How to share a single LCD monitor between two computers?
Posted by: admin : Category: monitor computers
I got a LCD Monitor for X'mas and would like to connect it to two computers on my desk. Can I do that? How? Do I need extr a hardwares or softwares ?
Thanks.
If you are lucky your LCD had 2 video inputs that you can switch between using buttons on the display.
If not, go for a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse switch) and share all 3 desktop bits. You can get KVMs that handle sound or USB as well… for more money.
Dont forget you will need cables for your KVM as well unless you buy one with cables built in.

Go to your local computer store and pick up a KVM Switch which lets you have 2 computers sharing 1 Keyboard and 1 Mouse
