Can I Connect 2 Computers to U2415 Without Using A KVM Switch

Question

I just purchased a U2415 and love the monitor. I have two machines, a Dell Optiplex 9020M and a Lenovo T430 Laptop with docking station.

I currently have the 9020M connected, but also want to connect the Lenovo docking station and switch between the two machine on the monitors menu screen. Is that possible.

I remember some monitors at work having this capability and cannot find information on this in the manual or anywhere online.

Is this possible? Thanks

It is in the User's Guide page 40. Use the OSD (On Screen Display) Input Source to switch between the computers.

Perhaps we should have added a notation in the manual about using Input Source to see multiple computers connected to the inputs. In theory, four computers could be connected to the monitor:
DisplayPort
Mini DisplayPort
HDMI (MHL) 1
HDMI (MHL) 2
