🔌 TRIPP LITE Minicom KVM Extender USB + 2-Port KVM TAA GSA: Efficient Remote Access Solution Review

Love it for the easy install. Just connect the cables at both ends (plus the power supply at the end of the remote monitor) and everything works like a click! The only problem I have is that the screen resolution is reduced on the monitor. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because it's on a Linux machine and it might require some extra setup. (We'll answer the suggestions if anyone has one!). Otherwise, it's an AWESOME opportunity to put your server in another room and not listen to the fan noise…

bought the first one. it does not work. I bought another one and it didn't work either. A professional installer was hired to use this after I tried and couldn't get it to work. don't buy that. There are other brands that work much better.

It supports 1920 x 1080 resolution but the screen looks a bit strange. I wish I had the right words to describe what it's like. When I have to choose it becomes "crispy". So if you're doing something that needs good colors this isn't your device, but if you need your car in a different space it's great…

Usually with computers you get what you pay for. And that usually led me to buying more expensive versions of this type of device, but I've been VERY happy with my recent purchase of this KVM extender. I had a customer who needed a computer in front of their warehouse for orders and shipping. The problem is that this part of the warehouse is not air-conditioned, it is right by the sea (humid air based on salt water - computer no-no) and always large, heavy packages fall on the table on which…
