2 Inputs on 1 LCD monitor

[muzikfreakah]

Most LCD monitors have two inputs, 1 analog (VGA) and 1 Digital (HDMI/DVI).

What happens if you plug 1 CPU on HDMI, and 1 Laptop on VGA? Will it ask you to choose and input like A KVM switch or one will override the other, if the latter, which one?

nope i don't think its possible

unless your monitor will allow you to select the input....

only one input will work

i used to wonder the same exact thing, im using the digital input for my pc and the analog for a cable box (im using my monitor as my tv also) before i always turned one off before i turned on the other cause i was afraid both signals at the same time might fry my monitor or something. but then i discovered by accident that my monitor had a signal input select button and i just had to activate it from the monitor setting menu. so now i can have both devices on at the same time and just by the press of a button select which one i want the monitor to display. very convenient really. your monitor may or may not have the same option. i suggest you read your manual.

i think you choose what input the monitor will use.

All modern monitors have a button that selects which input it's going to take the signal from if you have multiple inputs.

nope, the engineers should be blamed for that if happens.. hahah.. why put two inputs together if the monitor cant support?

alternatives, if one is damage you still have the option to use the other one or for older model and new model[1 analog (VGA) and 1 Digital (HDMI/DVI)]
