Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ 2-Port HDMI+VGA Dual Monitor KVM Switch with Extended Display, IR Remote Control, and Keyboard Mouse Computer Switcher by Johnny Burns

Doesn't work with my setup

The kit and various cables seem to be good, the packaging was sufficient and not overloaded and the installation instructions were correct. The problem I had was related to video switching. I have a 2-27" LG with 3840 x 2160 resolution. My goal was to be able to use both monitors at the same time and be able to switch between the two machines. Unfortunately, LG monitors only have one display port. I configured KVM so that each Computer with 1 monitor display port being used as the primary and HDMI port as a secondary I never managed to get the setting to work, none of the monitors worked, switching between them resulted in a psychedelic display reminiscent of something from the 60's. I switched cables, hooked monitors to another computer, and practiced my vocabulary with short, meaningful sentences. Couldn't get it to work at all. Long story short, I got KVM back and am still looking a system I can get working. If you have a system with monitors that are more dislayport friendly than mine, this might work for you.

Pros
  • โ™›Plug and play, no driver needed - Suitable for computers with 2-port interface port VGA+HDMI outputs, and supports 2-screen or multi-screen functions (It doesn't support independent display + centralized display mode) notebook/computer low version; If the computer only supports single-screen display, even with many output ports, this product cannot help you get dual-display function. Please note this before purchasing.
Cons
  • Some small things
