I have a 3D monitor, which requires a "double" dvi wire to enable the 120hz refresh.I wonder if using this KVM will let me still use 120hz?

Sorry, anything that I might say about this would be strictly a guess. I can tell you that my Logitech G11 keyboard does not recognize the additional gaming keys, but does function completely normally as a standard keyboard. There is definitely processing of the digital signals passing through the switch.

In addition to Nick's comment on the IOGEAR specs, I note under "key features" in Amazon's listing "Single link DVI resolution up to 1920x 1200 @ 60Hz". I read that as no support for Dual-link DVI.

The specs on Iogear's site say 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz; DDC2B. So my guess is no.

If by "double" you mean dual dvi, then yes it will work. The connector is dual dvi. My 3D monitors run at 60

I don't believe you can, this KVM is manual and it does not have the ability to control more than two (2) devices an any time.

No. This cable is a USB cable and VGA cable that just happen to be glued to each other. This is supposed to be used with a KVM switch but should work generically of you happen to need these cable connectors orientated as-is, unlikely as that might be.

Technicaly it is only 1 single product. The cables are not interchangeable. The KVM wires are all hardwired.That being said, it is a very simple and straight forward KVM for 2 computerseconds to 1 monitor.

If the KVM has a DMS-59 output, probably. You can see a photo of a DMS-59 connector on Wikipedia.

It works fine with Dual-Link DVI (which I use) and Display Port. Everyone who has problems is using HDMI, which is designed to only support resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz (1080p). HDMI does support higher resolutions, like 4K, but only at much lower refresh rates (30 herz or 24 herz). HDMI also supports frame-packing (for three-dimensional television) and other features commonly found in televisions but not necessarily computer monitors. HDMI was designed by the television industry, so it supports the resolutions and frequencies used by televisions, but not necessarily the ones found in computer monitors. Or to put it in layman's terms - you should be using a cable and connection with a computer monitor that is designed for a computer monitor (DVI, Dual-Link DVI, or Display Port). Although there is a lot of overlap between television technologies and computer monitor technologies, they are not the same. So don't be surprised if a computer monitor has problems using a connection and cable that is designed for television when operating the monitor at resolutions or refresh rates that are not commonly found in televisions.

Your monitor must have 120 hz display or it will not work, it is unlikely that your laptop has this. If you hook it into a monitor with 120 hz you can use that.

I am currently using one on a 4 port KVM it works great. That said it might depend on the KVM. If it has a USB port I would give it a shot.

I'm not sure which version it is, but I wouldn't recommend this KVM switch. I had problems with it from about the second week I started using it. About every other time I used it, I had to unplug all of the cables in it and then plug them all back in to get them to work. I finally gave up on it and ordered a Tripp Lite one that worked fabulously for me.

You're mixing apples and oranges. It's the HDMI 1.4 ports that can only accept a maximum resolution of 3,840x2,160p30 (or 3,840 by 2,160 @ 30 frames per second) assuming 24-bit color because the bandwidth is not wide enough to handle any more than that. HDMI 2.0 (standard just agreed a few months ago) doubles that bandwidth to accommodate 60 fps keeping everything else constant. You're talking about the refresh rate when you mention 120Hz meaning that the TV is refreshing its picture faster than the fps rate of the source material. As of right now, there is no 120 fps video that I'm aware of, but it's supposed to be the standard for UHTV (4k) whenever they start producing 4k native content. Of course, at that point, not even HDMI 2.0 will have a sufficiently wide bandwidth to handle the 120 fps content at 4k resolution. The short answer to your question is that it's not the TV or its refresh rate, but rather the limit of its HDMI ports that is the problem with the current generation of 4k sets.

This is a great KVM switch, But I found that I could not mix DVI and VGA inputs. It had to be all VGA or all DVI.

Yes, I have no trouble with its operation. It works well with my KVM switch running Vista on one computer, Windows 8 on the other. The new computer uses DVI output only so Im using a DVI - VGA convertor as well. There are no PS2 connecters on the new on , that's the reason for the Belkin adapter.

I bought this one for my KVM fipper and found that it is an analog ( there are 4 holes on the right). It didn't work for my Dell monitor.

this monitor has 2 inputs VGA and DVIhow ever I would not consider this as double duty (look at J. Nicklin answer)

This is only a DVI-D Single-Link cable. The dual link cable can carry higher resolutions and more data due to their higher throughput. If your monitor is not more than 1080p (1920x1080) or WUXGA (1920x1200) @ 60Hz or less, this will work fine. If you are trying to use a 2K, qHD, or 4K monitor, then you will have to use either a Display port or at least the dual-link version of the DVI. Either that or deal with something like 17FPS.

I'm not sure. Basically, what you need to do is look at the "input plugs" of your DVI monitor and VGA source. If the plug is a male pin (pins sticking out), then you need a female on that part of the adapter. If the plug is a female pin (a flat surface with holes in it), then you need a male on that side of the adapter. In other words, if you have female DVI and male VGA, then you need an adapter with male DVI and female VGA. StarTech does make both kinds. I got one of each for each end of my cable. I do have a successful setup, but had to use my VGA monitor. I could not get the KVM switch-and-adapters to operate the DVI monitor with both computers. But it's been a while, and I no longer remember exactly what the problem was. Apologies for only being able to offer half an answer. Specifically to your particular question, you might need the other gender adapter, and there could be other compatibility issues. Good luck and best wishes.

I connected mine with dual-link DVI cable and it works fine. To get the high resolution it does need to be dual-link. You can tell if it by looking to see if it has pins in all 24 locations. Regular DVI will not support the high resolution. You can also use HDMI. It depends on the monitor and the graphics card what it supports. Hope this helps.
