A bit of a random question i know but I am struggling to find an answer.

Do any of the current crop of monitors that have more than 1 input type such as DVI and HDMI allow both to be connected and chosen between by the user as in input selection.

I know this could be achieved with a KVM but I am never going to need to switch live between systems and i have multiple screens. I want to have the docking station for my work laptop connect to one port and my home pc rig connected to the other with the ability to use one of the other but not simultaneously.

May not be possible but thought this was probably a good place to ask as if someone has done it they will be on here.

Every multi-input monitor I've ever owned has allowed input switching and automatic detection of the currently active port(s).

I've had some monitors with a nice dedicated button on the front for switching and others where it was hidden down in the setup menus. If you're only having one system powered at a time automatic input selection should handle it.
