I have two computers connected to one monitor:
– MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) via USB-C to DisplayPort cable
– Windows desktop with GeForce GTX 1060
– LG 27GN950 (3840 x 2160, 144Hz)
Both computers use 3840 x 2160 (2160p/4K UHD 1 – Ultra High Definition) at 120Hz. The MacBook is used for programming and has no stability issues. The Windows computer is used for gaming and occasionally exhibits some static lines or completely blanks off for a second.
When directly connected via a quality DisplayPort cable, these issues do not appear.
The device is well-made. I like the heaviness of the metal case and the LEDs are visible but not annoyingly bright. I do wish that the cable management was easier, without the wires sticking out of both sides.
If this product added a USB-3 / USB-C switch that was controlled by the same button (and had 4-6 downstream ports), it would be AMAZING.

Update 2022-10-04
I have since upgraded the computers:
– MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) via USB-C to DisplayPort cable
– Windows desktop with Radeon RX 6700 XT
I can now reliably run at 144Hz (variable). The Windows computer no longer has any flickering. There are occasional times where the monitor will not connect after waking from sleep and I have to remove the power cable to reset it. I have no idea if that is a monitor issue or a switch issue, however.
