Viewing a connected computer’s screen (switching inputs)

Connect a computer to the display to present the computer's video output on the display. You can rename the input for easy identification (1). If an input supports touch interactions, the Touch enabled icon appears in the lower left (2).

The location of the ports and connection options for your device varies depending on the display you are using. Usually you will use an HDMI port for video and sound. If you want to enable touch, you'll need to also connect a USB cable from your computer to the appropriate USB Type-B port on the display. Alternatively, you can use a USB-C connection for audio, video, and touch.

Tip

Refer to the support page for your display for how to connect a computer to the display.
