Hi, I have an extra monitor which I mostly use with my desktop thru its DVI connector. However I would like to use it also as an extra monitor for my laptop which sits on my piano. In this case I would use the extra monitor's only open port, which is VGA (which I would connect to my laptop using a VGA to Mini Display Port adapter).
Before I go out and buy the proper cable, I'd like to know, is it possible to keep that extra monitor connected at all times to 2 different machines? What happens if both computers are running at the same time? Which will it display? Does it favor DVI over VGA?
