most real production monitors have an A/B input. I don't know about three, however... If you just need a picture (quality is less important) Radio Shack sells AV switchers as reasonable prices.

Thanks Bennis, i'll look out for the A/V switches. i might be able to get 2 monitors as ive just been updated on the production but if not i'll get one of the A/V switches. Thanks.
