I have a 4 PCs-3 monitor KVM from Tesmart for about 2 years now. I only use 2 PCs now, but the 3 monitors (2 horizontal, 1 vertical) is magic for me.
Great video, thanks!
Wow great in depth video! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi david,
Hows the build going for the a4 h20 going?
I know you just bought it and cant wait for the video especially if you do air cool.
But i thought id let you know the formd t1 is about to release. I have already pre ordered one but they are doing another drop on the 17th april.
Would be awesome if you get one, i think its the best design and engineering sff case.
Mines coming next month!
I bought the tesmart kvm two years ago and it broke, I tried to contact them and they continued to solve the problem for me! So surprising! So I also bought their new dual monitor kvm, which works great now.
So Glad to hear they have great customer service, that can make or break a company!
@@MashITTech You got that right!
Great informative video. What I don't get is, why does it require 2 hdmis from each pc/laptop to kvm switch. Would have been ideal if it was just 1 cable from each.
With this dual HDMI KVM set up could I do the following ?
For the hot keys 3 and 4 where I’m using each monitor for separate input (mode where I’m just switching keyboard and mouse but have separate computers showing on each monitor) use the laptop as a “2nd” monitor of that input computer ?
For example…
monitor 1 = personal desktop
Monitor 2 = work laptop with it open like your mac and use that laptop screen as well so making dual monitor setup with the laptop and monitor 2 while having monitor 1 stick to personal computer
In this setup, I would essentially have a dual monitor solution of work laptop screen + monitor 2 and switch back and forth between this dual setup and the monitor 1 with personal computer
Good stuff!
Can you view multiple inputs at the same time on one monitor? I’m looking for a KVM switch that allows me to view 4 screens on my tv to take advantage of the screen space
Forged Alliance! I'm subscribing just for that.
haha nice to see another FA player
can u still have a dual monitor setup by just connecting youre dual monitors to the tesmart? or do u need a pc to make this work?
Another good video. I use one of these Tesmart KVM to share monitor, keyboard, and mouse between my r13 and x17. It’s very convenient. The remote is nice if you want to put the KVM out of site. I have it near my router and modem under the desk so the remote comes in handy. I was pleasantly surprised at how well these Tesmart kvms work as u read some poor reviews. But I think those that had trouble just didn’t fully understand their requirements so they might not have selected the right model for them.
Thanks mate, and yes I guess it could be difficult for an average user to A. choose the right KVM and B. set it up as it looks quite daunting when you look at all the ports :)
Would it make sense to use a dock station instead of running multiple cables directly from the Macbook? That way, if you need to unplug and take your Macbook with on the go, you just have one or two cables to deal with?
One device rules them all!
Hey man how this can be achieved in PBP mode ?
Picutre by picutre , because my Samsung monitor has it but it doesn’t share the keyboard and mouse.
I was thinking to purchase hdmi matrix and then attach kvm switch to it, please help
Hello - quick question to you all. I have a USB-C monitor for my Macbook Pro and want to switch between that and my Windows work laptop. Will this solution work if I want to connect Macbook Pro directly to the monitor and then switch to my work laptop?
Any issues with gsync?
Thanks for this video, I will be sure to purchase through your link. Two Questions. 1. If I put a 3.5mm audio splitter in the audio out, then plug my speakers in one and a headset in the other do you think that will work. I know both would be running but I can mute one or the other on the actual device depending on which one I want to use. 2. Where did you get your very cool monitor riser, it would go great on my desk. You should have a link for that as well. Thanks again.
Hi Richard, glad it was useful. 1. That should work but you mention headset, do you plan to use the mic on it or just the headphones? 2. The monitor stand was from ikea but I don’t think they sell it anymore
sorry if i didn't understand ... will this allow for two separate laptops to switch between dual monitors. In other words the monitors are not mirroring but extended displays?
Correct. You can even have the laptop screen and two displays for each
what is the furniture you have the monitors on it
I need some advice. Im trying to connect both my Macbook (lid closed) and Playstation to one monitor. I want a clean desk with not much wires showing, will i be able to do that with a KVM switch? Any advice would be great!
have you already bought the monitor? If you haven't my advice is to get a monitor with a KVM built in such as the 4k 144hz gigabyte m28u, that will give you the cleanest set up
@MashITTech it looks like Tesmart is what I need. How are you connecting your microphone and your camera though? I use a Yeti X mic and a DSLR camera- I am right now connecting both using a USB-C to my Macbook ... but just got a windows PC and would love to have both working on it too... I am soon probably going to be getting a RodeCaster Pro II - have no idea how I would connect that.
This video is a little older now and all newer models come either usb3 which will make what you ask easier. I would either plug a small usb hub into the usb3 port on the TESmart if I needed to share more than 3 devices or if your monitor has a usb hub you can use that (this is what I do with my 4 port usb hub built into my dell 4K ultra sharp )
@@MashITTech makes sense, thank you.
Thank you for the video. May I ask the KVM support 60hz but my monitor is 240hz. Does that mean I will be getting 60hz?
It’s 60hz at 4K, if you have a 240hz 1080p it will do 240hz, not sure what you will get if it’s a 1440p 240hz as I haven’t got one on hand to test
question, i have a gaming laptop and a macbook. is there a way to not have to open my laptops everytime to turn them on? i want to keep them closed all the time without having to continue to pull them out under the shelf and moving all the cords...
As long as the laptops are in s3 sleep (not hibernate) and are set to wake from usb they should wake up as long as you set the switch to the relevant channel
this looks cool. I would love USB-C/3.0 instead of 2.0, but I could probably manage that with a separate USB switch.
sorry I just spotted the message, this was quite an old video and they now offer them with USB3 or A
Can I use the laptop with the laptop closed simulating a desktop computer with the kvm switch?
Yes for sure. On your laptop go into the power management and choose “do nothing” when lid closed
Might have missed it, but it should be noted that while you can connect it to a gaming PC, it is not ideal given that it supports only 60Hz. So anyone out there with 144hz monitor don't just buy this for the sake of using with the gaming PC. I connect my PC directly to the monitors via DP, and use the HDMI ports for kvm.
you should be able to get more than 60hz` put of this switch! I was running my ultra wide via HDMI 2 at 120hz. The 4k 60hz is a bandwidth limit of the HDMI 2 port
Thanks for the informative video!
Is the performance / image quality compomised at all when connecting via this vs directly into the monitor?
sorry, I have only just spotted your message. No, its exactly the same as if you plugged the PC direct to the monitor
No worries at all, and thanks for the answer. That's really useful, now I'm considering picking one of these up!
Will this work with a PC(laptop)and Mac mini M2 hook up??
It sure will you will just need to get a usbc to hdmi for the second screen (definitely for the mini and probably for the pc but I don’t know what model you have)
I have a alienware 38" ultra wide 3840x1600, most KVMs only support 60hz refresh rate. Since I still game, does this unit support the 144hz? If not, can you recommend me one that does?
It won’t no due to a limitation on the hdmi port for your native 3800x1600 resolution. TESmart do make a DisplayPort version which will resolve that issue as DisplayPort has much higher bandwidth
@@MashITTech Thank you.
@@MashITTech My M1 macbook has an HDMI port built in but my mouse is jumpy and can't see the refresh rate on the monitor, is that normal?
I have 2 monitors, One is 1440p @ 144Hz and 1080p @ 60 Hz. I have a gaming pc and a mac for work, would this switch be suitable? Thank you for your video. :)
This certainly should be depending on your Mac, what Mac are you using?
@@MashITTech Thanks for your reply, I have an M1 Macbook Air with a dongle for external montiors
the m1 air can only manage one external display so does your dongle allow for more than one display? I know there are some that do
@@MashITTech Sorry for the long reply, I'm still looking into some solutions. I learned you could get a DisplayLink capable docking station to get 2 external displays and pretty much works like a virtualized desktop (The docking station has its own graphics processor), this is what I would need for a 2nd monitor which I only use for chat applications, web browsing etc...
I did want to know if this KVM can handle 1440p@144Hz fine, wonder if it has any impact when it would come to gaming?
I have the same keyboard!
I have a Windows PC and a Mac M1 2021 with these peripherals:
1 USB Mouse
1 USB Keyboard
1 USB Microphone
1 USB Headset
Do you think that this KVM works well for me? I'm interested :D
Sorry for the delay, I have been so busy. I have used that exact setup. I guess you need two displays which is why you are looking at this one?
@@MashITTech exactly! My problem is that this store don't delivery to Brazil :c
I bought this on recommendation and my screen is blurry and it doesnt work when my laptop is closed - not sure what is causing this
can you let me know what laptop and cables you are using? It definitely shouldn't be blurry
I got 2 macbooks, how can I get them both to work with this device?
Should I buy 4 adapters?
What MacBooks have you got? (Year and model) then I can help you 😀
@@MashITTech M1 macbook and a 2019 intel one
so if I have a 100hz display does this mean the max my setup with this switch will be 60hz?
It depends on your resolution. It can do 1080p or 1440p at high refresh but not 4K due to the limitation on the hdmi. They do sell a display port version which can do 4K high refresh
@@MashITTech ah.. of course.. 4k 🤪
I bough the KVM but am having resolution problem with my ultrawide monitor. I am using M1 Macbook, any help??
what ultra wide have you got? has it got an HDMI 2.0 port?
@@MashITTech I have the LG 34WN80C-B UltraWide Monitor 34. My gaming PC works just fine. I also have the same problem when I plug in work laptop, which is HP Zbook. The display link drivers are updated. I am using the Dell D3100 docking station as well
@@frodobe_tbaggin3146 I also encountered a similar problem before, the ultra-wide monitor was only used on one of the computers, and then I found the official TESmart customer service, they gave me some suggestions such as cross-experiment. maybe you can try to contact them as well
I hate when you switch away from a computer and the computer adjusts accordingly, this makes programs like premiere crash! I need a kvm that "fools" the switched away computer into remaining active, I can do this by first running each output to an hdmi splitter but it degrades the image!
Oh that’s interesting. I will have a play with mine and see if I can find another solution
That price tho... You can get a generic KVM box with all the same ports for fairly cheap online. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for something flashy like this but we're talking literally 7x the price.
HOW TO SWITCH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE BETWEEN 2 PCs..??
Using either the included remote control, the button on the TESmart unit or a keyboard hotkey
I just picked up the m15 r7 max spec is it good?
Yes it sure is, did you see my review? A big upgrade on the r6 :)
How much fps will it get on fortnite low settings
I didn’t play fortnite, let me download it
Thank u so much
Can you have 4 computers on 1 screen using this switch ?
not with this one, this one is for 2 screens shared between 2 computers! TESmart just sent me a usbc kvm that can switch 3 machines between a monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers, would that be any good or do you need 4? The video is not live yet but here is a sneak peak: th-cam.com/video/K0Bmdkt3BA4/w-d-xo.html
After 18 months, I guess you still get the occasional click thru and purchase. Clicked through you and bought a 4 input/1 output KVM switch. Decent price I guess.
thank you, and yes, we get the odd click through and it really helps keep us afloat as TH-cam revenue is pants :) if you get any questions just ask away.
Is there any cheaper alternative to this? 230 + delivery is pricy
:)
I have not found one if you want a KVM with 2 displays! You can buy much cheaper if you want a KVM for just one screen
If I remember correctly, the tesmart website often has promotions. I saw this product a few days ago for just over $180. Almost $50 cheaper!
What sucks about all TEsmart KVM switches is that *none of them use USB 3.* They all come with USB 2.0 support, even the newer ones. It's shame for their KVM switches seem to come with the right specs for every need. *I am not buying USB 2.0 devices in 2022.*
What is the advantage of USB 3.0 for KVM?
@@nebojsa1976 The fact that we are already onto USB C and 3.1, and that they are quote 10x faster than USB 2.0 which is what new products will be built to spec for, so it's not going to be very fast nor future-proof buying something for £200+ with USB 2.0s
extra points for FAF
haha
Don't like the big power brick it comes with where it covers up more than one outlet due to its size.
That is the trouble with PSUs, they are often bulky but in this day and age they should be able to include a more compact one for sure! I do have a contact I speak to at Tesmart so I will send them this feedback
What's that Keyboard? :)
That's the nuphy air75 (I have reviewed the air75 and the smaller air60, both amazing keyboards)
Air60: th-cam.com/video/oz8VwNei7dQ/w-d-xo.html
Air75: th-cam.com/video/v0xiR_EQFSI/w-d-xo.html
Nuphy gave me a 10% discount code if you buy it from them too, use Mash10 if you want one :)
is that Mac an M1 or an Intel?
It’s an m1 pro 16”
I’ve never gotten the hot keys to ever work. Two different keyboards.
Hmm that’s odd, it worked for me but I found it easier to use the remote. I will have another play with the hotkeys and maybe I can take a look with you? Add me on insta if you want help
It's so hard to find a solid high quality KVM.
Yes it is. What are your requirements? I am now looking for a kvm that can handle my 4K 144hz monitor so I have the guys at TESmart sending me something that will hopefully work for me!
@@MashITTech if you find one that with Display Ports I'm set lol! Thanks for this video!
1 or 2 screens?
@@MashITTech Out of curiosity, did you ever find one that fits this spec?
just bought this and it frequently drops usb connections. this is within 12 hrs of use. would not recommend
you clearly have a faulty unit! I have had a few now and none have dropped USB. Can you get it exchanged?
@@MashITTech yes i can return it for a full refund. good to know usb drop is not normal
no mic jack smh
No, but I just used a Logitech usb to mic and audio jack, works perfectly in my set up
@@MashITTech the funny part is I actually bought and returned this device anyway. It didn't work well for me :(
why dont just get monitors with built in kvm????
Would be nice if it fucking worked
Total waste of time and money. Bought directly from the manufacturer. Very slow in changing from PC1 to PC2, sometimes not even identifying monitors, a restart is required, slows down both connected PCs, etc... it has been overadvertised, but not really worth it
Wow, are you sure yours wasn’t faulty? Mine was quick to change sources! And what do you mean slows down both pc? How is that possible the pc just sees it as a monitor?
@@MashITTech "slow down" here refers to keyboard and mouse response through Bluetooth dongle, changed couple pairs, with different USB versions, still the same
oh how annoying! I do not get any with my 2.4ghz dongle. I don't have a bluetooth dongle to test. Have you reached out to their support? Maybe there is a firmware upgrade or the unit is faulty :(
@@MashITTech good question, in case you figure out how to do that except talking to some dull chat bot please share the info with me :)
I have a contact, let me fire him a message 👍
