If the monitor has a button to change the input, you could plug the laptop into the VGA socket and the PC into the DVI socket, and use that button to switch between them.

Thanks - I suppose the switch would have to be on the monitor side of its sockets...
None of the buttons are that sort of switch, and the monitor's menu doesn't have any switching options.
I guess then I'd need a thing to turn one VGA input socket into two, with a switch to select one?

Yes - one of these or similar.

How quaintly clunky! Yet obvious in its function.
