Hello,
I bought 2 U2414H Monitors and trying to get them setup as dual monitors with my systems.
This is how I have it setup in daisy chain mode:
Monitor 1 - DP 1.2 enabled
Monitor 2 - DP 1.2 Disabled
Monitor 1 DP Out via 1.2a cable to Monitor 2 DP In.
1. My HP 840 G1 Laptop is connected via DP 1.2a cable to Monitor 1 DP In, everything works fine. I'm able to use extended desktop without any issues.
2. Same setup above does not work when I use Dell supplied Mini DP cable to connect my XPS 12 9Q23 (2013) to Monitor 1 DP In. My laptop only recognizes it as single Monitor and both monitors show the same screen. Is there any way I could use both monitors in daisy chain mode using the mini-DP on XPS 12? Could it be that Dell cable is not 1.2?
Regardless of my current setup - what would be the way to connect XPS 12 via mini DP to two 1080P U2414H monitors?
3. My another computer Dell Latitude E5430 has HDMI Out, USB 3.0 and VGA out. But U2414H only supports HDMI out of those. How can I correctly configure it to have extended dual monitor setup with my monitors?
Is there any universal device I could get which could be useful for both XPS 12 and E5430 and modern enough for future use?
Please advice. Thank you for any help!
