches. I also don't know about how a switch could lead to deteriorating video quality, if at all.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
