Just plugged in with the cable i ordered supporting 4k60 and it worked with 4k144. Yes at the KVM, works well just a bit slow to power up k/b from sleep.
Cheers maybe I need a new cable.. have same the same slowness waking too..
Possibly, vague memory but i'm sure i tried a few onhand USB-C cables i already had inc some '65w' ones but they didn't support above 4k30. Searched the Rainforest and grabbed one listed as 4k60 video. Figured nothing to lose because if it didn't work at that i'd just send it back at no cost / loss.

Yeah the kvm lag is irritating but liveable and hope it improves with fw.
Does the laptop charge as well with that cable?
No, afaik the USB port on the monitor only supports 15w PD
MU28 PD spec :
1x USB Type-C
(5V/3A, 9V/2A,
12V/1.5A, 15V/1A)
Yeah these cables are finiky and you might need to search till you find a good one sometimes!

I use my Macbook via USB-C and could get 120hz @ 4K with the original firmware but both of the latest versions have limited me to 60hz. I was advised by gigabyte to downgrade if I wanted the higher hz for now but i've not bothered.
I have a question about this monitor.
Has anyone found out why you can't get the full brightness without turning on Local dimming?
I've found local dimming to be a little annoying, i feel it messes with colours a bit and don't like the 'tuning up/down' it seems to do in games when going from light to dark places.
But with local dimming off, the screen doesn't seem too bright. Is there a way to get full brightness and turn off that feature?

You can set the KVM to switch between devices with one press and share all attached usb but one must use USB-C as it’s upstream and the other use the USB-B as it’s.
So I used USB-C with my MacBook for data and display and then DisplayPort and USB-B for my PC and share microphone, mouse and keyboard across them both with a single button press

Sounds like it will work then, thanks for the answer. Mine would be a similar set up, I need to share webcam and headphone adaptor but I guess if the keyboard is detectable then everything else should be too.

I find MacOS can get confused when I switched between devices while something like a microphone or webcam is in use, but usually because it doesn’t expect it to just vanish like that 
Other than that it works really well, I even daisy chain a number of USB hubs with loads of stuff.

Thanks! Sounds good. I have a KVM switch and USB hub sprawled across the desk at the moment so would be a bonus to tidy that up!I find MacOS can get confused when I switched between devices while something like a microphone or webcam is in use, but usually because it doesn’t expect it to just vanish like that

As far as I'm aware there are no fans in this monitor. It's perfectly silent.

F07 has been out for over 2 months now, IIRC F06 was pulled because of some bug with DisplayPort.
Cheers thanks for the letting me know - hard not to purchase it now ;p

Apart from it never being back in stock
