how can i connect two sources to one monitor [p2414h] and change between them .one source is the computer the second one is a tv convert with hdmi plug
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.
thank you chris-the computer i connect to the monitor with a dvi-d cable [every thing is ok] the tv converter has only hdmi out put . i connect it to the monitor with a dp to hdmi cable i use the osd and the monitor did not recognized this connection,

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.
