Hello all!
I have a desktop PC with two monitors (HDMI connections). I will shortly be getting a work laptop and i wondered if there's a way of when using the laptop, to also use the two monitors - therefore giving 3 usable screens. I will sometimes want to use my desktop machine with just the two monitors. I don't want the hassle of changing cables every time i want to swap between PC and laptop. From what i can see online a HDMI switch is the way to go, but I'm not 100% sure! Do i need a switch with 2 inputs and 3 outputs? Or will 2 inputs/2 outputs be sufficient because when I'm using the laptop that screen will already be in use, and so just 2 outputs to the other 2 monitors is required?
Many thanks!
