Can 2 users use 1 PC on seperate displays?

[Grach3434]

Hello! I'd like to ask if anyone knows if I can hook up my pc to a monitor in one room and have it also hooked up to my hdtv next door so that I can play games on the monitor and my lass can watch Netflix etc. Is it possible to have access to both simultaneously with 2 separate mice? For example if she wants to use a wireless mouse to change a film will it affect my gaming and vice versa? Cheers for any help. I know I should probably be on the sofa watching Netflix too but Tomb Raider just came out!

There may be options there for using VM's but if your only intent is to give your TV some sorta streaming options, just buy a roku and make your life easy.

There are a few which aim to make it easier for end user to set it all up.
I myself have never tried them though so I cannot say if they are good or not.

so.. both could have their own keyboard/mouse tied to their own monitors. Costs and if it actually works are up in the air though but you can likely do more research on the if's after you know what to look for.

If you want it to have the capabilities of a computer, I'd also look at something like the Intel Nuc, or hell just build an entry model computer for the thing and use it as an HTPC.
