Is there a way to hook up 2 desktops to 1 monitor at the same time?

Answer 1

8-Port 1U Rackmount KVM Switch # TL-B007-008
The Tripp Lite 8-port KVM Switch controls up to 8 computers (combination of PS/2, AT, Mac, Sun, & USB) from one keyboard, mouse and monitor. Multiple (purchased separately) KVM switches can be daisy-chained together in order to control up to 512 computers. Computers can be switched using the On Screen Display (OSD), keyboard hot key or front panel switch. The 8-port KVM switch features keyboard and mouse emulation for error-free boot-ups and works on all operating systems. Supports ultra high 180MHz video resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 pixels without any noticeable degradation. Adjusts to use as either a rackmount or stackable unit.

Answer 2

If you need both to be used at the same time, NO. But if you want to be able to switch between the two there are some pretty good switch boxes that'll allow you to plug one set of keyboard, mouse and screen to a number of different computers.

You can probably find them at a local computer store but be careful to push for quality as the cheaper models don't boost the signal and you'll notice the screen image quality to be extremely faded. A good one can cost more than 200$.

Answer 3

You can buy a monitor switch box. Both the PCs hook into the box, and the box hooks into the monitor. You flip a switch to change from one PC to the other.

Answer 4

Ask for a "KVM Switch" (keyboard, video, mouse). You can plug your monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the switch, and attach to your 2 computers; just hit a button to switch between them.

Answer 5

Yeah but you can't easily see image from both of them. But if your monitor has a digital and analog input then you can switch between them..
