Technically yes. It is 2 different input ports on the monitor. I would use the HDMI for the computer that has the better graphix card. U could always hook up a thunderbolt to VGA adapter if u need to as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can connect both and switch by changing the input between HDMI and VGA (often called the PC input).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Have not used it this way as you mention. But I would think that if you do this you would need ttwo either one computer or the either to stop using the output to the monitor as it can only process one input at a time or at you could us an input switch box to manually isolate the input from computers to this monitor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am doing the same thing right now for moving data from my old pc to a new pc with just 1 monitor for both.
