Ok this seems like a dumb question but I read something that now makes me wonder.

I have two computers that each have 1 DVI-D out video port.

If I were to buy this monitor:

Would I be able to connect one computer to the DVI-D port and then the other computer to the HDMI port using a DVI-D to HDMI cable?

I was pretty certain this would work until I read this on about.com:

“In addition, while a monitor with a DVI connector can connect to a HDMI graphics port on the computer, a HDMI monitor cannot connect to a DVI graphics port on the computer.”

Also anyone know of any good 22" - 26" monitors that have dual DVI in case this actually doesn't work?
