Single Monitor - Multiple displays

[Majorpayne]

Hello all, 

 

I hope that the title did not confuse anyone. I need some help. I think i remember a video where linus had multiple PC's hooked up to a single monitor and each of them owned a portion of the screen. My issue is that I'm a gamer and I currently run 144hz but I also work from home. I'm currently using 2 monitor I'd like to drop down to a single monitor and when I'm at home I can have my right side of the screen be my personal PC and the Left side of the screen be my laptop hooked up via a dock. anyone guide me?

It was a feature of the specific monitor being used

You're looking for a feature called Picture-by-Picture (PbP)

Can't be done through software if that's what you're asking but there are boxes that split the signal like that, what Linus had was implemented into the monitor itself.

Here's an example:

No clue if you can find any cheaper or if this is good and I also don't know if this introduces latency, something to keep in mind

Here's also an alternative to splitting a screen, Window management:
