Another possibility is an SVGA switch. Many are available at $15 or so, some
of them attractive enough for the desktop.
I use a single Dell 19”, using a SVGA cable to the DB15 on the switch box, one
input from the SVGA output of the P3 and the other through an Apple cable from
the thunderbolt output of the computer. (I assume on a PC you could use a
USB-to-SVGA converter.) I was unable to find a monitor I liked that had
built-in front-panel switching. The switch box works beautifully, and doesn’t
result in pushing the monitor around when the input is switched.
It does add one more cable to the collection. But in my station, one more
isn’t even a rounding digit.

Hi Doug,

Consider getting a monitor that can also serve as a second monitor for your
PC. Most monitors today have multiple inputs. A few years ago that would
have been SVGA and DVI. Later it became SVGA and HDMI. Now you might also
find SVGA, DVI, and HDMI. But that's not the whole story. You want to make
sure that you can change the monitor with a push-button at the bottom of the
monitor. Some monitors require that you go into the monitor program
settings. That would be much less convenient.
