I've never come across a dual-input monitor which didn't allow you to select the input, i.e. switch between VGA and DVI. Given that your PC has DVI out, the thing to do would be to connect the laptop by VGA, the PC by DVI, and see what happens. (I would hope to find a button on the monitor, marked SOURCE or INPUT or something similar. It may also have logic to notice that only one input is hot and switch to that input.)

Thanks - I don't have a DVI cable yet - this post is by way of working out a tech shopping list :-) I'm of limited mobility at the mo so was hoping to send a minion with an exact specification.

Still can't see a switch. Guess it must auto-select the hot input, which makes it harder to switch from X to Y for a quick check on something. I ought to work around that though, after all, I don't have my home PC to hand when I'm working on site :-)
