Most monitors have 2-3 inputs. Mine has a desktop, a laptop, and occasionally my phone attached to it, using HDMI, DP, and another DP / USB-C respectively.

Unless you switch really often and want subsecond switching time, three's no need to even use a KVM to switch the monitor.



Even at twice per day switching using monitor controls would drive me nuts. The buttons, the menu, the delays, blanking and disconnects. By then I already forgot why I was even switching


Most of the time the reason for a KVM is wanting to switch the monitor, mouse and keyboard, and possibly other devices (e.g. I want to use the same webcam that remains in the same position) at the same time.

Switching just the monitor isn't really the use case they address.
