Is there a hub, switch box or something that would let you use one moniter between two seperate computers? I am building a new system but buying the new moniter last. And I still need to use my old system and my new system at the same time. And it would be a pain to have to unscrew the moniter cables everytime.
You’ll probably want to shop around for your own link if you can’t just pick one up locally. That’s the first link I found. Don’t expect the cheap one with mechanical pole switches to hold up for a lot of switching, but if you’re just using it until you spring for the second monitor, you’ll probably be OK. I have a similar little box hanging off one of my serial ports.
If you are choosing the monitor last a fair number of the better 19 and 21 inch monitors have switchable dual A/B input capability for either dual 15 pin VGA/VGA or VGA/BNC (which would require a VGA to BNC cable about $ 30 or so). This would have less signal loss and potential signal interference problems than a switchbox.
