Two Inputs On Dell 19" Monitor?

I hold a 19" Dell Monitor I bought last slop, I believe the model number is 1905FP. It has both DVI-D and VGA (Sub-D) inputs, and I be wondering if I could hook up two computers to share the single monitor WITHOUT USING A KVM SWITCH! I don't want to buy a KVM switch, so if I can do it w/o one, that would be better. If this is possible, how do I switch from one input to the other?



Thanks.


Answer:

No, you can't do that, I used to work for Dell. Part of the time I was at hand I was carrying out tests graphics cards for the machines. I spent a lot of time trying to break them. I used lots of different monitors lots of different ways. You can hook a monitor up to two machines but in some way. Those connectors are just so you own a choice. You need to use the switch.
u cant do it.
you can't hood up two computers, single one, either the dvi input or the vga, and you want a video card that support DVI if not than you'll enjoy to use the VGA input.
Yes you can hook one computer to the DVI-D input and another to the VGA input. Then use the switch on the monitor to switch between the two. We have done this next to a monitor at my work.
