I bought two of these monitors as they seem to support daisy chaining. However, I have now tried almost everything, but simply cannot connect the monitors to each other.
I want Laptop --- USB-C --- Monitor 1 --- ?? --- Monitor 2
I've tried everything between the two monitors (display port (1.2), USB C, HDMI) and nothing works. Now I always have to connect two USB-C cables to the laptop.
Can anyone tell me how I can manage to connect the monitors to each other, which is the point of daisy chaining. I don't want to buy an expensive hub, that's what daisy chain technology should be for if it's already built in.
Do I need to change anything in the settings?
The daisy chain connection with these monitors only works via USB-C, not via DisplayPort or HDMI. You have to connect the laptop to monitor 1 via USB-C and then connect monitor 1 to monitor 2 via DisplayPort Out (DP 1.2). HDMI does not work for daisy chain. In addition, MST (Multi-Stream Transport) must be activated in the settings of monitor 1 so that the signal is forwarded to the second monitor. USB-C is therefore mandatory for the first connection and DisplayPort cable is used between the monitors.
To summarise: - Laptop → USB-C → Monitor 1 - Monitor 1 (DisplayPort Out) → DisplayPort In → Monitor 2 - Activate MST in monitor 1 - HDMI or USB-C between monitor 1 and 2 does not work for daisy chain
If you currently have to connect two USB-C cables to your laptop, this is because you have not connected the monitors correctly via daisy chain. An expensive hub is not absolutely necessary if the connection via USB-C and DisplayPort is set up correctly.
