Hello everyone,
my first post here. Today I stumbled upon an interesting display puzzle, so I came here to share. The owner has three displays connected to his PC. He also uses a MAC for work. He wants to be able to switch between the inputs from the PC and MAC to all three displays, but he wants to keep his first display running at 144 Hz. I don't know the exact models.
1) 1080p, 144 Hz, DisplayPort or DVI-D
2) 1080p, HDMI
3) 1080p, HDMI
His PC uses DVI-D for the first display, there's also a free DP. The Mac has DP and USB type C. He stated that he doesn't want to use too many dongles or reductions. Is there a way?
PS: I thought of something like this with a KVM/switch in the middle.
But as I'm not using a multi-display setup, I'm not sure if this would work, or if there are any KVMs with both DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. Even with this, he'd have to use a KVM with 3 or more DP outputs and use DP->HDMI reduction for his two HDMI displays.
