genesis Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Hi I am going to connect 2 PCs with the below device and would like to have 2 monitors connected with a VGA splitter. Please can you let me know with this product I will be bale to extend my display. https://www.ebuyer.com/289864-aten-2-port-usb-inline-cabled-kvm-switch-cs22u Thanks and any suggestion will be great.
synaesthesia Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) No, because that's not how they work; single input, single output. More money for that sort of function: https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Port-Monitor-Switch-Audio/dp/B00310EES0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1526285742&sr=8-2&keywords=dual+monitor+kvm Edited May 14, 2018 by synaesthesia 1
genesis Posted May 14, 2018 Author Posted May 14, 2018 If it is possible , please let me know a product that can do this job. Connecting 2 PCs and extending the display.
Arthur Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Not seen any KVMs that handle multiple monitors. https://store.level1techs.com/products/kvm-switch-dual-monitor-model This KVM switch will let you use TWO monitors plus other USB peripherals like a keyboard and a mouse between up to four computers! With up to two monitors input per computer! 1
synaesthesia Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 7 minute gap since my post & edit yet people still saw my original post prior to finding the other product. No @genesis if you need function like that you'll need to pay for it. 1
Arthur Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Any cheaper products, please suggest The cheapest solution would be to connect remotely to the other PC via Remote Desktop. There wouldn't be any need for a KVM at all then. 1
sted Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 the cheapest solution might be 2 normal kvms one for each screen just dont plug a kb/mouse into the 2nd one. the exception to this MIGHT be if the pc and kvm have displayport as i believe this can support multiple screens on 1 cable but i might be wrong (i "think" thats how my old nuc is rated for 3 screens even though it only has 2 outputs (ignoring widi) 1
bossman Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 @genesis Is this of any use to you: https://www.inputdirector.com/ Its free... I use it across 3 screens and 3 computers.... Been using it for years.... 1
