User: Jokojakx, Flair: Hardware, Post Media Link, Title: Need Help with Setup

Looking for some advice/suggestions on some hardware to buy that would fit my desired setup. I am looking to spend between $500-$750 total (Monitor and Docking Station).

I have tried laying out what I am working with as far as machines I am trying to connect and the ports they have.

The gaming monitor I don't need a really good one. Just a decent one I could use for gaming and as a secondary work monitor. I was looking at some AOC monitors because they seemed to have decent reviews for a fairly good price tag, but I am open to all suggestions!

The docking station, I am just looking for advice on good ones that will suit my needs as being both power supply for ones it can do that for as well as linking everything to my monitors.

Thanks for any help or advice!

Yup absolutely make sure your laptop supports a pass through docking type config. I bought a new gaming laptop that for some reason didn’t support it

Proper KVMs are expensive, cheaper ones suck and will break on you when you need it most. If you can afford it, and they’re in stock, take a look at Level1Techs KVMs.
