I'm looking for a way to connect my monitor to both my PC and PS5 without having to constantly unplug the cables. I heard that there are methods or devices that can help with this. Ideally, I want my monitor to automatically switch to the active device when I turn one of them on. What equipment or setup do I need to make this work?

You'll want to check if your monitor has multiple ports like HDMI or DisplayPort. You can simply connect the PS5 to one port and the PC to another. This way, you can switch between them easily.
Most monitors come with several inputs, so you could use DisplayPort for your PC and HDMI for your PS5, eliminating the need to unplug anything.
A great solution is to use an HDMI switch, which lets you connect multiple devices and switch between them. Some of them even come with a remote for convenience!
You might also consider an HDMI splitter if you need to share the output more flexibly.
