Can I use 2PCs connected to a VGA cable via a KVM switch & a media player connected to another VGA cable to one monitor via this selector?

I don't think you can. You can only use one monitor at a time with this switch. I use mine to watch movies that are streamed on my PC and have it connected to my TV. I also had to connect an audio cable from my PC to my TV.

I dont even know what that means. I'll go with maybe. Go with your gut feeling. Good luck.

Yes. I use it with KVM switch between my PC desktop and Mac laptop. Some of the extra buttons have different default assignment under two OSes, but other than that, no issues

I didn't switch only the monitor, but I did not use all the ports/plugs. I did not plug in the speaker cords and the KVM worked just fine. When the monitor port became unplugged (because my laptop doesn't provide holes into which to screw the monitor port) due to jarring the laptop, the other connections were not disrupted. I'm pretty confident that you can switch only the monitor.

You can only daisy chain using the DP out to another monitor, the HDMI port is input only unless otherwise noted on the port.

Technicaly it is only 1 single product. The cables are not interchangeable. The KVM wires are all hardwired.That being said, it is a very simple and straight forward KVM for 2 computerseconds to 1 monitor.

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

There is 1 of each available connection type. If you use a different connection for each source, you can do so and can switch between with a couple pushes of the buttons on the monitor.

Yes, the KVM draws power from the USB ports, so a monitor connection is not needed. Especially when you have multiple monitors for each computer, using a KVM to switch monitors is not practical. Using one set of keyboard and mouse for multiple computers is.

you don't need this to do that, all you need is to plug in an external monitor into the VGA port and if it has sufficient memory it can access both monitors without this cable

Please elaborate. Kvm switch gives you the ablity to connect two pc's and have them be connected to the kvm switch so you use only one monitor for two pcs. Mine is setup on my pc so my main display is hdmi and my secordary is this so i can quickly switch between pcs if im repairing one.

I would buy a dual dvi KVM switch, not this one. There are several on the market that are quite good. If you insist on this KVM, then buy an adapter to convert DVI to VGA or vice versa as needed.

This WILL work with any computer that has a VGA connection or an VGA connection to whatever output, (for example DVI....) you have.... The OS doesnt matter just the Hardware port.... So pretty much you can be running XP, Vista, 7, or 8 and as long as you have a VGA connection to plug into the KVM Switch it WILLL work... Unless the VGA port is shot lol

It works without problems, but if you use a KVM team, otherwise this cable will not work and can use either, but not simultaneously. greetings

No , it only allows for one tv monitor where you can switch between 2 sources of input.

Yes that is true. I have a computer and dvd player connected, and I can manually switch between the two sources. And, yes it sends the one input (the one you select, input 1 or 2) or same signal to two HDMI sources.

My television will do either DMI or VGA. The computer hard drive itself also has jacks obviously for both connections If you wanted to run 2 monitors off of it. One jack for each type. Hope this helps!

It depends on the laptop computers' ability to output SVGA, most all laptops have a (s)vga (Blue) output jack on them and a "function" key that allows toggling between the laptop attached screen, or the output jack or both simultaneously. Hope this helps
