Only want to switch the monitor. Will it do that without any other connections

Yes, if that is all you hook up, that is all it will switch. But be aware, it cannot do dual outputs, just switch between single outputs if that was even in your thoughts.

Yes you can run 2 keyboards, mice and other items without it switching those...it will only switch what you hook up.

Yes. I haven't personally done it, but if you have 2 sets of input devices and only use the kvm for the monitor, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I didn't switch only the monitor, but I did not use all the ports/plugs. I did not plug in the speaker cords and the KVM worked just fine. When the monitor port became unplugged (because my laptop doesn't provide holes into which to screw the monitor port) due to jarring the laptop, the other connections were not disrupted. I'm pretty confident that you can switch only the monitor.

The unit has two outputs. You can send any of the the four inputs to either or both of the two outputs from the remote or the unit. But both outputs are always on, so you don't ever really change outputs on the unit. If you plugged both outputs into one monitor then you could switch between the outputs on the monitor, but again that wouldn't be done with the unit.

Via VGA. It's the same connection your present monitor is probably already using.

No , it only allows for one tv monitor where you can switch between 2 sources of input.

There is no power switch or means to disable one of the VGA outputs. It's an always-on splitter, not a switch.

It does, but not well. You have to reboot the computer each time you want to switch to the external displays. Very frustrating...If anyone reads this comment and has found a way to resolve the issue, please message me!

Not this ...there is a special "switching" adapter that switches the keyboard and mouse between the two conputers... also the monitors if needed...

Two PC's to one monitor? Yes. You just switch which channel for each PC you want to view.

I use a large monitor with another computer without using a docking station- easy

I only have 1 monitor attached - I can't find any reference that says that more can be connected.

you don't need this to do that, all you need is to plug in an external monitor into the VGA port and if it has sufficient memory it can access both monitors without this cable

I did exactly that for a while, you have to cable each PC directly to the monitor. You then have to switch this device and switch the input on the monitor but it should work.

The switch box has a female connection as does the laptop. So it should if you are just connecting to the box and having the box do all the work of switching between the two desktops to one monitor.

No, it only switches between multiple inputs to one display device. What you are describing is called an hdmi splitter

No, you would need something else to use two monitors at once. This is used for switching between two monitors that are used one at a time.

Yes, but monitor needs to be hooked up to new computer - where you are transferring all your data to so you can see prompts, etc.

I only have one monitor, but there is no way to change chanels. I am not sure if it would get interference from another monitor, but it does get interference from other things. We have 4 wifi connections around our house and one makes it static and beep when it is connected and downloading large files. It sounds crazy. We bought this monitor and liked it at first but it seems to get increasingly temperamental the longer we have it.
