Connecting Two Computers to One Monitor
What you'll need: A switch box in order to toggle between the two machines. Steps- Buy a switch box. Use a search engine like Google or Yahoo to find to switch-box manufacturers.
- Buy a pair of SVGA cables if they aren't included with the switch box you buy (kits including a box and cables are a more practical value for most setups).
- Buy any necessary adapters if you plan to connect a PC and a Mac to one monitor.
- Shut down both computers.
- Connect the monitor to the switch box (probably to the center socket on most boxes).
- Connect both computers to the switch box.
- Tighten all hand-screws on monitor plugs.
- Turn on monitor.
- Reboot both computers.
- Turn the switch box from A to B (or whatever designation the box uses) to make your different computers appear on the monitor.
Note
If you're going to be using one monitor for a PC and a Mac, make sure that your monitor is compatible with both computers. Multiple sync monitors should work.
