I want to buy a 27" widescreen to add to my setup for playing games that are not TH2G.

I need a switch that i can go from the TH2G setup to the 27". Connected to the same computer.

Any suggestion on my best bet??

For one reason or another I can't seem to locate one myself. I assume you are looking for a simple A-B switch. One with DVI connections. I did find one from overseas:

There are others out there but the cost is usually insane. KVMs are an otion but there again one with the res you may want is still pretty expensive.

Let me know if you happen to find any. I know I have a few uses for some.

That not what is needed, nor will a KVM work... thats for 2 computers 1 monitor.

I need 1 computer switching between 2 monitors (kinda), you have to consider the 3monitors on the TH2G as one monitor

So hook up all the monitors and enable and disable them in the control panel. Since your only using one at a time that would work fine right? BTW you already have control panel so its free!

If you have a video card with 2 outputs, could you not have the DTH2G on one and the 27" on the other? Then use display seting program in Windows to nominate which is your primary display.

That may actually be possible now with the new 180 drivers...

can swapping primary monitors and focusing the SLi be hot swapped?
