Good display, but the KVM switch has one major caveat

The display is nice and the hardware calibration features are welcome. My main complaint is that they advertise a built-in KVM switch but don't tell you that unless one of your computers is a USB-C laptop, you can't use the switch with just a USB-3 input port. The lack of a second upstream port for a second workstation (or older laptop) is extremely disappointing, especially since they don't mention it in their marketing. vDisplayManager is also quite buggy. Very slow, sometimes freezes. Switching between normal display and PBP takes more steps than it should.
