Great info. I'll look for sources that have HDMI when I get to that stage. But let's take a theoritical situation. Let's say I have a monitor with HDMI and several sources that offer HDMI. Now my receiver or pre/pro only has 1 HDMI input so I would not be able to have multiple sources use that receiver. My question is - are there other switches that allow multiple HDMI input & (at least) 1 output? While I don't like using switches, digital to digital shouldn't cause too much degregation (if any).

DVI or HDMI switcher is not a simple matter. For DVI switcher, several companies made/make one, but pretty much all of them had some problems or another, such as simply not working with certain brands/gear. It's not simple to get it right like a analogue switcher as it involves very high video frequency and digital circuits. And they all cost an arm.
Which is why I would have automatically bought the Panny receiver or something similar IF it had good DVI/HDMI switcher. But no luck..
