The 500 won't do 1080p... The specs page says it'll sync to 768p, therefor it should look best with 1080i (set your sources to that as a maximum.)
As for switching, there are a number of switchers out there from Extron, NEC, and others. The Extron 202xi (IIRC) is a two-way switcher and line driver (this is important!) where you could have a fury backed up by an HDMI switcher for HDMI into one VGA input and your PC into the other.
--Edit: Composite and S-Video will only carry SD, maxing out at NTSC or (I think) PAL resolutions. The above-described kit is probably the cheapest way to get HD source switching for both VGA (laptop) and HDMI/DVI.
