Review on πŸ–₯️ TESmart 2 PCs Dual Monitor KVM Switch 4K @60Hz - HDCP 2.2 Support by Julpikz Bellemy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Doesn't work with laptop docks or adapter cables (e.g. DisplayPort to HDMI)

Really wish it would work but unfortunately it doesn't. One of the computers is a Mac Pro with two mini DisplayPorts on the back, so I used a conversion cable to connect it to this KVM. When I boot it up I get a horrible blank white Mac screen and it stays that way. It is common knowledge that if the peripheral device is not compatible, you will get this screen. When I contacted TESmart support, the rep advised me to get better cables (cmx). I got a second pair of "better" (more expensive) cables with the same result. My second computer is an HP laptop that plugs into the docking station. When I connect two cables (DisplayPort-to-HDMI) to KVM, no matter what I try, only one monitor shows up. And the resolution changes. The support rep said "We recommend you use a high quality DP-HDMI cable." smh. This thing CAN work fine if you have two HDMI ports on the back of your computer, but it won't work properly if you add complexity. I'll be back.

  • Looking forward to it
