U3415W, auto switch between DP and HDMI connections
Hi
I have a new U3415W monitor.
- For work I use a HDMI connected from the U3415W to the laptop.
- For home I am using a Thunderbolt with DP connection to my computer
Each time I change computers (I am not using both at the same time), I have to open the Menu on the screen and switch over the connection. Is there any way to automate this?
With my previous screen U2917W, this wasn't an issue as the screen recognised the connection when I turned either the work or home pc on.
I do not want to use the Thunderbolt for both computers as I found that previously they kept failing and now only using one computer on it I haven't had any problems.
If there is a way to automate the detection, as with my previous monitor, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
@swamped207 helped me sort it out, so I can use shortcut keys to switch between pc's. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I have added a 'kudos' to his original post :>)
Cheers,

Tereza17,
Apologies, I did find this information from another forum user that will help you. You can install the DDM software and use it to switch Input Sources. See swamped207 replies here
