2-1 DVI Cable Switch? Two computers, One monitor..?

Question

Is there any way I can use two computers and one monitor with a switch, like to switch between each of the cords? If so, please link and the price.. thanks!

Answer 1

Normally you'd use what's called a KVM switch to share a Keyboard, Video, and Mouse. Those are easy to come by. You could probabaly find one that would just do video, and might be cheaper, but you won't have as many options.

Answer 2

Yes there is a way.  I just happen to have one that I got at a computer surplus store for a buck.  It's 3"H X 6"W X 4"D.  You can also find data switches and parallel switches too.  Just ask for a video switch.  I think Radio Shack has them too but I haven't seen the one near me carry them for a while.

Answer 3

You absolutely can hook 2 computers to one monitor. I am already doing this at my house.
