[Hidden-tech] setting up a computer to work off of two sets of monitors

[Reva Reck]

If this is a Windows PC, you can get a car which will support 2 monitors.
Some newer PCs are already equipped for dual monitors. Then it is simply a
display option whether the monitors show the same content or are treated as
being contiguous. I'm sure macs have a similar capacity, but don't know
about them.

Subject: [Hidden-tech] setting up a computer to work off of two sets of
monitors

 

Someone in our office has started using a standing desk.  While this is
working out quite well, this person would like to be able to switch back and
forth from a standing to a regular height sitting position, but we would
like to avoid the cost of an adjustable desk.

 

One possible solution is to have two sets of monitors (currently we use two
monitor setups), one at a high desk and one at a low desk.

 

Does anyone have any ideas of how to switch back and forth without redoing
the cables or switching computers to work at the other desk?  Some kind of
reverse KVM switch maybe?  A way to set up 4 monitors?

 

Or for that matter any other way to solve this problem?

 

Thanks

 

-Dan
