Displayport KVM Switch 1 Monitor 2 Computers - 4K@60Hz Dual Control

In this review of the Displayport KVM Switch 1 Monitor 2 Computers, the bottom line is simple: this unit is best for a single-monitor workstation that needs clean, reliable switching between two desktops or laptops while keeping peripherals available. The reviewer found the main advantage to be the DisplayPort 1.2 support that delivers 4K@60Hz video with intact color (4:4:4) while also providing a built-in USB 3.0 hub to share storage and printers. Its included desktop controller and power adapter make setup straightforward for users who want a plug-and-play KVM without complex configuration.

Key Features

• Dual-computer control: Switch two computers to one monitor, keyboard, and mouse using DisplayPort and USB connections for a tidy dual-system desk.
• 4K video support: DisplayPort 1.2 compatibility delivers crisp 4K2K@60Hz output with 4:4:4 chroma for detailed visuals and accurate color.
• Integrated USB 3.0 hub: Four USB 3.0 ports let you attach external drives, printers, or other peripherals and share them between hosts.
• Desktop controller included: The external desktop controller button provides quick, tactile switching without reaching to the unit.
• Complete package: Ships with the required USB cables and a power adapter so it is ready to use right away.

Who It's For

The DisplayPort KVM Switch suits professionals who work with two computers at one desk - software developers, content creators, or IT technicians who need full-resolution DisplayPort output and shared USB peripherals. It is also appropriate for users who want a simple, hardware-based switch with an external controller rather than network or software KVM solutions.

It is less well suited for users who require more than one monitor or need advanced audio switching and KVM management features; multi-monitor setups or environments demanding integrated audio routing would be better served by a different model.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable 4K@60Hz DisplayPort support provides excellent picture quality for single-monitor setups.
• Four USB 3.0 ports offer fast peripheral and external storage sharing between hosts.
• Included desktop controller and necessary cables make setup quick and user friendly.

Cons

• Only supports a single monitor output so it is not suitable for multi-monitor workflows.
• The unit relies on DisplayPort 1.2 and USB power options which may require adapters on some newer laptops.
