Great space saving solution for home office
Moving servers from our office in KY to my home in Austin. Needed to NOT have a ton of monitors in the office so this works out great.

Ease of Use
Very intuitive to set up and use. Couple of minor issues. Screen was a little too bright. Caused a bit of resolution loss. Had to run CD/Owners Manual to figure out how to change the title per port. Otherwise it's highly recommended.

Great product, great price
This was one of the simpliest installs of this type of product I have come across in a while. Works great with newer and older servers.

Easy to use and works flawlessly
I've had other rackmounted KVM monitor devices from other vendors that I've paid much more for, that didn't work as well as this one. Simple to set-up, just connect the right wires to the devices you want to connect and boom, you're done. I've had absolutely no problems with this device. I would absolutely recommend this device to my colleagues.

Great value, huge benefit
Setup was easy, but make sure you purchase the correct KVM cables. Bought 3 of them - one for each of our warehouse locations.

Good KVM combo unit for rack mounted equipment.
Rack mounted servers (5) need KVM. Replaced 12 year old unit that was not working reliably. Easy to install, nice screen. Glad I purchased.

I would NEVER buy Tripp Lite KVM products ever again.
I purchased this device to replace a 16-Port unit that failed after 2 years. When I installed it in the rack and powered it up, I realized the Keyboard and Mouse didn't work. The keyboard caps lock is stuck on, and doesn't respond to any input. I registered the product on line, and submitted a support ticket, but I haven't received a response from the company to help me fix the issue, let alone troubleshoot the product. I have used many Tripp Lite products in the past with good results, but during the last 3 years I find many of their KVM products to have very poor quality or non-working out of the box. For this reason I will never again recommend Tripp Lite products.
