Pro XDR question

[machenryr]

I just got this (nano) and the Pro Stand yesterday. I’m running it with the 2019 Mac Pro. I also want to share the screen with an older 5,1 Mac Pro. I’ve done this recently by changing the input from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and using a different keyboard and mouse. I have a thunderbolt to HDMI cable but I don’t see how to change input modes with this. I’m on Monterey with my 7,1 Mac Pro. I used to use a switcher. I still have it. I’d rather just do it this way. Less devices.

Thanks. Also the screen seems slightly curved. Like it’s a preference. I’d like it not to have the sense of curved space.

The XDR has only one input. You'll have to either manually change cables or read through the thread about compatible switchboxes.

No idea what you mean about curved screen....

Yeah. Thanks. I'll pull my switcher out. Nobody has experienced this curved thing. Either it's a defect or an optical illusion I'm experiencing. I'll ask some other people what they see without telling them what I'm seeing. It'd be a drsag if it was defective. It was just shipped form China.

Interesting. Revisiting this thread. I took a picture of the monitor. I’m overseas right now and don’t have access to those photos. But it definitely WAS curved. It’s not now. Weird. Like it had to settle in for a week.

Were you using a curved screen previously? If so, that’s why. It takes your eyes some time to adapt.
