Answer found in the Dell P2414H User’s Guide. Use the monitor OSD (On Screen Display) - Input Source Select to change the source. But you need to first explain what video out port the computer and TV have to connect to the P2414H DP/DVI/VGA video in ports.

TV HDMI out cannot upconvert to the monitor DP via a straight cable. You need to find some HDMI to VGA converter.

TV HDMI out --> HDMI to VGA converter --> VGA to VGA cable --> Monitor VGA in

If the sources have HDMI outputs, I suggest an HDMI switcher.
