Odyssey G8 G85SB - Is there a way to change the name of a device connected to the monitor?

I have an Odyssey G8 G85SB and I have a MacMini and HP Elitebook connected to it.  When I go to the Home screen, I just see 2 devices called "PC"... same in the OSD.  It makes it difficult to know which computer is associated with each of the PCs.

To make matters worse, I've tried click on one of the PCs, find out it's not the one I want, then when I click on the other I get the same computer."

In the OSD, I was able to figure out how to change the "PC" to "USB-C" and "HDMI".  However, if I disconnect that device and plug it back it, it reverts to "PC".  So, that's not helpful.

I can also use Bixby to tell it which port to switch to, but most of the time I'd rather just do it through the Tizen home screen or OSD.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks!

FYI - I am on the latest firmware (1651).

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! The way that you change it is correct but it does not save it when you disconnect it. There is no way to make it save though.
