Title: 2 HD consoles, 1 HDMI port Post by: noiseredux on July 25, 2012, 09:55:58 AM alright so my LCD monitor only has one HDMI port. So now I have to keep switching plugs between PS3 and 360. What I'm looking for is some sort of cheap, easy solution. Is there like an HDMI y-splitter or something I could get so I could keep both the PS3 and 360 plugged into the same port? I don't want anything that is going to require AC power though.

It does not require any external power "when connected to standard HDMI devices."
I really don't have any experience with these, though. But if I did need one I would buy one of the above. I'm not sure if it comes with a HDMI cable though.

Those tend to have tons of connections, so it might come in handy for other systems as well.
