    PC/Vista Ultimate 64bit.

    1. Can I run two computers through the one monitor? i.e. Can I get some sort of double adapter that would allow me to connect both computers and not have the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting all the time?

    2. Who sells serious monitors in the Dublin area?

    3. I will be using my monitor for photo editing in Photoshop. What resolution should I be looking for in a new monitor?

    Many thanks.

    D.

    you want a kvm switch.
    Should be Available in peats or pcworld if you're in a rush.
    something like this

    Same for looking at monitors but i'd advise you to buy online to save your self a nice bit of euro. Although i'm not from dublin so someone else might be able to point you in the direction of a store there.

    As for monitor i've no experience but i'd imagine the bigger the better. How serious are you about it, professional? whats your budget? Better experience to be found here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=356 or here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=27

    My monitor (Dell 2007WFP) has inputs for both VGA and DVI, and has a button on the front that allows me to cycle through the inputs... worked a treat toggling between my PS3 and PC.
    Might be something to keep an eye out for while monitor shopping, that is if you don't need the keyboard/mouse switching too.
