I think this is the opposite of what you need. I think this just split the DVI signal (say, from your PC) to another DVI or HDMI.

You need something like this:

There is also this:

All you need is a cheap DVI selector/switcher which you can find in PC stores, and then you can use a cheap HDMI to DVI cable (cheap because all you need is 720p, the monitor will upscale byitself just fine).

Buy monitor with multiple inputs. Mine has DVI, HDMI and VGA so I don't need any adapters. I have two PCs connected to it all the time, one via DVI and other via HDMI.
