Hello, I would like to utilize a KVM for two PCs with one large monitor and DisplayFusion. I was wondering if it would be possible to split the monitor into 4 with one quadrant for one PC, and using the other three quads for the other PC. Hopefully, this makes sense. Thank you for your help! Cheryl

Thanks for checking out DisplayFusion! Unfortunately it wouldn't be able to do that. DisplayFusion can only split the monitor on the local machine.

Sorry!

I know this is a very old post but I found it near the top on one of my google searches, so I figure this might be useful if someone else stumbles in here too. There's 2 options I can think of that would be able to do this. 1- run DisplayFusion like normal on your one pc, dividing your screen however you like. Then, remote desktop into the second PC, and maximize the remote session window to whatever quadrant you want. 2- Find a monitor that can run two inputs simultanously, and has Picture-In-Picture or Picture-By-Picture. Usually this is only available on ultrawide monitors. This would be handled entirely by the monitor and its software/firmware/drivers (not really sure) and Display Fusion wouldn't know anything about the other PC (you could still install DF on both computers though), but it should still be able to achieve what you're trying to do.

Of the two options, I'd definitely go with #1. Win 10 personal no longer includes free remote desktop (Professional only), but there are free 3rd party programs out there. Also, unless you need it for other reasons, remote desktop should be able to let you ditch the KVM all together.
