Yes, laptop is through DVI.  And well... the adapter may fix it, but  
I bought this specific monitor because it had two inputs and thus  
could have the two devices connected at once.  External DVI switches  
are too expensive, so this is not an option because I don't want to  
keep messing with cables.

OK.  I've sent a support request to BenQ and see if they can provide  
me a solution.

Thank you very much.
