Can you have two computers run off the same monitor?

My boyfriend and I would like to use both of our computers at our new house. We were wondering if it is possible to hook up his computer tower and my computer tower to the same monitor? If this is possible please explain how? Thank you!

If you are trying to hook up two computers to one monitor, keyboard, mouse set up, then you need a KVM switch. You can buy them at your local computer store, from about $50-$100.

No you cannot. Only one computer will be displayed at any one time.
sure jsut plug it in when you want it and he can when he wants it...you may want seperate speakers becasue ull have to plug those in everytime
You can have multiple computer connected to 1 monitor, 1 keyboard and 1 mouse. You can purchase what is commonly known as KVM switch that enables you to do that type of connectivities. Look for an IOGEAR 2 Port USB KVM switch. You will then connect both of your computer to the KVM switch and be able to switch the Monitor %26 input device using the KVM switch.
Yes, that is possible. You would have to hook them up at different times though. You couldn't have them both plugged in, and just switch over the monitor. What you would have to do, is just switch the plug that hooks up the monitor and computer. (It's usually a big blue cable.) It's pretty easy. Everytime that you would want to switch the monitor over, just unplug the cable from one computer, and then plug it into the other one. Hope this helps you! :)
