1 Monitor for 2 PCs?

WeNeedToTalk · 05-07-2009, 10:06 AM

Hi guys,

I'm wanting to have 2 computers on at the same time, and be able to switch between either computer's video output with the click of a button. I'm wondering if there's a cable that can do this? But I also need a long cable so that it can reach both PCs and the monitor because they aren't too close together, so it will need some length on the cable.

Thanks

You should look into KVM switches.. they are designed to have one monitor and keyboard and mouse for multiple systems.
