What is the compatible DVI-I LCD monitor for this switch? I only see DVI-D monitors on the market and want to connect KVM to VGA and DVI-I computers.

I am not sure. I can tell you what I have. Samsung 245T. Hopefully that helps.

If I understand correctly it can work. So the PC1 has a monitor connected directly to it. It also has a second monitor port currently connected to monitor 2. You want to connect this second monitor port to say PC1 input on KVM and the 2nd monitor itself to the common (output) on the KVM. Also connect a second PC to PC2 to share monitor 2. Should work.

Yes it does. And, it plays well with converter cables too. My PCs have VGA and DisplayPort and this KVM has VGA and DVI. Used AmazonBasic DisplayPort to DVI cables, works great.

i bought this keyboard.. logitech illuminated keyboard, and am in dire need of a kvm switch. 4 port can anyone tell me which kvm to get that will allow for the backlighting, and ALL FUNCTION KEYS to work? from my research it's tough to find kvm switches that will allow function keys\volumeup\volumedown etc to work.Any tips PLEASE?!thanks For any Info.

I wouldn't think that will work. There is only one 15 pin video connector per input or output. I cant rule out doing a USB to video adapter as monitor 2 and using the usb switch in the KVM, but that sound pretty complicated. they do make dual display KVM-just do a search. This is not a dual display unit.

A fully populated DVI connector (DVI-I) has distinct pins for both an analog signal and a digital signal. Computers with DVI output usually send signal out on both. All the DVI/VGA adapter does is re-route the analog signals to a VGA style of connector. It does not convert from analog to digital. HDMI, on the other hand, only has the digital video signals. The unpleasant reality is that it makes no sense to convert from HDMI to DVI and then to VGA. The HDMI connector will be hooked up to the digital pins on the DVI connector and the VGA connector will be hooked up to the analog pins, and no signal will pass between the HDMI and VGA. I've seen the same problem with trying to put a DVI/VGA connector on each end of a DVI cable in order to use it as though it was a VGA cable. Most DVI cables only provide wires on the digital pins and so the resulting creation has no actual connectivity between the VGA at each end. -Henry

Edited answer: Monitor is VGA, no this will not work. HDMI and DVI are both digital signals. VGA is analog. DVI carries additional VGA pins that can be adapted to VGA, but those pins to not exist in a VGA header. You need a specialty adapter or a DVI/HDMI capable monitor for this to work.

Please elaborate. Kvm switch gives you the ablity to connect two pc's and have them be connected to the kvm switch so you use only one monitor for two pcs. Mine is setup on my pc so my main display is hdmi and my secordary is this so i can quickly switch between pcs if im repairing one.

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.

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.

These monitors have a DVI and an VGA connection. DVI and HDMI are digital, where VGA is analog. I would go with an HDMI to DVI cable to add to your existing DVI cable.

The monitor itself only has 1 VGA and 2 HDMI ports, no DVI ports. It comes with an HDMI to DVI cable so you can plug a DVI device into one of the HDMI ports.

Its Intel HD Graphics 4600 only have two slots for monitor: DVI and old VGA version, I guess if you want to support more monitor you need to buy a card graphic for it, and I haven't seen any switch for that outside of the case.

Do you mean VGA? For my set up, I may have used cable with DVI on both ends so I can't say I remember a VGA connection.There are adapters for DVI to VGA so something like this should work:Generic DVI-I Dual-Link (M) to 15-Pin VGA (F) Adapter

My friend, TRENDnet cables are standard or universal, no problem in using another KVM switch, but you have to observe the detail if they accept the DBI KVM-15 to USB conversion and the best way to do it if you do not specify the equipment, is tested directly. We have tested and works. Luck!!

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.

Yes. At my workplace, I am using an HDMI Monitor, thus it won't work with the VGA outputs of the KVM. So, yes, I use it in order to eliminate an extra keyboard and mouse from cluttering the desk...
