Answer 1

You can only plug a monitor onto one source at a time.

If you want to use multiple sources then get a quality video switch so that you do not have to shift cables.

Or check if your monitor has multiple inputs. Most monitors with a DVI connector support DVI-A which allows you to connect a VGA cable via an adapter. If there are four contacts around the slot contact at one end of the socket then it will support analog.

The video lines in the cable are terminated with a 75 ohm impedance. So when you split the cable an plug it into two sources you are changing the impedance, so there is excessive load on the cable which will reduce the signal (make it dimmer) and possibly effect the slew rate (blurry) of the signal, possibly cause ringing or reflections (ghost images)

hi, in case you get the ideal connection kit you dont could desire to plug the video show right into a pc in case you purchase the ideal kit you may purely plug stright into the pc video show wish this helped
