Hi all,

So I'm trying to hook up my Raspberry Pi 5 with a monitor that I've just acquired. That's easy enough since I have the HDMI -> mini HDMI cable.

My laptop has an HDMI port, and I would like to hook that up to the monitor as well.

The problem is that the monitor only has one HDMI port. So I was thinking about finding a splitter so that I could plug both the HDMI from the laptop and mini-HDMI from the Raspberry Pi into it, and then switch between them without needing to reach behind the monitor every time that I want to see the other computer.

I've only scanned around for 5/10 minutes, but I can't seem to find something that would work for what I want.

I think I'm looking for the wrong item, so any suggestions would be welcome!

It sounds like an HDMI switch would be good for you, would something with a remote and/or physical button on the switch be okay to change displays?

      I did that to a work colleague many years ago when he left it logged in. Unfortunately I was out of the office the next day, and even the IT department was stumped lol. Got a bit of a bollocking when I got back into the office, but, by god, it was worth it.
