How to Set Up Dual Monitors with a KVM Switch?

Asked by CuriousSky9
Hey everyone! I'm having some trouble with my dual monitor setup while using a KVM switch to connect my work laptop and my PC. I've been using this KVM switch for a while without any issues, but now that I want to connect both monitors to my PC, I can't get the secondary monitor to show up. Currently, my primary monitor connects via HDMI and the secondary via DisplayPort. I only want the second monitor to be connected to my PC directly, not to my work setup. Any tips on how to make this work?

How much did your KVM switch cost? Just curious because I've had a good experience with LevelOneTech brand KVMs.

CuriousSky9: It was around ยฃ25, and it does a great job for my work needs! But I'm puzzled why my second monitor isn't recognized โ€” could it be that itโ€™s not included in the KVM setup?
