Review on TESmart 2 Port DisplayPort 4K@60Hz Ultra HD 2X1 DP KVM Switcher With 2 Pcs 5Ft KVM Cables And DP Cables Supports USB 2 by Victor Glatzel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

To date, this is the best Displayport KVM on the market (as of 04/20/2020)

Of course, in such a price range, TESmart is the best DP KVM in my opinion. You don't have many options for KVM with display on the market right now, most of them are too expensive. I had another StarTech DP KVM from a previous job. When I wanted to buy one for WFH during the pandemic, I looked at StarTech first, but the price was much more expensive ($263). TESmart is one of the cheapest KVM DPs I could find, so I bought it and it worked fine. ($100). I have to say that Displayport is relatively less popular than HDMI or DVI for most people, which might explain the fewer options for DP-KVM products. This one works great with my RTX 4000 / MBP 2019 -> Dell 2718Q. When I connected the RTX4000 to another old monitor (Asus PB278Q), there was flickering. The flickering occurred on Win 10 OS and Ubuntu 18.04LTS. After updating the graphics card firmware and driver I did a little research and discovered that it was because the DP 1.4 graphics card was not "fully compatible" with a DP 1.2 monitor. Мое мерцание было очень похоже на фото другого рецензента, поэтому мой вывод/решение состоит в том, чтобы обновить ваш монитор :) Теперь я полностью доволен этим DP KVM, моя единственная надежда была на то, что продавец предоставит выбор 4-портового DP 4K KVM in the future.

Pros
  • is understandable even for the old one
