Hi everyone,

At the moment, I have 1 screen and my pc + ps4 connected to it, but everytime I use both, i have to switch between the screens all the time.
Is there a cheap solution to connect 2 systems to 2 screens and don't have to switch any cables etc.

Please help me out :)

Well, the PS4 can't run dual screens, so really all you'd be doing is disabling one PC screen and making it a PS4 screen.

To that all you'd need is a monitor with two+ video inputs, 1 HDMI for the PS4 and 1 well, DVI/VGA/HDMI/DisplayPort for whatever other video outputs your PC has.

Like this one is a good starting point: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MZYXsY/asus-monitor-vs228hp

Once hooked up, all you'd have to do is switch inputs/sources on the monitor, which is only pressing a button a few times.

Also maybe checkout PS4 remote play if both your PC and PS4 are on wired connections: https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/lang/en/index.html
