Reddit reviews Lindy 2 Port 4K DisplayPort Switch

You are looking for a DisplayPort switch.

This one: LINDY 2 Port 4K DisplayPort Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZK2S71W/

There was a supply available with prime shipping. There’s also slightly cheaper versions on eBay. With good cables this has been rock solid. Keep them short if you can.

Splitter, no. Oculus doesn't use the same aspect ratio or even have the same resolution as your screens which prevents splitting.

The thing that MIGHT work is a displayport switch, essentially an a/b box.

MAYBE something like this would work

I’ve found this switch to work pretty well. It’s a dumb switch and just physically plugs the cables in. There isn’t any internal logic. But I haven’t tested it with a Pimax yet. I use it to switch between computers for my 4K monitor. But I’ve been able to overclock my display to 70hz so the switch doesn’t seem to care what is going through it.

You could get a switch. I'm not sure that this one would work, but something like this.

and then use a hdmi to display port converter https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_1_11?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=hdmi+to+displayport&sprefix=hdmi+to+dis%2Celectronics%2C212&crid=1BRRVC82BIL0R

This and a active-hdmi/ds

I have a similar issue. I found this on Amazon, but only 2 reviews.

Literally just searched "DisplayPort Switch" on Amazon...

Not sure how much, if any, lag this might introduce, but have you thought of a display port switch?

Cheers.

Did you find a solution? I'm in a similar situation, without the spare graphics card. 4k@60hz on one DP, 2160@144hz on the second. Have to crawl under my desk to plug in the Rift.

Your best bet would probably be the 960 for your secondary monitor.

I was looking at a displayport switcher but I'm not sure it would work, with the Rift. This is what I found: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00ZK2S71W

UPDATE:

Actually, I found what I was originally looking for! This switch will make two input sources (Vega and Titan via DP 1.2 in my case) and output it to one output signal (to monitor). All controlled via a tap of a button on the switch. They are called, 2x1 splitters if anyone is curious. Here's the one I bought:

Also, monoprice makes ones but I read some reviews that it isn't as great but it's cheaper. Here's the link:

Monoprice 2x1 DisplayPort Switch, 4K@60Hz, 21.6Gbps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074KT689K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hC5SBbJ4RDQV1

the Lindy DP Switcher here

That is workable. Here is what you need

1. First, you need a dedicated DP 1.4 cable for your central monitor, due to bandwidth requirements of 2k 144hz gaming at 8bit.
   
   
2. Secondly, you need a display port 'switcher' like this:
   https://www.amazon.com/LINDY-Port-4K-DisplayPort-Switch/dp/B00ZK2S71W
   
   Your first wire (dedicated one), goes from your gfx card to display port switcher and then on to your central monitor.
   
   Your second wire (daisy chaining) goes to all 3 (or just two of them, depending on what you want) of your monitors (as it does normally) .. except for your central monitor .. where it would connect to it .. via the switcher
   
   This setup (so far) should allow you to game at the central monitor at 144hz and connect your laptop to all three of them..
   
   
3. Lastly, you can get a USB-C to displayport 'adaptor' .. so that your lovely fiance can use her laptop as well.. to connect to all 3 monitors.
   
   Using a display port 1.4 cable at each place, should ensure everything goes smoothly, since these cables are suppose to be backward compatible. And also provide lower latency.

First of all, no splitter will allow you to use the two displays independently, it will always duplicate displays.

The best value switch I can find is this one for HDMI

https://www.amazon.ca/Fosmon-Bi-Directional-Switcher-Passthrough-Nintendo/dp/B00LFX1UDM/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=display+port+switch&qid=1562088158&s=gateway&sr=8-4

​

Or this one (more expensive) for DP

https://www.amazon.ca/Lindy-Port-4K-DisplayPort-Switch/dp/B00ZK2S71W/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=display+port+switch&qid=1562088158&s=gateway&sr=8-6

​

For both of these you would need two adapters.

​

If you already have the USB splitter, maybe try USB to display port, but those are very expensive 60+ each

Or would something like this work if I keep the 8800GT in there?

Or a KVM Switch like this?

https://www.amazon.com/LINDY-Port-4K-DisplayPort-Switch/dp/B00ZK2S71W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481773724&sr=8-1&keywords=displayport+switch

Maybe that's what you're looking for?

Someone in the review section is using it successfully with his 348Q @ 100hz but another one isn't, apparently. But maybe it's worth a shot? Seems rather inexpensive to me considering the alternatives..

Good luck :)
