“That’s it! Oh man, I, I, I…I need some help! I think it’s got me! Oh, hi! Today we’re going to show you how to connect two computers to one monitor…I don’t think it can be done, simply because: two sockets, and one plug. How to connect two computers to one monitor? Oh, it’s quite complicated, actually. You’ve got to use an external device to create single input control. Now look, it’s not quite that easy, but it’s not quite that complicated, either. Hmm, well, there’s a couple of ways to do it. Probably still out there, though higher to find, is the old AB switch box. That allows you to connect two video cables into one box and have the monitor cable going to a third outlet. Then you simply switch between A and B. They’re very inexpensive. You could probably find some in your local computer or hobby shop. A second option for connecting two computers to one monitor, slightly more expensive, but considerably more flexible is the KVM switch. That stands for keyboard, mouse and video.
