Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any monitors out there that have the ability to tile inputs from different computers onto the same computer screen. I.e., hook up 4 computers to 1 monitor and tile the output of each monitor to a quadrant of the 30" monitor. The reason I am looking to do this is to be able to maximize performance and yet decrease the amount of desk real estate necessary to run a 10 man group.

If not, I guess I could just do the standard Keyclone thing on a robust rig.

I researched that a while back, and it's not anywhere within financial sanity to spend that much on a setup that supports what you're talking about.

Im not aware of anything that will let you do that other than something like this.

But as you can see its a bit unrealistic on the price. You might find a similar product w/o as many bells and whistles for cheaper.
Im not sure how many boxes you are running. At least 4 from the sound of it. If you dont mind not seeing all 10 clients then your best bet would be to get a good KVM.

Something like that maybe.
