Hello [NAME]-Stan , you may want to install this Dell OSD Application as Dell On-Screen Display (OSD) will allows you to control the brightness bar, change the input source, and turn the screen on or off through the OSD button.
So long story simplified: I bought an Inspiron 27 7000 less than a year ago as an intermediate stage to a more powerful rig and with the intension of small system for little games or work documents that don't need intense graphics. And now I've gone through the trouble of getting a tower for my off time or if I want to do something particularly process intensive. The issue I am finding, is that the HDMI input doesn't seem to be working. Things I have tried:1. I tried simply plugging the HDMI input (naïve perhaps, but plug n' play is fairly common to try first as long as you don't break something plugging it in)2. I tried the HDMI output, I doubted it would work but felt it was within the possibility it was swapped.3. I tried with a tv with HDMI input to confirm the tower was outputting, and confirmed this. 4. I once again plugged the HDMI into the input and checked the online manual, with that I pressed the only other button on the exterior. The unlabeled one next to the power button. There was no change. 5. I connected the computers together via wifi, but the Inspiron seems to indicate there was a driver error after the restart it demanded. Thus does anyone have any other ideas to try? Or able to tell me where I went wrong (though not financially because I already know that).
Trying to make an Inspiron 27 7000 a convenient swappable monitor for 2 systems.
