Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • Help! My screen/audio is stuck on one computer even when I switch to the other!

    • This is a simple fix: use the command sequence [hotkey] [hotkey] [r] [0] this will reset all the screens and audio to their default configurations.

  • Will the dual monitor KVM support 2 monitors that are 1920×1080 @ 144Hz refresh rate?

    • In theory the chipset inside the KVM switch does not support higher then a refresh rate of 60Hz, however testing and reports show the KVM working at 1920×1080 @ 144Hz on an ASUS VG248QE.
