This is an Optiplex 7460 All-in-one computer with two HDMI (one has a little symbol by it) and a DisplayPort. Trying to use this as an external monitor for a MacBook Pro (via the HDMI connection) but cannot get it to work. Mac recognizes that it is plugged into an external display (I think) but the Dell does not change from its own windows computer screen. I have tried playing with display ...

Monitors Periodically Blinking/Blanking Off using Dell Laptop, Docking Station, Dual Monitors Problem: Every so often one or both of my external monitors will go blank.

But Dell customer service will almost always recommend SupportAssist. According to my experience, SA takes up more space and RAM than Dell Update, and the probability of SA crashing is higher than Dell Update. On my device, SA keeps crashing, especially when multiple tasks are running at the same time, whereas Dell Update never crashes.
