QuestionAre all of the display inputs (USB-C, DP, 2 HDMI) compatible with the freesync premium features? I ask because my older monitor is only freesync premium compatible on one DP input, and Im not sure if thats still a thing these days.
Asked 2 years ago by PrettyKitty.
- Answer Hi PrettyKitty, Freesync will be supported on all the connectors! They will be limited to the max resolution supported by the connector. We recommend the use of DP as your main cable, HDMI works as well. USB C port can support external video but we would recommend using this exclusively for our KVM devices (laptops, tablets, phones) Hope this helps!

QuestionI am trying to connect 2 Mac laptops and the display is working well for the KVM switch but the keyboard and mouse are not working between 2 computers. I have a USB-enabled Mouse and Keyboard which is detected by one Mac but not by another one.
Asked 3 years ago by John.
- Answer I believe there are settings to allow this change of screen within the monitor itself. It only works for me using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with the sync available. Not all external accessories are capable of that feature.
