PA248 Monitor: Assigning "1" & "2" Butons To Inputs?
I hop back-and-forth between two inputs a *lot*.
Seems like I should be able to set the PA248 up so that pressing the "1" button selects one input and pressing the "2" button selects another. I've tried, but can't make it happen. Is there a way? -- Pete Cresswell |

If the Input Select menu is on the screen, you make an Input Selection, then hit a Shortcut key (Shortcut 1 or Shortcut 2), does it remember that ? I suppose the best you could hope for, is the Shortcut key causes the Input Selection menu to pop up. I get the impression the Shortcut key, is a shortcut to a certain menu level, rather than an actual selection. The manual doesn't make that clear. The manual doesn't make anything very clear. Paul |

PA248 Monitor: Assigning "1" & "2" Butons To Inputs?
Per Paul:
If the Input Select menu is on the screen, you make an Input Selection, then hit a Shortcut key (Shortcut 1 or Shortcut 2), does it remember that ? I suppose the best you could hope for, is the Shortcut key causes the Input Selection menu to pop up. I get the impression the Shortcut key, is a shortcut to a certain menu level, rather than an actual selection.\ No such luck. The "1" and "2" buttons seems to invoke programmable "UserMode 1" and "UserMode2", but when I go to try to define the UserModes, (Shortcut | Shortcut 1, for instance) Shortcut 1 points to User Mode 1.... but I can't figure out how to define "User Mode 1") Fooling around, I managed to select "Display Port" form the Input menu... and then seemed to have semi-bricked the monitor: pressing "Menu" no longer brings up a menu.... disconnecting/reconnecting power doesn't help.... it just kept throwing "Asus DisplayPort NO SIGNAL" after the Asus splash screen. The manual doesn't make that clear. The manual doesn't make anything very clear. Went back for a little more RTFM and discovered the "Input Select" button (duhhhhhh...!) which basically does what I wanted to do in the first place - albeit with a few more presses to cycle through the other input sources... but it's plenty good enough. -- Pete Cresswell |

So if it has an Input Select button (which would normally be labeled with something like "A/B"), why did they bother with an Input Select menu ? That icon on the button, didn't trigger any "aha" moments when I was flipping through the manual. And with only one valid signal source connected, you would think it would flip to that port on its own. It's when more than one valid signal source is present, you need an A/B button. Some monitors keep the button separate and "down in front" for convenience. Unlike my monitor, that hides all the buttons behind the bezel. With my monitor, you slide your hand down the back of the unit, until you feel the presence of the button block. Paul |
