A severe disappointment
College Slice
I've moved to a smaller apartment and instead of having a second TV to use solely to play games so as to not disturb my fiancée or prevent her from watching shows I want to run my existing 360, PS 3 and Wii through my computer monitor. I have a Gateway FHD 2400 HD computer monitor that does HDMI and component (along with the DVI I currently use for my PC) but last night as I was looking for the audio in for the component connection did I realize...of course, this monitor has no speakers.

My current PC speakers are just a generic set of Philips with a small subwoofer that has no audio in so I'm prepared to buy new speakers. Budget wise I have no problem spending a few hundred USD on a good solution (this is a small room so the speakers will never really be cranked up) so what I'm curious about is:
  1. Is there a set of computer speakers with a good subwoofer that would take digital audio output from the 360 and PS 3 and the audio output from a component connection?
  2. Should I instead just be looking at some type of AV switcher to do the job for me? My monitor only has one HDMI input so is there an audio/video switcher that would do the job for me? If I go this route I realize I still need to buy new speakers but then I can just worry about one audio in versus the multi-audio in scenario in question #1.
Recommendations appreciated.
