use one second monitor for two computers












0














I have two computers, A and B, and one keyboard and mouse and monitor connected through a KVM switch to both. I also have a second monitor connected separately to A.



What is the best way to connect this second monitor to both computers?

  • Are CPU A and CPU B on the same motherboard? Are they synonyms for PCs? Please edit your question to include more detail as there is not enough information fo form a proper answer.

There are not very many solutions. The options I see are:




  1. Get a KVM that can share two monitors.

  2. Get a second KVM for the additional monitor.
