Can I hook up 2 computers to the same monitor?
Hi guys.. I have a dell 1905F LCD monitor.
Since I'm buying a new computer, I was wondering if I could use the new computer and old one with the same monitor. Using one's DVI cable and the other's VGA cable. I was thinking of getting a KVM switch but they are quite expensive with DVI ports. So, somebody told me that the monitor will detect both computers and let me switch between them. Since I don't have both computers here yet, I can't try this. Thanks..

If the screen has an input select switch, you can indeed use it to switch between the computers. You'll still need two keyboard and mice though.

i agree with Itsacon. it's very easy to swtich between each computer by pressing the input button. you should have no problems what so ever. we have a computer at work that's connected the same way.
