U2724DE, Feature Request, sticky Ethernet port

First of all, I am quite happy with this monitor, it works well with both MacBooks and more DisplayPort standard compliant devices.

However, I have one key issue with it: The Ethernet port switches with the input source, which in many setups I believe would be pointless (commonly, a Desktop PC is connected via DisplayPort, and usually has its own ethernet cable).
It would be great if the ethernet port could be configures to always be provided to either the USB-C or Thunderbolt port (e.g. always for the connected laptop).

    @DELL-Chris M​ Ah, I missed that. I have missed that, since i only tried the form on support.dell.com, which only offered options for issues with the monitor. Submitted.

    I think the issue is that the ethernet port hangs off the USB ports, so connects to whatever device they do.

    I do agree mostly with your idea. 

    There is another argument that laptops have WiFi and desktops don't.
