I have a two monitor set up going right now hooked up to a dual display KVM switch. Sadly, a recent power outage has caused some finicky behavior in either my KVM or my secondary monitor, since it comes in and out. Will get around to debugging my setup once I have some time this holiday season, but I was also debating on switching to a single ultrawide monitor setup. I’m a software engineer by trade, and I get the most use out of the second monitor while working. However, when I’m doing literally anything else, the second monitor just tends to be Spotify, discord, or some background video or podcast.
What’s your preference? Anyone switch from one to the other? How do you use your setup?
I had a similar issue with a quality KVM I bought during the pandemic. At the time the issue causing it was having high refresh rates on both monitors I was using… Turning down them down to 60hz fixed the issue but was a deal breaker for me so I just moved on. If you don’t care about 60hz that may fix the issue.
Support said it was a throughput / bandwith issue with their internals not supporting two 144hz screens.
Hope this gives a clue to what may be wrong with yours. (Was on 3440x1440 and a standard 1440p monitor at the time)
