Question about BenQ PD3220U

Hello Community Has anyone tried connecting two laptops via USB-C to this monitor (i.e. for me MacBook via 1st USB-C with the 85 Watt and HP notebook via 2nd USB-C with the 15 Watt connection and additional charger)? I can't find any other monitor that can do this (I don't want to use the Displayport / HDMI and USB-A upstream).

Winzilla, I use the monitor with 2 laptops: 1x Lenovo (via USB-C to docking station which is connected to power) and 1x Macbook Pro M1. The Macbook is connected via USB-C and is also powered by the monitor. I can switch between the two laptops using the rotary wheel supplied. Both devices run in parallel. I also have an iphone wireless charging station connected to the monitor to charge my phone. Hope it helps. Sorry I'm not a techie...

Thank you for your quick answers, really ingenious. This means that I can only solve this by connecting the second laptop via Displayport or HDMI and an additional USB cable for the KVM switch integrated in the screen. Too bad, but then I'll have to wait until the technology is ready (there's really nothing on the market that would be helpful).

Unfortunately, you cannot change the input if you have two devices connected. I also use two devices (laptop and desktop). However, because only the first active device can use the display, I have to switch off or unplug the active device when I want to use the other device on the screen.
