Hy Pholx, I’m using a Gefen KVM to switch betwixt two PCs each with a Desktop resolution of 2560 x 1600, to a Dell 3007WFP which has only one DVI input, so w-h-a-t contraption can help switch between both of the PCs A-N-D a Blu-ray player and also maybe a Game Console??

Technically stumped at the moment,
Myke

There aren’t going to be any simple inexpensive solutions.  Unless you just get a different display for the blu-ray and game console.  That is probably both the simplest and least expensive.
Otherwise you’ll have to deal with converters and switches and hope that the blu-ray will display properly since the Dell monitor doesn’t do HDCP.

Install a blu-ray drive in one or both of your PCs.

Find a Y-cord for DVI for your game systems.

Check your monitor for a HDMI port for the game system.

A BluRay drive in a PC will still likely have HDCP issues over DVI, best thing to do is update your gear to all HDMI (as much as I hate to have to recommend HDMI!). Video cards with HDMI out can be picked up for $40-50 that are HDCP compliant, then you just need to worry about your monitor having an HDMI input. A $100 will get you a usable HDMI switcher to switch between any 4 HDMI sources.

You can use a DVDO Duo. It’s what I use for multiple HDMI into one input. It also has two HDMI outs for multiple displays or separate audio and video over HDMI.

You can also try HDMI Matrix switch by Atlona. It has 4 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs.  AT-HD4-V42
