Can you switch the output from DVI to HDMI. I will be connecting my laptop/dock to DVI and my desktop to HDMI...will it let me switch between two?

It does have an auto-source selection, so it will automatically look for something from each source and then show which ever device is sending to the screen. You can also just manually choose it from the on-screen menu when using the buttons on the bottom near the blue power light.

Yes, you can press the buttons on the monitor to change to which port you want the monitor to accept input. For example, you are using HDMI for the desktop and you configure HDMI as the default input. When you need it for the laptop, you will need to select DVI input manually using the monitor front panel buttons so it will switch to DVI. I am not sure about auto detection and auto switch though.

the PC I'm using has DVI and HDMI outputs but, I only used DVI. It still is a digital signal. I will have to try HDMI out with a converter. I also used mini display port out of a macbook pro both vga and DVI.

You can connect this device to your PC HDMI output convert it to VGA output if thats what you want to do.However please check if your graphic card output do support outputting VGA and HDMI signal at the same time.

Hi, I took a gamble when I bought this switch and I currently have it connected similar to what you asked, monitor connected to input 1 (DVI-Female to HDMI Male adapter), lcd-tv connected to input 2, and PC connected to the output (DVI-Male to HDMI adapter). It is working fine in this manner. Hope that helps.

I connect the HDMI output on my computer to the J-Tech and send one output to my receiver and the other to my TV. Works for me. Switch back and forth generally w/o any problems. Very rarely I have to reset the switch by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cord from my computer. The HDMI output on my computer does not transmit sound, so I can't comment on this aspect. I use the computers' coax and optical outputs for audio.

I don't know, I threw my cable away because it shorted out my last lap top, which may have been my fault. I used the HDMI hook-up on my then lap top and used the VGA hook up to my TV and it killed my lap top, which would have been more to fix it then buying a new one. I do know, that HDMI is an output always.

Just adding to my previous comment, there will be no audio onto your monitor regardless it works or not. HDMI to DVI will only transfer video.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

DVI video port gives you digital signal capable of 2560x1200 or higher resolution. What else HD do you need? HDMI? Most likely you can use DVI-&gt;HDMI dongle

Right next to the power button, there's a button dedicated to switching between HDMI, VGA, and DVI. Hope this helps.

hello Brucethe only way to use this with one computer having a Display port is if you get an adaptor that will convert to DVI.. as those are the two only inlets for this switch box, DVI and VGA... you could do search for display port converters and you will get a wealth options that you can use with this switch box..

No, it does not have an HDMI output, but it has VGA, USB & DVI outputs. You can get an adapter cord with HDMI at one end & either VGA or DVI at the other end for just a few dollars. Personally, I recommend the DVI adapter cord. I believe it handles more data flow to external hardware.

Hi Zod,Yep, it does. I just plugged the DVI port into one monitor and the HDMI into another and my desktop is extended beautifully across both.It seems to default to the DVI as the primary.Hope that helps.

It Supports 2 monitors at one time. HDMI + VGA or HDMI + DVI or DVI + VGA. Also the DVI out is only DIV-I so it cannot be split with a DVI-D to DVI-I + VGA cable. I have tested it and it will work with VGA + 1 digital output.

there is a VGA, DVI and HDMI port in this desktop. I have a monitor with VGA, DVI, and HDMI port. It works good with VGA port, I have not tried DVI port, I tried HDMI port but that did not work.

No. It only work's from DVI to HDMI. I thought the same thing as u. Wouldn't do that so I sent it back.

Yes. You can use up to three different inputs on this monitor. I currently am using both the HDMI and DVI ports.
