I didn't want to drift the Second Monitor thread.

I have a Dell monitor connected to two sources (DP and HDMI). I would like to view both sources at the same time by splitting the display.

I installed the Dell Display Manager because it seemed like it would help enable having the both sources be displayed at the same time by splitting the monitor.

But actually, it seems like it only splits the monitor (in multiple different ways) for a single source.

Is there a way to have two sources be viewed at the same time? Can I do it w/ existing HW using the Dell Display Manager tool? A different (trusted) app? Do I need a different display (and display manager tool?) to do it (any pointers to which display I should look at?)? Or is what I want to do just not possible?

If the monitor supports "Picture By Picture" or "Picture In Picture".

What make/model monitor?

I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2719D

Try going to the "Input Tab" in the "Display Manager" and see if you can select the two inputs from there using the "PIP/PBP" on the left side of the Manager.

Thanks! I don't see "PIP/PBP" anywhere in the Dell Display Manager tool.... Is that something that is available perhaps only if I have a monitor that supports PIP?

Yes, your monitor has to support PiP/PbP, and I don't believe that model has it. I think PBP (Picture by Picture) is specifically what you need. Maybe there's another way to do it, don't know.

I see. Okay.

I'll try to see if I can find a ~34" monitor that supports PbP/PiP.
