What customers say
Users highly value this KVM switch for its professional grade performance, especially its reliable handling of demanding Dual Link DVI resolutions up to 2560x1600. The build quality is consistently praised, supporting multiple USB peripherals seamlessly. Switching between the four connected systems is smooth once the unit is fully set up. However, the high cost raises questions about its overall value compared to newer connection standards. Furthermore, initial setup can present complexity, sometimes requiring detailed troubleshooting for compatibility with specialized hardware. This device is best suited for power users and IT professionals who specifically need the Dual Link DVI capability and are prepared for the investment and learning curve.
