Review on TESmart Switch Supports Control Servers External Components by Joshua Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Was great for about 1 year now it's buggy and now the video is completely dead.

At first glance this well designed and built KVM device is exactly what I was looking for. I really like that I can turn it off when not needed and quickly select the four devices I have connected through it. Worked well out of the box. I have owned this device for a year now and a few days ago the video portion was not working. Didn't work three days in a row. I unplugged all the cables, swapped a few and lo and behold it started showing part of the video again, however the image was very pixelated. The next day the picture seemed normal for an hour, then the screen started to shake, and a few minutes later the monitor went black. Just a few more hours before it goes black forever. I really like this product and just want it to last as long or longer than the computers connected to it (the previous KVM lasted almost 10 years before I upgraded to this one). UPDATE: About a week after the original release, the video edition is completely dead.
