BenQ PD3220U with 2014 MacBook Pro Retina (USB hub question) I want to buy the BenQ PD3220U monitor but I am not sure if I will be able to use it how I intend to. As The following post shows that I should be able to connect to the monitor from my Thunderbolt 2 port using an adapter: Is Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 (type C) possible?
This way I should be able to get 4k 60Hz output. I don't know however if I will also be able to use all it's other features such as the integrated USB hub and KVM switch. Does anybody know if it will work?
If you have another system (PC or Mac) and this 2014 MacBook Pro, you can have a DisplayPort KVM switch to have both systems share the monitor and keyboard/ mouse/ other USB devices.  With the DisplayPort KVM switch, you don't need to have a Thunderbolt 2-to-3 converter.  And you also can get extra USB sharing ports at the same time.
Just carefully to select the right DisplayPort-to-Type-C active converter for the connection between the KVM switch video out to the Type-C monitor.
We tested and recommended CAC-1557 for the cable  and UDP-12AP for the KVM switch.
