Product: HP 27xw Monitor
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I just recently purchased the HP 27xw from my local Costco Wholesale and so far I love it. But I do have one small issue I'd like to see if there's a work around for. I have plugged in both my PC (HDMI 1) and my XBox 360 (HDMI 2) into my monitor. But trying to "switch" bakc and forth between them is impossible due to the limitations of an on-screen switch found within the software on my PC. Is there a manual switch for this, perhaps located under the screen where the power button is? I can feel there are several buttons under there, but I don't want to press any of them for fear of screwing up something. Can anyone assist?

Hi,

 

Please try the Source button which is next (left hand side) to the power ON/OFF button or OSD. They may help otherwise an auto HDMI switch can do the job very well.

 

Regards.

Thank you! Yes, this does work. Takes two presses to make the switch to HDMI 2, and then 4 to get it back to HDMI 1 ... but it works!
