I have a Samsung g9 curved monitor with 1x HDMI port which I’m using for my Xbox series x at the moment and I also have a misterfpga that also needs a HDMI connection into the monitor but my issue is that I only have the 1x hdmi port going into the monitor and 2x display ports.
Is there anyway of using additional connectors to convert the display port in the monitor and convert it into an additional HDMI port ??
I’m new to all this and I’ve probably used the wrong terms and names but I’m desperate for help as the more I research and look into this the more confused I’m getting

Re: Monitor with 1x HDMI Port and 2x Display Port
There are passive adapters that adapt HDMI signals for DP inputs.

You could just get a cheap hdmi switch box & connect both to the 1 HDMI port. You can get them for less than £10 on Amazon I think. Certainly cheap enough on eBay if you don't mind waiting for post.

It won't work, those are for Display Port output from a computer. In that case, the computer switch the signal to HDMI and the adapter can be passive. Going from HDMI to Display Port needs active signal converter like this: https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/Adaptateur-D ... 82&sr=8-10Mellified wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 11:09 pm There are passive adapters that adapt HDMI signals for DP inputs.
