S2721DS, can't launch KVM
Hello. I have a Dell S2721DS monitor and want to use the KVM function to allow Keyboard and Mouse access to both my MacBook Air and an older MacBook Pro. I have downloaded / installed the DDPM but can't launch it from the top menu bar, even though it is there. Maybe this montor isn't able to perform the KVM function, but I thought it would be able to. Please advise me on whether or not this is possible, and if it is possible, how I get it all working.
Many Thanks.

The S2721DS does not have the built-in KVM feature.
The S2721DS was not given Apple macOS support by Dell. You can see on the S2721DS Drivers & Downloads page under "Operating system" that only Windows OS are listed. This means that the macOS DDPM was not tested on the S2721DS.

@DELL-Chris M Thanks Chris. I also have a Dell S2721HS monitor. But no matter where I search I still can't find a simple list of Dell monitors that do support KVM on Mac laptops. Can you give a link to a precise list of monitors that do support KVM on Macs?

Go HERE. Look at the U series or UP series. Once you find a candidate as far as size, search for it on the sales page for its specifications.
