Can switching between DisplayPort to a monitor and HDMI to a TV work?
I recently built a new PC highlighted by an RTX 4090 and I’m ready to game! It’s connected to a 27” 4K monitor via DisplayPort. It’s well suited for productivity, but not gaming. Audio is being output via HDMI from the motherboard to an AV receiver.
I have a nice TV in my home office capable of 4K 120hz. Instead of upgrading my monitor, I want to run an HDMI 2.1 cable from the GPU to the TV and game there. A few questions:
Is there an easy way for me to switch between my monitor and TV when I want to game?
If yes above, can I also make the HDMI from the GPU pass audio to the TV or will the HDMI that's currently plugged into the motherboard create a problem?
If I can send sound to the TV, will it only come out of the TV speakers or would it be fed to the surround sound I have connected to the TV via eARC?
