Working with two video sources (

KVM Switch

)

If you have two computer systems, you might find yourself busy going back and forth between
two sets of keyboard and mouse to control each display separately. Now with the KVM feature
and sufficient I/O ports on one monitor, you can work with one set of keyboard and mouse
only.

To use KVM Switch feature, toggle between

Thunderbolt 3

(PD2720U / PD2725U /

PD3220U) /

USB-C

(PD3420Q) or

USB Upstream

under

KVM Switch

.

KVM Switch

>

Thunderbolt 3

(PD2720U / PD2725U / PD3220U) /

USB-C

(PD3420Q):

Switches to the Thunderbolt™ 3 (PD2720U / PD2725U / PD3220U) / USB-C™ (PD3420Q)
input.

KVM Switch

>

USB Upstream

: Switches to one of the video inputs other than

Thunderbolt™ 3 (PD2720U / PD2725U / PD3220U) / USB-C™ (PD3420Q). With
appropriate setting, the display is switched to the set input while the keyboard and mouse
control is switched as well. To determine the input, see

Setting up the second video source

for KVM Switch before use on page 49

.

You can designate one of the custom keys to

KVM Switch

to toggle between the options

quickly. See

Customizing the hot keys on page 45

.

Setting up the second video source for KVM Switch before use

One of the video sources is pre-defined to be transmitted via Thunderbolt™ 3 (PD2720U /
PD2725U / PD3220U) / USB-C™ (PD3420Q) and cannot be changed. The other source can
come from other available inputs and should be set appropriately in advance.

The computer’s color profile (ICC profile) may not best suit your monitor. If you want to make sure to obtain the
accurate color matching representation, change the computer’s ICC profile to ensure the computer works better
with the monitor. Visit

Support.BenQ.com

to access the

ICC Profile Installation Guide

under your monitor

model for instructions. Alternatively, enable the

ICC Sync

function from

Display Pilot

(

page 48

). Refer to the

Display Pilot

manual for details.
