What customers say
Customers highly value the Monoprice Blackbird KVM for its exceptional value, offering DisplayPort 1.4 and USB 3.0 support capable of 4K 60Hz performance at a budget friendly price. This makes it a strong contender for modern productivity setups. However, the positive sentiment is frequently tempered by reliability concerns. Many users report intermittent issues, including DisplayPort handshaking failures that require power cycling and occasional USB peripheral dropouts. Achieving consistent performance often demands using specific, high quality, short cables, moving it away from a simple plug and play experience. Those willing to optimize their setup praise the resulting speed and functionality.
