Great for DP 1.4 with Nvidia G-Sync enabled

Present I am using this with a Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultra Wide 49" screen. On my gaming PC I am using 240Hz for 5120 x 1440 with g-sync enabled on an RTX 3080. That's an insane amount of data! However, using a 3' and 1' cable was the maximum length I could get without flickering. Also note that your computer won't think it's compatible with one Monitor is connected when you switch from this thing.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Minus

Works perfectly! on DVI HDMI adapters

This displayport switch works great as intended. I've always wanted to share one of the monitor screens between my personal and work laptops. Now I could easily switch my monitor between my work laptop and personal laptop with the push of a button on this DisplayPort switch adapter. As other buyers have noted, USB power from a laptop or monitor is enough to keep it running! Overall I am fully satisfied with this product.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Appearance

Didn't work with many different DP1.4 cables despite troubleshooting

Hooked up my Macbook Pro, initially only had the 24hz option. I had to reconnect it several times and finally got the 165Hz that the monitor can support. Then I tried connecting my desktop PC to it and even after using a few different cables I can still only get 24Hz on it. However, G-SYNC somehow still registers. At this point, it's better to just buy a couple of female-to-female DisplayPort extenders and just swap out the cables manually.

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Small, light and seemingly sturdy

The switch is about the same width, slightly shorter than a credit card and only about 1/2 inch thick. It is very light but looks well made. Switching from computer source to computer source only takes about 2 seconds, and I haven't experienced any picture issues when either source has passed the switch compared to connecting directly to the display. I'd recommend attaching the switch to something with velcro or something because it's so light and the cables you connect to it will likely pull…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Broadly ok, but...

Ideal for working from home to maximize monitor usage

I bought this device to solve my problem of trying to use a display for work. I have a work laptop connected to a docking station and a personal desktop with two monitors connected to the same desk. My job didn't require an additional monitor and I didn't want to buy another one just for my laptop, so I knew this splitter would solve that problem. It's great that I can use one monitor for both work and personal use. When I'm done with my daily work, I simply press the button on the splitter to…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is fine

Spent an hour and returned

splinter received on time. Tries to connect to 2 monitors; 32" LG and 49" Samsung to my Nvidia i9 3080 card. No display, reset and restart. Same result. One monitor off, the other flickering, but on with artifacts seen several times a minute. I assemble computers so I tried this on another computer; i9 with 2070 max Nvidia, with different cables. The same problems. I have an old NO POWER splitter that works great, I can only assume it is defective. To be honest, even if the product works…

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • long delivery

Great for two computers on 1 monitor

I wanted something to quickly switch the display on one monitor between my work laptop and my PC. Must be DisplayPort due to the output of the dock I'm using. This works great for this purpose. It's trivial to set up. The case makes a solid and well-made impression. It's quite small (about the width of the palm of my hand) The blue LED clearly indicates which source is being used. One small thing: I wish it could work without USB power (like another HDMI switch I use does), but I only connected

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine
