Alright I have a simple question that I cannot seem to find the answer to. I am going to buy a new 20.1 Dell LCD to go with my soon to be purchased G5. I was wondering can I hook the monitor up to the G5 (through DVI) and use the analog port to hook it up to a PC (Before you say anything, I am an engineering student and use Solidworks extensively). If so how would it know what to display? Thanks in Advance.
Got a tip for us?

In short, yes, that'd work perfectly 
The Dell will have an input select button, you just choose what input you want displyed.

You might be a candidate for a KVM switch so you can move back and forth between you PC and your G5. If you can find a DVI version then you can retain your picture quality.Emerson said:

You tell it! As edesignuk said it will have a switch to choose between DSub (analogue) and DVI inputs. When you hit the switch it will change to the other input. If there is nothing on the other input it will change back automatically after a few seconds, otherwise it will show the display of the other computer.
