- doctorhandshake 13d agoIn that case I’d need a 1080 physical display on the machine mirrored to the KVM. For the type of stuff I’m doing that’s a bad use of monitor / desk real estate.
- Forgeties79 13d agoSame complaint. The 1080p cap when mirroring is annoying and when it acts like a third screen it becomes a real nuisance.

- Forgeties79 13d agoThen you can’t see what you’re doing. It’ll run with the HDMI unplugged but at that point you’re undoing a core reason for using it to begin with.
- apitman 13d agoI think I misunderstood the original problem
- kllrnohj 13d agoit doesn't seem like Windows makes it easy, but it's not really required that mirror'd displays must have the same resolution. Sure can throw fancier and more powerful hardware at it, but this is something software could rather easily do
