March 17, 201411 yr I am sure one of you very knowledgeable people on here who visit the IT shops regularly , is such a monitor available in Thailand, thats 1 monitor where i can connect 2 pcs to,(not to use at same time,but to change over) or will my only option be a LED tv with 2 or 3 HDMI outlets, 23 -28 inch ? I got these small HDMI switchers from UK , 3 HDMI inlet and 1 outlet, but they dont work, messes the monitor up, good job they were cheap Googled the problem and it says need KVM switch, which are expensive, half price of a monitor. Thanks and kind regards Worgeordie
March 17, 201411 yr Some widely available Samsung 27" models have 2 HDMI ports + 1 VGA. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
March 17, 201411 yr Is Bt1500 a deal breaker?I use one of these to switch between the various A/V sources so I can save HDMI ports on the TV (I currently have five sources and only three HDMI ports on the telly). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-port-High-Speed-3x1-HDMI-Auto-Switch-Selector-w-IR-Remote-FullHD-1080P-3D-V1-3-/151118892982?_trksid=p2054897.l4276 20 quid for a 3-Port.

Hi Chicoq, those are the same idea as the ones i have,but without the remote, they will work with other HDMI devices but don't with the 2 pcs, ? so looking for monitor with more than 1 HDMI connection,those other switches i mentioned are 60/70 quid + and come with a right tangle of wires,trying to keep it simple as possible. regards Worgeordie
March 17, 201411 yr Well I have a 32-inch Samsung LCD on my desk with two HDMI inputs, but for various reasons I don't use it as a monitor (I already have a Dell 27" on the laptop to give me extended monitor).
March 17, 201411 yr Oh, I forgot, excellent IPS monitor Philips 274E5QHAB/00 has 2 HDMI + 1 VGA. Should be 8600-8700 baht
March 17, 201411 yr Are you planning to use a separate keyboard and mouse for each computer? Or are you planning to physically move the keyboard and mouse from one computer to the other? If not, you will need a keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch. Be careful to get the HDMI specification that matches the HDMI ports on your video cards. There several specifications out there. You can Google the HDMI specs. They're on Wikipedia.
March 17, 201411 yr Geordie i have a 23 inch AOC monitor with 2 hdmi sockets and a IPS panel LED (aoc d2367) got it from JIB for about B4700.....i run it from my laptop through HDMI...very pleased with it.

Hi firefox999uk, Thats exactly the model I was just looking at on Invade IT site, the price is right, then next question was going to be are AOC any good ? so glad to hear you are happy with yours, and thanks for the heads up about price at JIB, as InvadeIT s were 5,550 bht, so you will have saved me some money, thanks a lot. You can connect 2 pc to the monitor,(but not use at same time obviously) ? Thanks and kind regards Worgeordie
March 18, 201411 yr Geordie there is a button on the monitor to let you choose which hdmi Input to use, hdmi 1 or hdmi 2 so it seems that’s what you’re looking for. AOC monitors are quite good…the first monitor I ever got, a 14” CRT, was An AOC but that was back in the early 90s…the beauty about the new one is that it has a IPS panel that is only usually found on more expensive models. Sad to say that I’ve just looked on JIB web site and can not find this model listed any more, but they may have it in the JIB shops…good luck
