Works very well in KVM Switches

I have this setup with two desktops and a laptop, with a shared large screen HDMI monitor and an old Samsung monitor. Worked out of the box with no problems. The biggest problem was the "Pidgin" manual in English.

Pros
  • 4-in-2 Dual Monitor KVM for Computers and Laptops VGA + HDMI: Control up to 4 computers or laptops from one set of keyboard, mouse and 2 monitors, the extended or duplicated dual monitor display supported; This requires every computer and laptop to have both HDMI and VGA output interfaces while supporting extended display. Constructed in a high quality anti-jamming protective metal case.
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Works but has some quirks

It's a pity that when using hotkeys you didn't have to press <Enter> after each command Using the Switch's warning that Windows 10 moves windows when switching between monitors We ended up using the PersistentWindows program to keep windows from moving again, not ideal but unless MS fixes it that's all we can do.

Pros
  • Enjoy high resolution with automatic EDID and audio support: supports 4K@30Hz ((3840*2160@30Hz) high quality images, also supports 4K@60Hz monitors, but outputs 4K@30Hz for HDMI , supports 2048*1536 @ 450Mhz for VGA, with EDID button to manually set the desired resolution, with separate audio and microphone output
Cons
  • Appearance

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product didn't work.

The screen was blurry when signaled through this device. This is not a problem with a direct connection. It looks like a problem with the VGA and HDMI ports. I tried 3-4 cables from the pack and had problems with all of them.

Pros
  • Cross-platform and cross-device support, driverless plug and play: Fully compatible with Windows 10/7/2000/XP/ and Mac; also supports HDMI devices such as webcam, hard drive player, game console, DVR, NVR, etc.; With an additional USB 2.0 port for sharing USB printers, scanners and jump drives; supports most wireless keyboards and mice.
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected

Doesn't work as promised

Came without instructions. Previous bad reviews popped up in my mind, but . How difficult would it be to use KVM? The answer in this case is VERY. Unless you want to use it with a monitor, a computer, no keyboard and no mouse. Despite online resources, I could not see a keyboard. (wired or wireless) and display the selected input for more than a few minutes. In 10 minutes tuned to input #4 it switched back to input #1 3 times. So I'm bringing it back and am now looking for something thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Convenient switching modes: 1. Mouse click switching: 2. Hotkey switching on keyboards that support all operating systems; 3. Front panel button selection; four; Automatic scan switch with adjustable time interval from 8 to 999 seconds.
Cons
  • stupid

Works but has quirks

Wish it weren't necessary to press <Enter> after each command when using hotkeys. In the end only with the switch. A word of warning that Windows 10 will move windows around when switching between monitors. As a result, I used the PersistentWindows program to keep the windows from moving back. Not ideal, but if MS doesn't fix it, that's all we can do.

Pros
  • Cross-platform and device support, Plug and Play without drivers: Fully compatible with Windows 10/7/2000/XP/ and Mac; also supports HDMI devices such as webcam, hard drive player, game console, DVR, NVR, etc.; With an additional USB 2.0 port for sharing USB printers, scanners and jump drives; supports most wireless keyboards and mice.
Cons
  • The list will be long.
