Is it possible to use one 2405 with two computers? I understand that it has one DVI and one VGA input. Is there a way to switch the video input with the buttons on the LCD?
 
yes. the same button switches it to composite, svideo, and componant also.

Unfortunately you can not use the Picture in Picture function to view both DVI and VGA on the same screen. That only works between DVI/VGA and SVideo/Composite/Componant... For example, it can be do PIP with VGA and SVideo, but not Svideo and Componant.
 
I don't think you can have both DVI and VGA... only one.. BUT

If one of your PC's has svideo or compsite out, you can connect it to your 2405.. I dunno if Windows, Linux or Mac would recognize svideo as a primary video output though...

The most straighforward solution is to get a KVM switch that supports 1920x1200. I've seen a couple out there if I remember correctly, just gotta look at the right places. Google's a start :)

Hope this helps!
 
If i understand correctly what you are saying.

I have a mac mini and a pc. can i use them both and just use the input select to switch between the computers?

Probably best to get a KVM swtich to use one PC at a time. The dual PiP input of the monitor is kind of lacking to say the least. I own the monitor, love it for what it is but I will be the first to criticize its faults as you can see from my previous posts.
