does anyone have any experience using this with a higher resolution monitor, my monitor is 2560x1440

I have been using this KVM switch with a 34" LG monitor at 2560x1080 resolution for a couple of years now with no issues. It is curious that the specs say 1920x1080 max ... perhaps that's the highest resolution that IOGEAR will provide support for, but it seems like a number of people are using it successfully at higher resolution.

Manual link has changed. Current link as of 12/5/2018: https://www.iogear.com/support/dm/manual/GCS1794

Does this switch work for pre post to be able to enter fucntion commands and enter bios etc. prior to drivers loading?

I rebooted Ubuntu machine and pressed F1 to get into BIOS - no problem. Tried several times with Win10 but couldn't get into BIOS. I use a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with my 4 port IOGeear MiniVIew. I suppose if I wanted to get into Win10 BIOS, I'd just take the Logitech dongle out of the 4 port switch and into the Win10 PC.

How long are the cables?

There are 4 sets of cables with connections for USB2.0, HDMI, plus plugs for sound and microphone included, and each set is about 72 inches long. A nice feature are the sliding cable guides, that can be moved to adjust the separation of the cables to suit your computer port positions. The switch has worked well for several month, without issues.
