Ask HN: How to? Multiple monitors across house, exact same output
Fellow HNers,
I'm finding that with work from home, it helps to give myself a change of scenery by working in different parts of the house.
Whilst I could simply do this with my laptop, I much prefer working on large displays.
I have a wireless Lenovo keyboard (which has a built-in mouse trackpoint), and I'd like to place a large monitor in 3 separate areas of the house.
I also want to be able to walk around the house seamlessly and work on any of the displays - without having to plug/unplug anything.
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks! ^_^
- retrac 5y agoWhile wireless solutions have their pluses, ultimately the least aggravating setup in the long run is probably to run a wire. Consider an HDMI splitter + running HDMI cables to each location you want a display. Normal HDMI cables run up to about 10 metres but there are active cables that can do 100+ metres.
