Simple question- just picked one up today due to the awesome deals in the HD forum.
I see that it has digital and analog inputs- do these work in an A/B fashion for hooking up 2 computers? A button on the front that switches between then?

Thanks.

And if you are REALLY lucky like JBT you have a 2405fpw with

2xVGA, DVI, S-Video, and COMPONET!

Component inputs on the 2405 makes sense.

COMPOSITE input on the 2005 does not.

I mean this is the year 2005, I can't even fathom anyone still owning any video hardware w/o at least a S-video output.

I still have lot of older hardware with composite as probably lot of people. Video cameras, VCRs, video game systems, etc. I still play my Sega Saturn through composite. That said I wish it had component but it still has Svideo along with VGA and DVI so it's not a huge deal to me.

Actually it only has one VGA not two.
