Answer:

If it has just one place, then switch when needed.
plug both cables in, done
That BenQ monitor you have will NOT work with the PS3. At least not directly. It is NOT HDCP-compliant-- It only has an analog VGA input. The PS3 has NO native VGA support. If you want to connect the PS3 to a VGA-only monitor, it requires either a signal converter box or an active adapter. The one active adapter cable available on the market that has a chip to convert the PS3's analog Component signal to VGA gives very poor video quality. You want to use an LCD monitor with the PS3 without crippling loss in video quality, buy a monitor with an HDMI input.
