using more than one PC with one screen

I have 2 computers that I want to use at the same time with my screen, doing some research I found that the best solution is to use the KVM switch.

"Well for example most Samsung Monitors with HDMI and VGA connectors have a source button where you can switch between the two signals. Using both is no problem at all.
For using only one keyboard and mouse you might want to install Synergy on both PCs which lets you share that hardware via the network.

Alternatively you can try a VNC solution. The drawback there is that you might probably lose graphics performance with the remote controlled PC.

Check out this question as well."
