I have a Gateway and Samsung and they do the same thing. Just look at the specs to see the input connections for the ones you're looking at.

I have a ViewSonic and it works that way.
Ummon:
Are we talking LCD or CRT in general here above? Mine's a Dell (Sony) Trinitron CRT that has two inputs.
shmokes:
He is considering buying a new monitor, so it's probably safe to say we are not talking about CRT. ;D

I'm feeling pretty dumb now that I look at my four year old dell monitor that has a hot switch right on the front panel that switches it from vga to dvi. I've known its had both connections but did not realize you could switch between the two. I always thought that it just defaulted to whatever was plugged in locking the other out.
With that said any issues having two computers plugged in at the same time and on? As for the monitor I'm currently looking at an Asus 24 inch LCD.

Seems to have good reviews, vga, dvi, and hdmi connectors and has the hotswitch on the front panel. I downloaded the instructions and mentions switching between video sources but does not say anything about both sources being on at the same time causing a conflict. Anyone have any experience with this monitor?
