2 pcs, 1 with hdmi, 1 with vga, my monitor can use both. can i use this without getting a second keyboard and mouse or switching pcs?

this device supports vga, otherwise you would need an adaptor. it allows you to use two pcs with one monitor, mouse and keyboard.

I did exactly that for a while, you have to cable each PC directly to the monitor. You then have to switch this device and switch the input on the monitor but it should work.

was thinking of getting this one Panlong 2-Port VGA Switch 2 In 1 Out for PC or Monitor Sharing or Switching

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!

Theres 1 DVI-I, HDMI and the regular VGA inputs. I only have a 2 monitor setup. One colleague plugged a third one but on 1440x resolution (wacom tablet).

Yes, easily. You need no special cables or software, just a video card with 2 outputs. If a video card has 2 outputs, the normal drivers will support 2 monitors.

Yep. Just connect the monitors directly to cpu and the keyboard and mouse via switch. I Have not tried it but there is no reason it should not work.

I use a wireless mouse and suppose you could use wireless keyboard. Don't know about monitor.

Yes you can, however, one of the ports are VGA (analog signal) and the other uses DVI (digital video input).

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

This depends on the video output of the PC. A friend of mine had a simular senario trying to connect a Samsung Smart TV that had only HDMI output to an Emachine desktop that only had VGA. It didnt work.

Yes it does. One SVGA and one DVI, just like you say. Works well across the 4 PCS i have connected to it. I also use a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. That works flawlessly, too.

VGA is very picky about connection quality. That's why I'm only using this device to switch keyboard and mouse. I connect the display through DVI or HDMI or DisplayPort directly then switch on the monitor itself.

I was able to accomplish this with the same PC. I used a DVI adapter for the second monitor.

Yes you can use one keyboard & mouse for two computers with that KVM, but it might degrade the quality of the picture of your monitor. I used it once and stopped because it didn't work well with one of my computers.

Yes...this is exactly what I did. I already had one monitor hooked up to my pc with a regular vga cable. I wanted to add a second monitor and the only video port I had left on my pc was an hdmi port. So I plugged the hdmi end of this adaptor into the back of the pc and attached the vga cable of the second monitor to vga side of this adaptor...so far, it works perfectly and both monitors work. Hope this helps.

No - this is for a specific computer switch to use a single monitor and keyboard for 2 different computers.
