PASOW VGA 2 in 1 Out 2 Port VGA Switch Press Button Two Way VGA Vedio Switch for PC TV Monitor -Black

Very easy to set up and was just what I needed. Used it to hook a laptop and desktop to the same monitor.

Product simple to set up and does what it should

It's a fairly cheap solution and the build quality reflects that. You can really tell the quality of the product from the tactile feedback from their jank springs in the buttons. But it works seamlessly otherwise and for a quick budget solution it's solid enough.

I have an extra monitor that I use to extend the view of my desktop and work laptop. I bought this switch hoping to stop the (admittedly mild) annoyance of manually changing the connections on the back of the monitor.First round setup was promising - switch worked fine, but display settings needed to be reset. Did the reset to prior settings only to have the output from desktop connection turn into rotating colors which could not be corrected. Thankfully no permanent damage - just sending the switch back.

The switch would split the monitor but it would blur the displays. I thought something was wrong with the monitors, so I checked them both and they work. I checked the other cables and they are all fine. As soon as I plugged my monitors into this they blurred. I threw mine away.The seller contacted me and told me that the resolution has to be the same. After fishing this out of the trash, cleaning it off and hooking it up, changing the resolution helped significantly. Very impressed that the seller contacted me and helped me out. I am not very pleased with my purchase.

Perfect for connecting 2 computers to 1 monitor. I bought this after buying a new computer. This item is making it so much easier with setting up my new computer like my old one without completely copying my old hard drive.

I use this at work because I have a 3 monitor setup with my desktop but still occasionally have virtual meetings on my laptop. I was getting annoyed with un-hooking & re-hooking the VGA cable between the desktop vs laptop. This switch solved the problem where I can quickly go back & forth between the two (as needed).

Well, it works, sort of. Installation was easy, you just connect the wires. It's easy to use, you just push the buttons. What I don't understand is why I should have to adjust the resolution. I would have thought that this was just a "pass through" device that would simply break a connection and open another one. Apparently, I was mistaken. This device does something else to the signal from a give PC. When I plugged in my Dell monitor, my PC no longer recognized it and considered it to be a Generic monitor and at a much lower resolution than that which had been previously displayed. Apparently this device has, in effect, become the monitor and the PC acted accordingly. Plus, the display has become stretched and the icon on the screen are distorted and look funny. This has to have been the device, because when I removed the monitor from the device and reattached it to the PC, everything was back to normal. I can understand about modifying the resolution on each different PC. What I don't understand is why the PC believed the monitor was generic and the display from the device was so stretched and distorted. Oh well, like I said, it works and it's too cheap to bother returning.
