my dila has hdmi, and 2 component. no vga, also very spartan on the inputs. I guess that they think you will hook most of your stuff through a receiver, but that doesn't always yield great results. on the plus side, the inputs can accept multiple types, so my xbox component and ps2 composite share input 2. hd cable and component dvd still have to share the receivers switching inputs, because Cox hasn't turned on their dvi output. but since ps2 can do component, I am already out of inputs.

There are external switchers, but most don't have remotes, and are worthless because of that IMO. Gefen makes a dvi 4 to 1 switcher, it's 350 bucks though. they are also coming out with an hdmi 4 to 1, and both have remotes. they seem well thought out, as the remotes have 4 different sets of code built in so that you can cascade the switchers. I have not found a good component switcher with remote.
