I just bought two Samsung CF397 monitors. They each have 1 HDMI & 1 Displayport. I need to be able to switch between my work laptop's docking station (1 VGA and 1 HDMI or Displayport toggle) and my home PC using the input functions on the monitor. My home computer is a laptop with 1 HDMI port, so I'll need to get a docking station I assume.
I need to be able to have 1 monitor up for each or both for one or the other at any point in time. For this reason, I don't think a KVM switch will work.
Are there any number of contraptions, converters, docking stations, switches, etc. that can do this? I don't care which computer is plugged into which monitor inputs as long as I can switch
them back and forth individually as needed.
Right now, I have my work computer going from display port > display port monitor and VGA > HDMI converter > HDMI monitor so both screens work. I need to somehow figure out how to finish the setup.
Sorry if this sounds all complicated but I need help
