I have my desktop Mac G4 Dual 1.25 PowerPC VGA output connected to the DVI-D input on a Samsung T260HD Monitor/TV (a wonderful combination!).
I want to connect a Mac Mini to the Monitor/TV using the HDMI ports. If both computers are connected to the Monitor/TV, will this work? Don

Not familiar with the specific display, but it should be fine. Presumably it has an input selector that lets you choose which port it will show signals from.

This will work. All you need to do is switch the Samsung Input from VGA ( Computer) to HDMI and vice versa.
