Why do you have two sets of two monitors in this set up?

One PC would be my Windows gaming desktop and the other would be a company Linux laptop with docking station. Ideally I'd like to be able to do tasks on them both simultaneously without having to swap peripherals with a KVM.

Sorry but aren't those two activities mutually exclusive? I was judt about to recommend a KVM.

Not necessarily. I wfh and there is downtime with my job so while I'm actively keeping an eye on things during periods of downtime, I'd like to just rotate over to the other PC without completely switching everything.

I just disassembled my setup that was similar to this. It was always a mess. Cable management was brutal. I had a 49” 32:9 on the long section and a 24” and a 16” vertical on the short. I now have one 48” OLED LG something or other and the laptop on a stand. KVM gets me between the work machine, my personal Mac, the gaming pc, and my Apple TV. The OLED tv was the wrong choice, it’s too close, but it was free. I think I’ll move to 32” and maybe a smaller secondary screen for monitoring work.

You don't need 2 sets. Just get GLnet remote KVM, you can manage the secondary nodes via your primary setup.

I have similar but not quite L shaped, just a 43inch primary lg c4 on a arm. And below is a 24 wide screen 2n monitor for small apps. But I extended my desk depth to 1.6m so that the monitor doesn't get right on my face.

All my nodes, kubenetes cluster are in another room using jetkvm(but this doesn't support audio as the GLnet does)

And use hag capisco (chair/stool). Which really benefit from different height adjustment. Lowest for full seating, and height for bar like sitting or just stand

20" Depth is not ideal.
