I've noticed Dell is better with that, some models have a dedicated input selection button. Very useful. The other way is to make sure only one input is active at a time. Most monitors should auto-switch to whatever input has signal.	Agent_24 (57)

The remote idea could work, theres a few free remotes that would work great. I dont even bother with team Viewer these days, go another that's free ( to use locally and a couple of clients, mainly locally) for upto 10 connections ( business or Private usage) and you can set it to use a local IP, no internet required, in fact they even give you the option to host your own server. For helping customers I use the inbuilt Windows 10 remote. www.remoteutilities.com	wainuitech (129)
