Dell LCD and G5 Question

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.

 

DVI KVMs don't come cheap though

 

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.

 

Will an Apple Display do this as well?

 

Nope, the Apple displays are a single input -- and require software-based controls.

So it's easiest to buy a PC display if you want to share a display between PCs and Macs.
