The title may seem confusing but heres the story:

Today i bought a new Samsung 216BW 21.6" LCD monitor. I bought this to use it mainly on my pc, but since it is hdcp enabled, why not use it for my ps3??? So anyways, I know that I need a dvi to hdmi cable for the ps3 to work on the monitor, but I would like to know if there is a cable I can buy that will have one dvi connection that i can plug into the monitor, and the other end would have 2 connections, one dvi connection, and one hdmi connection so that I wouldn't have to change cables every time I wanted to switch from pc3 to pc. Any possibilities?

That was actually backwards from what he wanted

This and Some of these may be better, though

no, is there something with 3 connectors. At one end: DVI. At the other end: DVI and HDMI

No, except what I linked before, which wouldn't work because you need a switch.

explosions is right it wont works if you had a 3 way cable...What you really needed was a switch...

Connect your computer to the monitor via vga, and the ps3 via dvi, then there is a button on the monitor to switch between inputs
