Good KVM but no 4K @60Hz
Bought this item awhile ago as part of a general system swap to use DisplayPort. It has been working fine with a series of 1k and 2k panels without trouble at max res. and frequency. As per usual - StarTech make reliable kit that is well made. Anyway, just got a new 4K panel and thought I would connect it up. It seems that the unit is only DisplayPort 1.1 compliant. Thi...

Flashes on 3 different HP monitors
I bought 2 to do multiple setups for Deployment. Both have issues: flashing the screen (mostly off) and not catching a signal on start up so never seeing a screen. Lastly one of the two only works with two or less of the ports connected. I cannot find a firmware update or support for these issues.

Works well with a multitude of devices
Using with a desktop PC, a laptop PC, and an MS Surface Pro. Monitor switch works perfectly even with the Surface Pro using an external 1920x1200 monitor. Seems to work with all USB devices so far, even an external soundcard. It is worth noting that using this device uncovered a firmware fault on the desktop graphics card which required a firmware update (not just drive...

Not working with Ubuntu
I have 2 computers on Ubuntu, when I start the computer I have my screen, but if I switch to the second one and I switch back to the first, I don't have the screen anymore because the X server crash because the KVM doesn't respond to the displayport during switch... The KVM does not respect the display port standards...

Fails to do 1080p
Failed to output 1080p switching back and forth between sources. I can switch the refresh rate and the KVM will work but as soon as I switch inputs and back again it stops working until I change the refresh rate agian. I've used StarTech KVMs without too many issues, from VGA to DVI flavors and this is the first to not work consistently.

Does what I need it to without issue.
Two weeks in and it is working flawlessly. No software setup, just plug in the two laptops and use it. I'm not using audio and not worried about 4K. Just using the basic keyboard, video and mouse. One difference is that my keyboard has the old PS/2 connection. Using a PS/2 to USB converter does not cause any issues with the KVM as I've seen on others in the past. A numb...
