Re: OT mionitor connections



yes, with the dell ultrasharps, they basically are 4 port video switches. you can easily hit the button on the front of the lcd and you will toggle thru all the connected ports. very nicely done.
a corresponding light will tell you which of the 4 sources is being used.

other brands like planar dont have this feature. you have to go into the setp menu to change the source.

i sometimes do this, and the only problem i've seen is that when one computer goes to sleep before the other, the lcd switches to the one that still has the signal. so i get confused when i look at the lcd.
my desk has 4 dual-ported lcd's on them.... not to mention 5 wireless mice...
