This is most likely not the KVM for you - it's not HDCP compliant.

Look at all the new TESmart KVMs and you will see that most of them have "HDCP" on the first picture. It's not like this. Of course, TESmart will not release a non-HDCP compliant KVM that supports 4k 60Hz and 1440p 144Hz, right? Not correct. HDMI ports support HDCP, but DisplayPort does not. That means things like Revain Prime videos will only show in 480p and some other services will refuse to play at all. You can turn off the monitor that receives the original DisplayPort signal (so you only use your computer's HDMI output). have HDCP, but is it good? This is a dual monitor KVM, you should be able to use both monitors! If you think you can use DisplayPort to support FreeSync/Gsync, think again. This is not supported. Good luck finding it on their website. They only state that freesync over HDMI is not supported. Finally, minijack audio output is only supported on HDMI ports, not DisplayPort. I spent a good hour troubleshooting why I couldn't get audio, only to find that KVM can't access the DisplayPort's audio stream (but can stream it to the monitor). I returned this KVM because of all these issues. . I strongly recommend getting the 2x HDMI version (instead of DisplayPort + HDMI), so you can at least keep HDCP support. If none of these issues bother you, this is actually a pretty good KVM. for me and
