TESmart DisplayPort + HDMI Dual Monitor KVM Switch: UHD 4K @60Hz, USB 2.0 Control, 2 Computers + 2 Monitors (Red) Review

I returned mine after 6 hours of fighting with it. First, let me say that I'm a computer scientist and I work with computers for a living. I wanted to use a dual monitor KVM switch because I was tired of manually switching the second monitor's input. I have two very large monitors with a resolution of 3440x1440. This device could not handle both. I tried it on Ubuntu, Windows and Mac OS and each failed to send the full resolution. I had to shrink one of the monitors so it wouldn't go blank. I…

I bought this KVM for my home computers and it works fine. other than using my Logitech keyboard and mouse. I've noticed the keyboard on port 2 is having trouble transmitting keystrokes, don't know why, it's like the data is getting messed up between the keyboard and kvm and just repeating the last key pressed until you press another key . This only happens with a device on port 2 on kvm. My workaround for this is to simply plug a USB hub into a USB port on the KVM and plug the receiver into…

After some hardware compatibility issues with the Linux kernel when dual booting on my main computer, I decided to build a dedicated Linux computer and started after a KVM with two 4K to look for monitors. This device fits as modern graphics cards only have 1 HDMI port and 2-4 display ports. My Windows PC has an RTX2080Ti, Linux has an RTX 2080 Super and both have 1 HDMI port and 3 DP ports. Monoprice 27772 32 inch monitors. Azio Large Print Keyboard, Wired USB, Logitech Trackman Marble…

Bought to replace an old Belkin Flip DVI KVM switch. I like the ability to work with two monitors. The audio couldn't work properly, but TESmart customer service was great at helping me troubleshoot. He has his own characteristics. When changing monitors, it takes a few seconds for the new ribbon to appear. Lots of audio noise when switching and also when trying to connect. I think audio over HDMI causes some problems. While not perfect, it serves the purpose I bought it for. I suggested…

Specific issues I'm facing: Both monitors turn off at random intervals, image noise (e.g. obvious reason when laptops wake up. I'd say on average I've seen all 2 hours or so of kvm shooting. That means on a typical work day I have to fiddle with cables, reboot my computer or turn the KVM on and off about 4 times a day. My setup: Two monitors connected to KVM via HDMI. One external USB 3.1 hub: printer, keyboard, mouse, webcam Hub connected to kvm via USB 3.1 device to USB a.A Macbook Pro…
