Hi All,
Looking for help building a dual monitor setup that I can use for PC gaming as well as connecting my work laptop.
Given the intended dual usage of the hardware, I want to design a good system upfront that will let me fairly easily switch the monitors, keyboard, and mouse between them. This does not need to be a one-click solution per se, but I'd like to avoid unplugging and replugging multiple cables.
I intend to run 2 1080p 144hz monitors with a mid to high end GPU. These monitors have DP and HDMI inputs only and the gaming PC's GPU will have HDMI 2.0, DP1.4, and DVI-DL outputs. On the other side I'm using a Dell Precision 5510 laptop for work which has USB and HDMI. I have no special needs on the work/laptop other than connecting it to the other two monitors.
My two priorities then are:
1. Find a fairly easy way to switch the monitor, keyboard, mouse between the laptop and the
PC
2. Do 1 in a way that does not negatively impact the gaming capability of the PC, i.e. use a
display connector that caps at 60hz or something
Thanks!
