今天，每家每户都有两台或更多台电脑，用于工作、学习、玩游戏、上网等。早先，软件开发人员不确定他们是否能够在每个屋檐下都安装一台电脑。世界。今天，它们出现在每个家庭、学校、办公室，如时钟或电视。许多人拥有多台计算机，每台计算机供个人使用和工作相关。如果您有多台计算机并希望在单个显示器上访问它们，这里是“如何将两台或多台计算机连接到一个显示器”(“How to Connect two or more Computers to one Monitor”)。
无论这些计算机是放在同一张桌子上还是安装在不同的房间里，它们仍然可以通过一个鼠标、键盘和显示器进行访问。这取决于计算机的类型和配置。
如何将两台电脑连接到一台显示器？(How to Connect Two Computers to One Monitor?)
这是一个指南，其中包含多种方法，可帮助您将两台或多台计算机连接到一台显示器。
方法 1：使用多个端口 (Method 1: Using Multiple Ports )
就像智能电视(TVs)一样，显示器也带有多个输入端口。例如，典型的显示器上安装了两个HDMI或DisplayPort插座。一些显示器具有VGA、DVI和HDMI端口。这些可能会因您的显示器型号而异。
要将一台或多台计算机连接到一台显示器，您可以访问显示器的内部菜单，然后更改其输入。
优点：(Pros:)
- 如果兼容，您可以使用家中已有的显示器。
- 这是一种简单有效的方法，可以快速建立连接。
缺点：(Cons:)
- 对于这种方法，您可能需要购买具有多个输入端口的新显示器。
- 主要缺点是，您将需要单独的输入设备（键盘和鼠标）来访问两台不同的计算机（或）您每次访问单独的计算机时都必须插入和拔出输入设备。如果其中一个系统很少运行，则此方法将很有效。否则，只会很麻烦。
- 只有超宽显示器才能显示两台计算机的完整视图。除非您拥有一台，否则不建议花钱购买输入设备。

方法二：使用 KVM 切换器(Method 2: Using KVM Switches)
KVM 可以扩展为键盘、视频和鼠标。(KVM can be expanded as Keyboard, Video, and Mouse.)
使用硬件 KVM 切换器(Using Hardware KVM Switches)
当今市场上有各种不同价格的KVM切换器，它们提供独特的功能。
- 您可以使用硬件KVM切换器连接多台计算机以接受来自它们的输入。
- 然后它将其输出发送到单个监视器。
注意：(Note:)基本的 2 端口 VGA 型号(2-port VGA model)售价 20 美元，而带有附加功能的4K 4 端口设备售价(4K 4-port unit)数百美元。
优点：(Pros:)
缺点：(Cons:)
- 所有计算机和硬件KVM(KVM)切换器之间必须有物理连接。
- 整个连接设置所需的电缆长度增加了，从而增加了预算。
- 与标准的传统交换机相比， KVM(KVM)交换机有点慢。在系统之间切换可能需要几秒钟，这可能很不方便。
使用软件 KVM 切换器(Using Software KVM Switches)
它是一种将两台或多台计算机与主计算机的输入设备连接起来的软件解决方案。这些KVM切换器无法直接帮助您将两台或多台计算机连接到一台显示器。但是，可以使用它们和硬件KVM(KVMs)以兼容的方式管理此类连接。
以下是这些软件包的一些示例：
缺点：(Cons:)
- 软件KVM切换器的性能不如硬件KVM切换器。
- 每台计算机都需要单独的输入设备，并且所有计算机都必须在同一个房间内。

方法 3：使用远程桌面解决方案(Method 3: Using Remote Desktop Solutions)
如果您不想实现上述方法或不愿意为硬件/软件KVM切换器掏腰包，那么远程桌面客户端和服务器应用程序将是最好的选择。(remote desktop client & server application would work best.)
1.在您所在的系统上运行(Run)客户端应用程序。(client app)
2.在另一台计算机上运行(Run)服务器应用程序。(server app)
3.客户端系统(client system)将第二个系统的屏幕显示为一个窗口。您可以根据自己的方便随时最大化或最小化它。
注意：(Note:)如果您正在寻找好的选择，您可以免费下载VNC 查看器(VNC Viewer) 和 Chrome 远程桌面(Chrome Remote Desktop) ！
优点：(Pros:)
- 使用这种方法，您可以使用以太网(Ethernet)电缆直接连接两台计算机。
- 您可以借助此连接启用软件程序。
- 此方法快速且兼容。
缺点：(Cons:)
- 如果没有网络连接，您将无法控制其他机器。网络连接问题(Network connectivity issues)会导致性能不佳以及音频和视频文件延迟。

How to Connect two or more Computers to one Monitor
Today, every house has two or more computers which they use to work, to study, to enjoy games, to web-surf, etc. Earlier, softwаre developers were not sure that they would be ablе to bring a computer under every rоof around the world. Today, they are present in every homе, school, offices like a clock оr а televiѕion. Many people own multiрle computers, one each for their perѕonal use and work-relаted. If you have multiple computers and want to aсcess them on a single monitor, here is “How to Connect two or more Computers to one Monitor”.
Whether these computers are kept on the same desk or mounted in different rooms, they can still be accessed with a single mouse, keyboard, and monitor. It would depend on the type and configuration of the computers.
How to Connect Two Computers to One Monitor?
Here is a guide featuring several methods that will help you connect two or more computers to one monitor.
Method 1: Using Multiple Ports
Just like smart TVs, monitors also come with multiple input ports. For example, a typical monitor has two HDMI or DisplayPort sockets mounted on them. Some monitors have VGA, DVI, and HDMI ports. These may vary according to the model of your monitor.
To connect one or more computers to one monitor, you can access the internal menu of the monitor then change its input.
Pros:
- You can use the monitor that is already present in your home if it’s compatible.
- It is a simple and effective method where connection can be established quickly.
Cons:
- For this method, you may need to buy a new monitor with multiple input ports.
- The main drawback is, you will require individual input devices (keyboard and mouse) to access two different computers (OR) You have to plug and unplug the input devices every time you access an individual computer. If one of the systems is rarely operated, this method will work well. Otherwise, it will just be a hassle.
- Only an ultrawide monitor can display the complete view of two computers. Unless you own one, it is not recommended to spend on buying input devices.

Method 2: Using KVM Switches
KVM can be expanded as Keyboard, Video, and Mouse.
Using Hardware KVM Switches
A variety of KVM switches are available at different rates in the market today that offer unique features.
- You can connect several computers using a hardware KVM switch to accept inputs from them.
- It would then send its output to a single monitor.
Note: A basic 2-port VGA model is available for 20 dollars, whereas a 4K 4-port unit with additional features is available for hundreds of dollars.
Pros:
- They are easy and straightforward to use.
Cons:
- There must be a physical connection between all the computers and the hardware KVM switch.
- The cable length required for the entire connection set-up is increased, thereby increasing the budget.
- KVM switches are a bit slow compared to standard conventional switches. It might take few seconds to switch between systems, which may be inconvenient.
Using Software KVM Switches
It is a software solution to connect two or more computers with the input devices of the primary computer. These KVM switches cannot directly help you connect two or more computers to a single monitor. However, they can be employed and the hardware KVMs to manage such connections in a compatible manner.
Here are some examples of these software packages:
-
Synergy (It is available for a one-time purchase)
-
ShareMouse (It is available free for personal use)
-
Input Director (It is available free for personal use)
-
Microsoft Garage Mouse Without Borders (It is available for no charges)
-
Stardock Multiplicity (It comes with a 30-days free trial. Despite the fact that this software is paid, it withholds a lot of additional features. E.g., it has the ability to connect the computers that are far away in the distance at a low cost.
Cons:
- The performance of software KVM switches is not as exact as hardware KVM switches.
- Every computer needs individual input devices, and all the computers must be present in the same room.

Method 3: Using Remote Desktop Solutions
If you do not want to implement the above-mentioned methods or are unwilling to shell out for hardware/software KVM switch, then remote desktop client & server application would work best.
1. Run the client app on the system where you have been seated.
2. Run the server app on the other computer.
3. The client system will display the screen of the second system as a window. You can maximize or minimize it at any time, according to your convenience.
Note: If you are looking for good options, you can download VNC Viewer and Chrome Remote Desktop for free!
Pros:
- Using this method, you can connect two computers straight away using an Ethernet cable.
- You can enable software programs with the help of this connection.
- This method is speedy and compatible.
Cons:
- You cannot control other machines without a network connection. Network connectivity issues lead to poor performance along with lag in audio and video files.
