use one second monitor for two computers
0
I have two computers, A and B, and one keyboard and mouse and monitor connected through a KVM switch to both. I also have a second monitor connected separately to A.
What is the best way to connect this second monitor to both computers?

There are not very many solutions. The options I see are:
- Get a KVM that can share two monitors.
- Get a second KVM for the additional monitor.
