3rd time nice, it just works.

I have been working from home for almost 2 years. I have a dual monitor setup as well as my personal PC and my work laptop. Initially, I bought a cheap switch that allowed me to switch one monitor between two computers, and I connected the second monitor to my work laptop. It worked fine but I couldn't use the second monitor for my personal PC. As a side note, I didn't need a second monitor for personal use, so I was fine for a year and a half. A few months ago I decided to buy a switch that would give me the ability to use dual monitors on both computers. I tried 2 cheaper switches but none worked for me. Maybe the adapters I used weren't compatible. I contacted Startech support via live chat to ensure I purchased the correct switch and cables. The fact that they had a chat line was a strong plus. Anyway, the switch and cables arrived, I plugged everything in and the switch just worked. The switch appears to be well built and I couldn't be happier.
