discussion How to connect a work laptop, personal use desktop PC and two monitors ??

[Chess Gator]

Hi fellows,

What is the best way to connect a work laptop, personal use desktop PC with two monitors?

I want to be able to seamlessly switch between using the work laptop and my PC without unplugging and replugging any connections!

Should I use a KVM, docking station or something else? In addition, which type? A link to the item(s) you recommend would be appreciated.

Please no cheap discount stuff only top of the line equipment!

Thank you in advance,

CG

Assuming your laptop can use a docking station then a KVM. If not you could always use remote access software and have the PC on one screen and the laptop in the other.

Hi fellows,

What do you think of this KVM for my situation ?

Do they make one with USBC?

What connection are you using on your monitors? Displayport, HDMI or a combination? The one you've linked has one DP and one HDMI out with the HDMI limited to 60 hz, I'd be trying to just use 2x DP personally.
