Here is my situation. I want to purchase 2 U2724D's and have the following setup on my desk:

Monitor 2 Monitor 1 Laptop Desktop PC

Desktop PC (4070 video card):

- 1 DP from Desktop PC to Monitor 1 (DP in)

- 1 HDMI from Desktop PC to Monitor 2 (HDMI in)

Then I want the ability to place my laptop on my desk and attach it to one of the monitors as run a daisy chain from laptop to monitor 1 and monitor 2 (all independent screens) -without- having to unplug any cables from my desktop PC. thus:

- Laptop HDMI to HDMI in on Monitor 1

- Monitor 1 (DP out) to Monitor 2 (DP in)

Would this work? I am hesitant that it would based on the laptop inputting the video signal into the HDMI slot, but then needing the daisy chain to occur from the 2 monitors via DP?

I need to figure this out ASAP as I want to purchase these soon.

Thanks!!
