TESmart DisplayPort + HDMI KVM Switch 2 Monitors 2 Computers 4K@60Hz, Dual Monitor KVM Switch 2 Port Extended Display, EDID Emulators, USB 2.0, L/R Audio, Hotkey Switch, Button Switch with All Cables

Very excited to get this working! Plugging it in correctly, and it works, reducing the number of monitors, keyboards, & mice needed.

I really wanted this KVM to work. It's compact, has a metal case, comes with cables & remote control, and has a pleasing look. Packaging was well done - a step above generic product boxing. The item and included cables feel sturdy and worked well initially.I first connected a single 2K monitor with DVI-to-HDMI cable and it worked well. Then I removed the 2K and replaced it with a single 4K monitor and it worked with no problem. I connected video using both Displayport and HDMI ports and they both worked. When connected to my laptop, the KVM was smart enough to know when the laptop case was opened and adjusted its displays accordingly (laptop screen became primary, main screen became secondary) without losing previous icon location on the laptop screen. I was very pleased at this point.However, after a few days of light use the thing stopped displaying video completely. No matter if I used the Displayport or HDMI port, nothing would show up on the screen. Keyboard and mouse still worked, but video and audio (carried over HDMI) stopped working. Tried removing all cables and power cycling the unit but to no avail. Tried only connecting one computer/monitor, but still no video.I never had the chance to connect the 2K and 4K monitors together, so cannot comment on this functionality.When the KVM was operational, it maintained icon location when switching between computers and the switch itself was pretty quick (about 3 - 5 seconds). I really wanted this to work out, but it just didn't last - even with very light use. Returned for a refund.

I was going back and forth between a couple of different switches and I finally decided to pull the trigger on this. If it sucked I'd return it. I still have it and use it and the one click switch is great. Details below.I have a gaming laptop with a Rtx 3090 and a 2k 144hz monitor. Not losing this frame rate was my major concern. I also have a 1080p 140hz monitor for work. I decided to go with the hdmi/dp version since my work laptop has a Dell performance dock but I don't have that many dp ports coming out of my gaming pc. I was considering a dock or going usb-c to dp to just do dual dp but ultimately I just pulled the trigger on this one.Like I said I have the work computer running to a Dell performance dock via dual usb-c since I pick up and go often. From the dock is the supplied hdmi, a dp cable and the supplied USB cable into the kvm switch. On the gaming laptop I decided to go from the mini-dp with a mini to dp cable and a "4k" hdmi cable into the switch. I bought my own USB cable for the aesthetics.For peripherals I had to add a powered USB hub to the one non keyboard and mouse USB ports. I'm not sure what's going on there but when my corsair keyboard and my razer mouse were plugged into the dedicated keyboard and mouse ports they weren't just not rgb-ing they were non-functional. USB hub.. RGB and working. The only issue with this set up is the keyboard hotkey's do not work or at least I've been unable to get them to. The remote does the trick and is super easy.For viuals first make sure you have tried your devices in every layout( laptop open, closed, split between the pcs) before you start tweaking things. Windows seemed to reset my resolution alot the first few days. When it comes to performance on my work computer everything is almost identical. Every so often I'll see some visual lag when I'm doing a cpu intense task but its so few and far between if I stop looking for it I'll stop seeing it.Gaming though was a struggle at first. For whatever reason getting over 120fps was causing severe articfacting, I know it's not "rated" for 2k 120 but this is 2022 baby so I'm pushing the boundaries. I've been successfully gaming with no artifacts at 125fps on Warzone 2. Valhiem pegged at 144fps, Witcher 3 around 130fps and it looks beautiful. The games lost about 5 frames so if that's what you're going for just know you're losing some. The trick truly was upgrading the hdmi cable and ensuring the games are in full screen exclusive(this would reset like I said before). The artifacting comes back once a while but a quick restart or unplug and plug of the hdmi from the gaming pc straightens it out.I'm happy so far. Switching off the work pc was a big deal for work life balance and not seeing anything when I'm trying to have my time the same place I work is good enough for me, even if I lose 5frames in warzone lol. I would recommend this switch.

Well, I just got this KVM switch and have no issues with setup. Works great! Well, had to figure out that the audio came via the monitor and the HDMI cable so had to select the monitor as the output device.Wanted a KVM switch that handles audio and also with the EDID emulators...My computer wasn't waking up from sleep via the keyboard/mouse but then did a reset of the device and now that function works.Only negative is that 2 AAA batteries didn't fit into the remote so that accessory is unusable.

So I loved this KVM. Wprked amazing, easy to use, no issues. Now Almost exactly 2 years after I purchased it the USB ports stopped working. At first it was just one, then a couple weeks later another one. Now its to the point that I can't use my keyboard, mouse, or webcam with the KVM. Still works for the monitors but how long will that last. This is kinda a lot of money for something that will only last 2 years... :(
