4x1 HDMI KVM Switch w/Multi-Viewer - 4K 60Hz Quad Screen Divider

In this review the 4x1 HDMI KVM Switch with Multi-Viewer is evaluated for users who need to control multiple computers from a single monitor and set of USB peripherals. The bottom line: it is best for office users, streamers, and AV technicians who need seamless switching and a true 4K@60Hz multiview setup without constantly swapping cables. The device combines a KVM switch and a quad HDMI multiviewer, so the single biggest reason to buy is the ability to view or control four sources at once while sharing one keyboard and mouse.

Key Features

• 4 Port HDMI KVM: Lets four computers share one monitor and one keyboard and mouse, reducing cable clutter and improving workflow efficiency.
• Multi-Viewer Modes: Offers nine display modes including PIP, full screen, dual screen, trisection, and 4 equal screen mode for flexible layouts depending on the task.
• USB 3.0 Peripheral Sharing: Includes four USB A 3.0 cables to share high-speed USB devices among connected sources without manual reconnection.
• Wide Compatibility: Plug-and-play operation supports most HDMI sources like PCs, laptops, and streaming sticks for fast setup and broad use.
• Remote and Hot-key Control: Front-panel buttons, included IR remote, and hot-key switching provide multiple convenient control options from near or far.
• High-Resolution Support: Standard HDMI 2.0 ports support up to 4K@60Hz and backward compatible resolutions for sharp, smooth video.

Who It's For

The switch is ideal for small offices, broadcast booths, surveillance monitoring, and creators who need to monitor multiple sources on a single display while sharing a single keyboard and mouse. Anyone needing a reliable way to preview cameras, PCs, streaming sticks, or set-top boxes in different layout modes will find the multiviewer functionality especially useful.

It is less suitable for users who need networked KVM features, remote-over-IP control, or more than four inputs. Casual users who only switch between two sources may find the unit more feature-rich than necessary.
