Is it possible to use the DP output of the 1st monitor with the HDMI input of the 2nd monitor? No signal is recognised for me. I have connected the 1st monitor to my business notebook via USB-C, at the weekend I use my private computer, which I would connect to both via DP, by using DP = HDMI I would have the second DP port free and would not have to plug in each time.

Accepted Answer

"DP out" to "HDMI in" is not possible. For the MST function, "DP out" must be connected to "DP in" and the PC graphics card must support DP1.2 with MST option. This is described in the operating instructions for the monitor.
