Review on TESmart DisplayPort Switcher Supports Devices Computer Components by Adam Shuler

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Currently the best DP KVM for external components

There appears to be a known bug in the product which is causing the screen to turn on and off at random times. I emailed the manufacturer's support and was advised to try other cables than the ones that came with it. Support said that if the new cables fix this they will give a cash rebate on the cables. I tried several cables I had on hand and when they didn't fix the problem I ordered new cables. The new cables fixed the problem but after sending the bill to support I haven't heard back from the cash refund. See the following link for cables that seem to have fixed the flickering: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081YZ47LB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. small profile, quiet, easy to use and able to reliably switch between my Microsoft Surface dock and desktop unlike other 3 DP KVM switches I've had before. I would raise my rating to 5 stars if the manufacturer compensated me for buying new cables. EDIT: The seller has since compensated me with new cables which I had to purchase. The rating has been raised.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
