USB 3.0 DisplayPort + HDMI KVM Switch 4 PCs 2 Monitors - 4K@60Hz

In this review the USB 3.0 DisplayPort + HDMI KVM Switch is presented for users who need to control multiple computers from one keyboard, mouse and pair of displays; the bottom line is that it is a practical, wellrounded solution for small offices and home workstations that need true dualmonitor switching and fast USB data. The unit shines when you must share two monitors between four PCs and still keep USB 3.0 peripherals and an audio/microphone path available. Setup takes a few cable swaps and a quick Windows+P output mode check, but once configured it noticeably reduces desk clutter and simplifies multicomputer workflows.

Key Features

• 4computer control: Lets one keyboard, mouse and one or two monitors manage up to four computers to streamline a multiPC desktop.
• Dual monitor support: Supports HDMI + DisplayPort dualscreen display when each PC and monitor support multioutput, enabling two shared monitors for up to four machines.
• Ultra HD 4K@60Hz: Can deliver up to 4K@60Hz image quality for extended or mirrored displays provided the connected GPUs and cables also support 4K@60Hz.
• USB 3.0 ports: Three USB 3.0 TypeA ports allow highspeed attachment of keyboards, mice, Udisks and other peripherals with up to 5 Gbps transfer rates and backward compatibility.
• Audio and microphone passthrough: Builtin 3.5 mm audio jack and mic interface with a DAC chip allow shared audio and recording devices between connected systems.
• Two switching modes: Front panel toggle and included wired remote give flexible, visible control with LED indicators for the active computer.

Who It's For

The switch is aimed at power users, IT technicians and home office workers who run multiple computers or laptops and want to share two monitors, input devices and audio without constant plugging and unplugging. It particularly benefits setups where one or more machines require high resolution output, since it supports up to 4K@60Hz when the GPUs, monitors and cables are compatible.

Users who only need a simple singlemonitor KVM or who cannot configure dualmonitor output on their computers should look elsewhere. Also, those who expect plugandplay 4K@60Hz without checking GPU and cable compatibility will need to confirm their hardware first to get the advertised resolution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Shares two monitors and three USB 3.0 devices among four computers, reducing desk clutter.
• Supports high resolutions up to 4K@60Hz and is downward compatible with lower resolutions.
• Includes wired remote and front panel switching with LED indicators for easy control.
• Builtin audio and microphone interfaces with a DAC chip for shared audio peripherals.

Cons

• True dualmonitor 4PC operation requires each computer to support multidisplay output and compatible cables, so extra configuration may be needed.
• Maximum 4K@60Hz depends on connected GPUs, monitors and DP/HDMI cables; users must verify compatibility.

Our Verdict

The USB 3.0 DisplayPort + HDMI KVM Switch is a strong choice for users who need to operate four computers from one dualmonitor setup while sharing USB 3.0 peripherals and audio. It delivers solid value for small offices and multitasking home setups when paired with compatible GPUs and quality cables, though prospective buyers should confirm dualdisplay support on their machines to get full functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it deliver 4K@60Hz on both monitors?
It can support 4K@60Hz, but only when each computer graphics card, monitor and DP/HDMI cables all support 4K@60Hz; check device specs and cables.

Do I need special cables or drivers?
Standard HDMI and DisplayPort cables that support 4K@60Hz are required for max resolution; the KVM uses USB 3.0 TypeA to B cables included and works with major OS like Windows, Mac and Linux without special drivers.

How do I switch displays after connecting?
Use the front panel toggle or the wired remote, and set the computer screen output mode (for Windows press Windows+P) to the desired display mode.
