ATEN USB DisplayPort Dual Display Secure KVM; 3M USB DisplayPort Dual Display

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At this price (£56.90 ex-VAT), an ATEN USB DisplayPort dual-display secure KVM is the kind of thing you buy when you’re trying to stop your desk from turning into a tangle of cables. The fact it’s built around DisplayPort and supports two displays is the real selling point for small offices—think finance teams, analysts, and admin staff who bounce between two PCs but need their full workspace on the monitors they already have. In day-to-day use, KVMs like this are most valuable when you want consistent “click-and-go” switching without manually re-plugging anything, and when you’re sharing a pair of screens with a bit more professionalism than a cheap switch box.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it blindly. At this end of the market, “secure” features and dual-display support can be very setup-dependent—usually on matching display resolutions/refresh rates and the way the two connected machines negotiate DisplayPort. If your PCs vary (one is a laptop with quirks, or you’ve got unusual monitor settings), expect some tweaking before it feels seamless. Also, if you only need to swap one monitor, you’re likely paying for capabilities you won’t use. Overall: great value for a standard, compatible dual-DisplayPort setup where people actually benefit from having both displays available when switching. If your environment is mixed or fussy, it’s worth checking compatibility first.
