Question Question on 32:9 displays - can you have 2 computers both showing?

[boed]

Hello,

I've never seen one in person but people ask me for advice on computers so I thought I'd find out. I know a few people who have 2 monitors. I know with the 32:9 like any other monitor you can open windows side by side, but that isn't the same as dragging something from one screen to another with 2 monitors. Are there any 32:9 ultrawide screens that let you have 2 computers / 2 inputs on simultaneously so you get the benefit of 2 monitors without the bezel in between?

Yes, also you can use software like fancy zones to setup multiple virtual screens.

The Samsung G9 allows you to to have to devices plugged in fo PiP.

I am curious, what is the (real world, not programs) application for needing two inputs displaying simultaneously on same monitor?

Just spitballing here, if one is not powerful enough for, say gaming, did you really only want to use part of the screen? If neither is heavily taxed, why have them both running? If you need a display for the 2nd system, and if it's windows, how about Windows Remote Desktop or whatever else the kool kids are running these days? I use remote desktop all the time and don't claim it's the best app out there but it does the job fine, except every now and then I get some bitmap disconnect error termination of session something.

I suppose I just don't understand what the problem is with bezels between two different monitors displaying things two different computers are doing, even less so if it takes a premium priced monitor to avoid the problem I don't appreciate??

I don't know what I would use it for either, but it is possible.

I occasionally use it for displaying my work laptop and my personal desktop at the same time, works really well but keep in mind you won't get high refresh rate so gaming is no bueno.
