    I have an Apple Mac Mini A1347 MD388LL/A Desktop PC w/Core i7-3720QM 2.6GHz 16GB 1TB HDD
    and an Apple Mac Studio.
    I want to use one display to operate with each computer.

    ie I want to be able to switch between the two computers but
    use one of the displays below.
    Which ever display will work.
    I wold like to be able to use my ethernet connected printer with
    both computers.
    I have two displays but I only want to use one.
    1) Apple Thunderbolt Display 27"
    2) A1082 23" Cinema HD Display Monitor
    Thanks for you help.

    Dear Dr.Smog's®,

    Thanks for your response.

    Based on the link you sent us, it appears your Mac-Mini has an HDMI video port.

    We still need you to please tell us the following:
    1) What type of video connectors (e.g. HDMI; DisplayPort; DVI; VGA) does your Apple Mac Studio computer have?
    2) What type of video connectors (e.g. HDMI; DisplayPort; DVI; VGA) do the two of your displays have?

    Awaiting your response.
