PVBCTCSID HDMI KVM Switch for 2 Computers, 1 Monitor, 4K@60Hz

The PVBCTCSID HDMI KVM Switch shares one monitor, keyboard, and mouse between two computers, with four USB 3.0 hub ports. It offers front-panel and wired-button switching, but the listed 4K capability depends on suitable HDMI cables and the source gives inconsistent maximum-resolution figures.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The maximum-resolution details conflict: the feature text says 4K@60Hz (3840x2160), while the support answer says 4K@60Hz (4096x2160). The listing also alternates between 4 USB 3.0 ports and generic USB 3.0 cable/connection descriptions. Confirm the intended resolution and ports for your setup. It says to use HDMI 2.0 or higher cables and recommends high-quality cables no longer than 5 meters for 4K@60Hz. HDMI cables are not included. A brief black screen during switching is described as normal.

Less suited to
