[NAME]  What you should consider instead is a 2x1 HDMI switch. That’s a box that has two inputs and one HDMI output. You can connect your laptop and console to the inputs, and connect the output to your display’s single HDMI port. Then you just toggle which input you want to use at any given time on the switch box.
Hello all, I am trying to connect my Inspiron 15 3000 laptop to a Samsung G7 Odyssey monitor. My monitor has only 1 HDMI port which does recognise my laptop when connected. However, I want to use the HDMI port predominantly for PS5. So I bought a HDMI to Display Port cable thinking this would work as my Display Port(s) are redundant. However, this doesn't seem to recognise any signal or work. Am i missing something entirely or is not supported? I have had no luck with Dell support chat as they don't seem to understand the issue. Can someone advise? I thought I knew something about computers but clearly not!!!!   Also open to recommendations to navigate this.
