Bit of a niche question, but I know there are a few fellow Vrroom owners on here, so thought someone may be able to help me out with this one.
I've currently got my HDFury Vrroom with my PC, XBSX, PS5 and Nintendo Switch as inputs, and TX0 hooked up to one of the 2 HDMI 2.1 ports on my LG BX, with AUD out to my Denon AVR and it works perfectly. I get 4K120 VRR with Atmos on everything (well except the switch obv ) and, other than the occasional need to reboot to get signals detected when switching inputs, it does the job great.
Now I want to add a PC monitor to the second output on the Vrroom, so I can play at my desk, or on the couch, without messing around moving cables etc. So I want to get a 4K120hz+ HDMI 2.1 monitor to do that job.
I want a 27/28" monitor to fit in with my exisitng setup, so I have narrowed it down to two options, I can get an Acer Nitro XV282K for £399, or pay almost double to get the Samsung AG700. Both seem pretty equal in terms of picture quality etc. so the Nitro is currently winning due to it being a lot cheaper.
However the Nitro only has 24Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports, so it relies on DSC to achieve 4K120HDR output. I know this will limit me to 4:2:0 chroma with PS5 (due to PS5 not supporting DSC), but that isn't really a problem.
What I want to know is will the Vrroom output correctly to both my TV & this monitor without me having to change settings on either my devices, or the Vrroom, when I go from one to the other? I don't need to use both at once, but I really don't want to have to go in and reconfigure anything when I move from one to the other.
And if this setup wouldn't work, without having to mess with settings all the time, would the AG700 (with it's 40Gbps ports) work without such configuration.
Thanks for any help
