Review on Enhance Productivity with Dell U3419W Ultrasharp 34 Inch ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Ultrawide Screen - 3440X1440, 60Hz, USB Hub, Wall Mountable, Height Adjustment by Matthew Marshburn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful, crisp monitor, but quirky KVM

I bought this to replace two of my 24 QHD monitors with the main purpose being to use USB-C capabilities and the built in KVM switch to control two computers. The display itself is great. Gorgeous colors, clear and precise. The USB-C cable serves as both a display cable and a charging cable. The KVM switch I bought it for. works while you're mostly on one computer or another. But if you have to switch back and forth a lot (which I sometimes have to do), it confuses one of the computers. Both work with the latest Windows 10 update. Recovering sometimes means disconnecting and reconnecting on the monitor side. Sometimes a restart of the computer (especially my laptop) is required. Searching the forum didn't find a solution. It's not clear if this is just a Dell issue, although I've found some references to Dell built into KVM. and at least one link to Microsoft's generic USB3.0 driver. Although I hate this, I may have to return the monitor.
