Hello,
Sorry to repost this but I noticed anytime there is a thread with a "Answer this" button it never gets answered and I don't know how to open that thread up to discussion... sorry about that...

Anyway..

Here at work I have to PCs that have Dual Monitors.

So that's 2 PCs and 4 monitors.

I will be moving to a different office soon and the desk space is a bit smaller than my current one. So I would like to have both PCs share one set of monitors.

So that would be 2 PCs and two monitors total.

I have heard of KVM switches before but have never used one personally and in my searching have seen a lot of different kinds with a lot of different configurations with large swings in pricing (some are as cheap as $89 and some as expensive as 1k)

Both PCs are connected to their monitors currently through graphics cards.

The graphics card each have two display ports and one DVI-D port.

On each computer, One monitor is Hooked up using the Display port and the second using the the DVI-D port. The second Display port is not being used currently.

Do you guys know what kvm options I have out there?

Thank you very much :)
