Review: This product worked out of the box as a DP/DP solution, however despite using a 4K DP/HDMI cable, it failed to connect my HDMI laptop. Tried researching for solutions such as DP/HDMI converters etc but found the mixed reviews and lack of quality advice frustrating. I’m using the monitors HDMI port for the laptop, which is annoying when I’ve a £400 kvm on my desk! The unit comes with a good selection of cables. The button array on the unit isn’t as tactile as I’d expect. Each button press comes with a beep which as far as I’m aware can’t be turned off. The switch latency between multiple devices is reasonable - Difficult to quantify in words unless I had a device to measure in milliseconds, so apologies if my review lacks that detail. I’ve not had any errors or unexpected behaviour since installing so overall I’m happy with the performance. Price wise it’s on the high side as a home purchase but necessary I think if working from home and need a reliable solution. The sound quality is questionable. It wasn’t a factor for me but I use occasionally and find it lets the unit down with interference, intermittent connectivity and generally very poor sound quality in both head phones and desktop speakers. I wouldn’t recommend this device if sound connectivity is an important requirement. Others may have a different views and experiences.
