Hi, I now have this great screen, but what I haven't managed to do yet is switch between 2 PCs, the first one I connected with HDMI and the other one with Display Port. Does any owner have two PCs running on the same monitor? Which cable do you use? My colleague said it might be the cable.

I always select the input on the monitor and confirm with the tick, but the main PC always comes up.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you very much!

Accepted Answer

I have 1 PC and 2 laptops connected via HDMI/ DP/ mini DP, I have connected all inputs to the external control unit (buttons 1-3) and it works perfectly. What you have to bear in mind > you can only switch if the freshly selected source supplies an active signal, otherwise it jumps back again.

Answer

I have 2 PCs connected, one to the HDMI and my Macbook to the Display Port via Elgato Dicking Station. That actually works well so far.

I just have high quality cables. But I don't think that should be a problem as long as your cables aren't super old or broken.

Your data. Your choice.
