2 Computers, 1 Monitor

[N2K]

I was able to connect two computers to my LCD which has both analog and digital outputs. With in the monitor settings I was able to switch between both computers, but had to grab another keyboard and mice. I would like to do this but it gets boring going into monitor settings every time.

Is there any way that I can switch between computers but only use the same mouse, keyboard and monitor?

KVM, look for it on newegg. Belkin makes some good ones.

That would work, you shouldn't need a really expensive one.

That one has some bad reviews on it, find a different brand .

Instead of using a KVM you could also enable Remote Desktop on the second PC, and connect to the desktop of it. This way you don't need to have keyboard or mouse or monitor connected to it directly.
