Monitor Switching

[kmo19]

I have an MB Pro and a Mac Pro. I would like to be able to dock the MB Pro and use the external monitor I have that is currently connected to the Mac Pro. Obviously I don't want to disconnect the DVI cable from the Mac Pro and connect it to the MB Pro every time.

I would like a switch that would connect the external monitor to both the Mac Pro and the MB Pro, depending on the setting of the switch. Does anybody have a similar setup? I've tried google but only get results for KVM switches. I just want a monitor switch. Does it exist?

Perfect, thanks.

If you ever decide to replace you current monitor, most of the newer and high end models have multiple inputs for exactly this reason. I have an NEC 271 and it works perfectly with my Mac Pro and laptop.
