Looking for KVM switch- was told that Display Ports fall asleep while in use

Hey there

I am looking for reliable KVM switch for 2 to 4 computers and at least 2 monitors per computer. I currently have Linkskey Dual monitor DVI KVM switch- it is 2nd I own and both of them continuously drop the mouse.
So I decided to go with Display Port KVM switch- because I bought Gigabyte 1060 graphics card that has 3 DP, 1 HDMI and 1 DVI which looks like it does not support dual link and I need dual link for my higher resolution monitors.
I found this web site that sales many brands of KVMs. the sales representative agreed to find right KVM for me. She sends me e-mail with |quote" and tells me that I should stick with DVI KVM because Display Ports known to fall asleep while in use. I appreciate the information but I am wondering- how bad is it? How often the DP falls asleep while in use? I found few threads on the internet about it, no solution. If DP is so unstable- why would NVidia put 3 DP ports on its graphic cards?

This KVM has 2 DP per ports but the monitors are connected by HDMI port. I am wondering if this is to address this issue. But then again- if it falls asleep at the computer end- changing it to HDMI would not help.

This one has 2x DP and DP for monitor connection.

Anybody here using KVM switch? How about Display Port? Can you tell me if your monitor falls asleep? Thank you.

Your problem is with the monitor being connected with HDMI. Display port doesn't play well with other port type. Connect display port to display monitor and you'll be fine.
