Hi I plan to purchase the samsung 2233 sw monitor http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=informationtechnology&type=monitors&subtype=tftlcdmonitors&model_cd=LS22CMZKF/XL .It has both DVI & VGA ports. I wish to connect my HTPC through DVI and second PC through VGA.Since I will be using one at a time are dual input lcd monitors able to switch from one signal to another(DVI->VGA->DVI) automatically.I believe some models allow to manually switch between modes but after a few months the buttons become weak (common with samsung).
 
Does it even have physical buttons? I bought my parents a samsung LCD monitor in december and it didnt use buttons - you just touched part of the bezel and it had a capacitative sensor or something.
I dont recall if it auto-switched inputs - if it did, you'd need to shut the other machine down to make it work.

At work i use my dell lcd monitors for 2 machines - the input switch button hasnt worn out on them yet.

Oh - And the displays forum would be a much better place to ask this question,
