Having some issue with my HDMI switcher

[Shindouz Hirono]

Hello I'm having some problem with my hdmi switcher basically it is a 5 input and 1 output HDMI Switcher. Let me break it down below of what is attached to it right now

Input 1 Nintendo Switch
Input 2 CPU
Input 3 None
Input 4 none
Input 5 None
Output TV

So basically i only have input 1 and 2 attached so when i wanna game on my switch i can switch it to the TV and when im not playing I can use the TV with my CPU as an extra display. However whenever i game on my switch monitor 1 with HDMI is running fine but my monitor 2 attached with Display Port went no signal so I"m wondering why is that? is it because it isnt hdmi input thats why?

What is the switcher's brand and model? Are you using an DisplayPort to HDMI adapter when connecting from your PC to the switch?

I dont know what is the brand prolly just some third party one that I bought cheap from my local online shopping here in malaysia but it works fine when switching hdmi just that i dont understand why my display with DP port connected is showing no signal. No i'm not using any converter for cables port. Purely utilizing HDMI to HDMI and DP to DP cables

I think I misunderstood you. Your PC is connected to two monitors. The first connection (HDMI) is to the TV via the HDMI switcher. The second connection (DP) is to a monitor. When the HDMI switcher is set to the Nintendo Switch, the PC can no longer display on the DP monitor. Is that correct?

Hi to clear your misunderstanding my PC is connected to 3 monitors 2x 27 inch display (1 HDMI & another DP) and 1 x 50 inch TV display (HDMI).

the hdmi switcher is connected to nintendo switch hdmi and also another hdmi cable from the pc to the hdmi switcher while the output from the hdmi switcher is from output hdmi cable to tv hdmi ports. I hope this clears off your misunderstanding thanks.

MY PC brand is mix with variety of brand components inside there i dont think it has anything to do with it. my graphic card is a GTX 1060 Armour 3GB

I think I have a clear picture of your setup.

How do you get the DP screen to come back on? Do you flip the switcher to input 2? Do you disconnect and reconnect the DP cable? Do you have to restart your system?
