Just came across this today. I needed to set up a KVM switch to use 2 different PC's for work but share the same keyboard an monitor. Here is the exact one I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7V9N88P I hooked it up, and have no idea why but the windows 10 desktop that would previously trigger my eyestrain in a few seconds if I wasn't patching is now almost 100% symptom free. An extremely noticeable level of difference. I just spend an hour on the PC unpatched and have almost zero symptoms. Worth giving a shot to see if it helps

some EDID manipulations? you can connect your monitor, then clear EDID with CRU to let win10 work without color-conversion etc

simplex Beats me. I don't even know what EDID is. I just plugged it in and was shocked that it was better

Maybe it forces it to use a lower quality link. Check the color mode, and if you got the time compare the EDID that can be exported in BetterDisplay as well.

How do you get that screen? If it is software I cant install it this is a work computer

ensete That's a Mac software as well, so not relevant to your setup.

I have to say this is pretty amazing, I've been using Windows 10 unpatched for 6-8 hours a day for over week now with minimal symptoms. If you have any Windows 10 issues, give it a shot. Best $35 I ever spent.

I've ordered one… but it's 8-10 days away.

ensete I have to say this is pretty amazing Could you send EDID data of your monitor, with, and without switch…? https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU In CRU, press export and save EDID's bin file, then same but via switch. I will compare difference

ensete I don't even know what EDID is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Display_Identification_Data Data transferred from the monitor to the host device to configuration resolutions, color depth, refresh rate, etc. It's how the host device even knows any of those parameters in the first place, without (usually) needing manual configuration.

ensete I just ordered one. Will report back. This would be a lifesaver for me.

Random Find: Use this KVM significantly helped with Win 10 symptoms

Sunspark

DisplayPort to port type adapters generally tend to be better because they have more bandwidth to work with but there are still caveats.. one dock I have won't work with dual-mode adapters.. needs to be single-mode.

Try changing your refresh rate to 50 Hz. See if that changes anything for you.
