Confirm monitor resolution/adjust display settings

Have 2 port DisplayPort, didn't work at first. I use both identical monitors and the manufacturer specs are 1366 x 768 resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. For 2-port DisplayPort to work according to the manufacturer's specs, you must have a minimum output resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a refresh rate of 60Hz. After playing around with the display settings on the PC and looking at the manufacturer's specs, set the display settings to 1920x1080 and refresh rate: 60Hz and then it worked right away…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • No performance

Not suitable for KVM installation

I like the metal case of this hub. The rigidity added by the case makes it very durable. The primary cable is thick and well made. I have had no problems with this device when connected directly between my computer and my monitors. I had a problem installing with KVM. The setting was Computers > KVM > Hub > Monitors. When used internally with KVM, the monitors simply did not work. When I use KVM alone the monitor works fine, but when I use the hub myself everything is fine. When I use…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Protection

I'm not giving you 5 screens with Geforce 1080 GTX

I knew it was a gamble. Here is my configuration: I have two GTX1080 in SLI mode with 3 equal sized screens (for 3D viewing) and a projector. Thus 4 displays are connected. I thought that with 2 graphics cards I could get up to 8 displays, but not quite, when connecting cards a maximum of 4 displays. Also, I wanted to use an Oculus Rift S, so I figured this MST displayport might help, but it doesn't. When I plugged the Oculus into one of my DP screens, it still only saw one. So I returned it…

  • video cable

Works great until it randomly stops working.

Approximately 6 months have passed. I have a 1050 Ti graphics card and 2 new Asus monitors (1920x1200). When I first got this splitter it didn't work until I unplugged it and plugged it back in, but I thought maybe it was just loose. I can't remember now if it was weeks or even a few months before it accidentally stopped working for the first time - unplugging and plugging it back in worked again. But since then it's been happening more and more frequently and even after reconnecting it becomes

Works out of the box but not with dual 4K monitors unless set to 30 FPS

I am using a brand new Dell Tower PC with Windows 10. ALL SYSTEM DRIVERS AND BIOS HAVE BEEN UPDATED. I installed an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 from Dell. It has a DisplayPort, an HDMI and a DVI. I have two identical LG 27" 4K MONITORS tested separately on the same PC at 3840 x 2160. I have a MONOPRICE 2 Port DisplayPort 1.2 with a DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Hub (P/N 21972 ) connected to two different kits. identical DisplayPort 1.4 cables. I switched cables, switched monitors, used…
