Splitting a Television Screen into 2 Displays (from 2 sources)

[Simplexity]

Me and my friends are having somewhat of a small gaming party this weekend, but there are four of us and only two laptops. I was wondering if there was a way to hook up both of our laptops to the television for the other two to see what is going on on both screens without much effort. This is a fairly wacky question and I don't think this can work, but you never know.

Not really clear on what you are trying to do, but it sounds like you are trying to get 2 differing displays out of 1 computer?

It is possible to have 2 monitors (with great difficulty - as I am currently finding), but you won't be able to do something like multiplayer gaming on 1 computer with 2 players using 2 monitors.

But hey, there's always a deck of cards - or everyone's favourite, monopoly...

The simple answer is NO, you can not have two laptops going into 1 TV with a split screen.
