Default Dual Monitors and KVM switch

Hello DUC:

Just a quick question. I am planning on doing a dual monitor set up with my studio. However, I have a second computer in the studio that I use for internet, word processing ect...

Is there any way that I can use one of the monitors from the recording computer in conjunction with the non-music computer utilizin a KVM (Keyboard/video/mouse) switch? I was wondering if anyone had done this with a dual monitor setup.

I have a buddy of mine who has a similar set up but only one monitor and he has a KVM that works just fine. I just wasn't sure if the Dual monitor set up would not work with a KVM.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, that'd be great.

Thanks a Ton - Scott

Usually a KVM is to use One monitor with multiple computers. Using PrtScrn you toggle from system to system using the same monitor/mouse/keyboard.
