U2724D, two, with two PC
I would like to catch up here as I have a similar "issue". I am also planning to run 2x U2724d monitors in future and I have already purchased one. So far I was using a U2515h as my main monitor which had 2x DP inputs (1x miniDP, 1xDP). So with that monitor it was no issue to run 2 devices (PC and notebook) and to daisy chain the second monitor.
However, as the U2724d only has 1x DP input (WHY??) I need to figure out how to get it working. I was wondering if it is possible to use one of the USB-C ports of the U2724d as the input for my notebook which supports thunderbolt output? So i would connect my PC via DP to the DP in of the first U2724d and I connect my notebook via thunderbolt to the USB-C inputs of the U2724d? Or is this only working with a U2724DE ?
I don`t really want to spend 100€ more for the DE version ... it is a bit of a bummer that the model of 2023/2024 supports less inputs than my old U2515h which is from 2017 :(

The U2515H sold for 460€. So equal to the more expensive 478€ U2724DE.
The 303€ U2724D was designed to run two PC via HDMI in or DP in. No, the USB-C are not video.
The 478€ U2724DE was designed to run two PC via HDMI in or DP in or Thunderbolt 4 upstream.
Both have DP out to facilitate the MST DP daisy chain from PC source Thunderbolt/USB-C or DP.
MST DP daisy chain will not work if the PC source is HDMI, DVI, or VGA.
Price conversions based on USA sales.
