Riiight. So I've bought a PS4 and it's currently on its way.

I currently have a 144hz monitor connected to my PC: BenQ XL2411 and I of course have it connected using a DVI cable. The HDMI slot isn't being used right now but I would like to use it for my PS4.

Now, my question is. Would I be able to use a HDMI splitter to switch between the HDMI view (PS4) and the DVI (PC) without having to plug the DVI cable in and out every time?
 
Solution
Go into the setting on the monitor. It's System\Input and you can select either the DVI or the HDMI input. You can also map this to one of the custom keys on the monitor. There's no need for a splitter or plug/unplug cables.

Didn't think about looking around my monitor settings.
