How to Connect 2 Computers to 1 Monitor




Do you want to share your resources by running 2 computers to 1 monitor? This is possible by buying small hardware devices and you can switch to any quickly. This system is advantageous when you have 2 computer pc and you dont want to use 2 monitors for them and save up the monitor space, you can use the available single monitor between the both.

Buy a KVM Switch [Keyboard, Video or Visual Display Unit, Mouse] which is a hardware device used for controlling multiple computers using single keyboard and mouse. I have a Laptop and a new PC with a Big Monitor and if i dont want to run both of these computers with 2 sets of keyboards and mouse then i need to buy a KVM Switch. There are switches on the device which can help you in changing the pc easily and save up your money because now you dont need to buy those dedicated keyboards and mouse for these computers.

There are no standard KVM Switches for any kind of configuration and you need to first note down all your requirements before searching for the right device. There are not many online websites which are selling these devices but you can find a lot of options at Newegg.com. Now you can Share the monitor, USB keyboard and mouse among two computers and get rid of those messed up cable wires.
