Rewired everything, updated firmware on gpu. Seems to work for now, had a weird thing when switching between ports but ill keep and eye on it and see if it stays working.
Have side issues to Tshoot (Linux TB3 Dock) but pretty sure the windows boot works (need to check since changes, side not XPS 15 even with it having a 1050ti it doesnt get the firmware for dp.
Nvidia has changed stuff in newer drivers assuming everyone has that fw update. So thatās annoying.
Interesting electrical noise issue not the KVMās fault but something for people to be mindful of.
As part of cable management I had a lot of wires cramped up in an Ikea wire shelf thing, an incandescent desk lamp cable was in there a long with DP cables, USB cables etc. Turning the light on/off would cause the smaller monitor to blank out for about 2 seconds then recover. Sometimes with power on, but 100% when turning it off (maybe an inductive kick creating a magnetic field in the 115v lamp line affecting DP signal to the monitor?).
Not sure if this is exacerbated by the fact my 970 dictates I use a DVI to DP adapter for the second feed into the desktop input of the KVM (maybe weaker DVI signal, maybe weaker signal out of the KVM, I didnāt trace the nest of wires the lamp 115vac ran by).
Anywho, when troubleshooting odd issues with your monitors, check for high power lines next to sensitive signal lines.
Typical Level 1 issue, its always layer 1!! I know I know, this isnāt networking thoughā¦
Yeah, I had similar issues with my audio cables recently.
The culprit
An hand me down, to give background light but maybe itās time to do the goodāole RGB light strip behind the back of the table.
Iām wondering about this too. Earlier up in this thread, it sounded like weād need new physical hardware, but the internals have the display ports/DSP on a daughter card which could potentially be swapped out.
I currently have a 10-bit/HDR display as well, and right now I have to pump HDR content through my PlayStation 4. I was wondering if there were any plans to sell updated internals to this to support a DP1.4 DSP chip.
Good day allā¦
@wendell The spring batch of KVM switches, for dual monitors. Do you happen to offer a pre-purchase program for this next round? Would hate to miss out on this.
Looking through this thread and details on the store page. Looks like I shouldnāt have to many issues?
Looks like people are getting Gsync to work with these KVM switches?
With this current setup, I should be keeping the total length of the DP cables from PCās to monitor to 4 meters or less?
Yep.
Not sure about this one, some people are reporting it working, some not.
Some people have reported (I canāt confirm) issues with higher bandwidths. Not sure if youāll run into an issue.
Iām actually looking at buying a similar display. If you wind up getting a KVM, can you report your findings?
absolutely, I can do thatā¦ I guess Iāll take my chances with the gsync. Appreciate the info.
Has anyone here attempted to solve the deficiencies of DP hot plug detection with a hardware adapter? Currently, the KVM isnāt of much use to me because I have to put my laptop to sleep every time I switch to it just to get the monitors to detect. I think a complicating factor is the laptop uses discrete graphics when an external display is attached and switches to iGPU when no external displays are detected. So, switching away to another output port on the KVM causes the hybrid graphics to toggle as well.
Anyway, I came across http://paleblew.blogspot.com/p/engdphpdma.html and am considering giving that a shot. Getting eight of them is going to be about 50% of the price of the switch, so Iām not wild about it. But I havenāt seen a better option come up. If someone does have a better option, please share 
I have one if anyone wants to buy. PM me. Never used.
Welcome to the forum.
If you want to sell something here your best bet is to make a thread in the B/S/T category. Note that the B/S/T has additional rules to help ensure all parties donāt have a poor experience.
Awesome. Thanks.
Hi,
In anticipation of the next batch of dual monitor KVMs being available in a month or two, I was hoping someone could help answer a very basic āhow do I use a KVMā question for me.
My set-up is as follows:
I have a work provided Surface Pro with USB 3 and a mini DisplayPort connections. I also have a home desktop with a GeForce GTX 750TI card with a mini-HDMI and two DVI connections.
Iād like to run a dual display setup (currently I have one monitor connected to the desktop). Iād like the KVM to allow me to:
It is this second use case (and the various permutations) that I am unclear about. Does a KVM provide this level of control? Any solutions to this?
Also, assuming I get the correct mini-HDMI, DVI and mini-Displayport adapters and I buy two monitors that have displayport, is there any reason why the Level1 KVM would not work with my setup?
Thanks for the help!
I have a couple of questions about the DisplayPort KVMs which are causing me to hold off on pulling the triggerā¦ Itād be awesome if someone who has used one could fill me in!
Can the USB HIDs be switched independently of the displays? e.g. displays on host 3, USB HID on host 1? Itās a feature of the Aten CS1944DP which I think Iād use a fair amount, and it would be a shame if it were missing from the Level1 KVM.
Likewise, can the audio be switched independently?
Thinking about it, being able to read a PDF copy of the manual would probably answer all my questions. Is there one freely available for download?
No.
Yes.
There isnāt really a manual. Somewhere in this thread, I covered most of the keyboard commands, which pretty much covered the gamut of itās capabilities.
My dual monitor KVM switch arrived. Happy to report everything is working great!
To recap on my current hardware
Nvidia Control Panel showing Asus monitor āG-Sync Capableā at 100Hz. Win10 also shows in the side panel notification that a G-sync monitor is connected.
Per @sanfordvdev post. Ordered the Club3D DP 1.4 cables. Pair of 1m(3.28ft) and 2m(6.56ft). Total length from PC to monitor 3m
I worked so hard on these. itās nice to know I fixed something. 
Hi everyone - new to the forums, so please forgive me for any formatting errors.
Iām looking into getting the 2-monitor KVM switch. The first monitor is a Dell S2716DGR. Itās a 144Hz, 1440p G-SYNC display. The second is just a 1080p 60Hz from Acer Iāve had for awhile, I can get the model number if necessary. I would also be connecting a keyboard, mouse, and a USB headset.
The first computer is my desktop, with a hybrid 1080 Ti as the video adapter running Windows 10, I can pass along more info if needed. The second is my work laptop. Itās a Dell Latitude, and it comes with Dellās E-port plus advanced dock. Hereās a link to the dock on Amazon.
The dock has two DP 1.2 ports, that would be going into the KVM switch. It has USB-3.0 Type A as well. From the pictures on the store website it looks that the KVM switch uses USB 3.0 Type-B. Would I be able to use a USB 3.0 Type B to Type A cable just fine then?
Assuming I use good quality DP cables, as that seems to be the biggest problem reported, do any of you foresee any bandwidth bottle-necking? Do you think the dock may be an issue at all?
