August 18, 20214 yr Commercial Member I've lately wondered about this but have not really researched but thought I would ask here first. I currently have three 27" 1080 displays (three across), that I can switch among two PCs depending on my needs. I've see some of those large, stretched displays which got me thinking... is it possible to have a single display split its screen to show both PCs on it at the same time? Clutch Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!) Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11), EVGA 1300W PSUNetgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displaysFull array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.
August 20, 20214 yr You can plug your 2 PCs into the one monitor but whether you can display both PCs output on the same monitor side by side depends I think on whether your monitor supports it. I'm not an expert on this but it seems like it's something just newer ultrawides can do. You'd have to Google the monitor brand to check probably.
September 13, 20214 yr This ('side-by-side') is a common feature (as a PiP option). For example, it is included on my new monitor (Acer EB321HQUC) but I also have a little dongle that will combine two HDMI signals onto any monitor. On most monitors this obviously can't show two 16:9 sources into a full-screen picture, but presumably an ultrawide would work better.
