Does anyone know if there is a device that let’s you combine two video inputs and then outputs one split screen view.
I’ve read some tvs have that feature but I don’t have the option on mine so maybe there is a separate device that can do it.
The goal is to be able to play split screen the games me and the wife used to play but from the couch now that we have a baby gaming at our desk isn’t really a thing anymore so I’m thinking split screen with xbox controllers would be nice

Hey just a quick question, and maybe its dumb, but how did you create such a clean URL for amazon like that?
Click the share button (little circle connected to two other little circles), click More, copy the huge text description, and the clean short link will be in there.

^ This!
Don’t know what OP used, butBitly can do that.
Wow perfect thank you
Surprisingly cheap too! Even if you want 4K!
Easier and cheaper to get a second screen.
A professional video switcher will do this but it’s way more with “DVE” but you’re probably looking at more cost than another TV.

Also allows you to position the monitors/TVs differently for competitive gaming.
is steam remote play an option?
Oh I’m not sure I’ve never looked into what that is
Moonlight is also a possible option. Heard good things
Switched to sunshine+moonlight from steam remote play. Works much better, especially on low end clients. And as a bonus you have full access, not just for steam.
Nice, never heard about Sunshine! How does that work? I have a Debian server with ok specs running for *Arr services, but no games on it. Is it just a middle man I can run on my server or do I need to have games installed on the server too?
OP:
Jokes aside, I think what you’re looking for is called a multiviewer. You want a 2x1 multiviewer to get a view like that, though it might be split vertically rather than horizontally.
Some monitors or TVs have a split screen function built in. There’s probably a box too somewhere.
Make sure the device you pick up has low latency. Not sure if you can find specs like that in the spec sheets. For watching video, latency is not an issue, but when gaming, you want as little time as possible to go by between you pressing a button and the thing showing up on the screen.
Get a card in pc1 that does video input. Connect the video output of pc2 into the video input of pc1. Now the video of pc2 will be in a window on the screen of pc1.
