StarTech.com 4 Port High Resolution USB DVI Dual Link KVM Switch with Audio

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re in a UK office where people share a couple of “proper monitor” setups between PCs, this StarTech 4‑port KVM with audio is the kind of workhorse I’d consider. The big win is simple: dual-link USB DVI switching means it’s aimed at higher-resolution, older-but-still-common DVI displays where cheaper KVMs can feel like they’re cutting corners. Also, audio switching matters in real life—there’s nothing worse than swapping cables or living without sound just because you can switch the video.

That said, £287 ex‑VAT is only good value if you genuinely need a 4‑way switch and DVI/dual-link switching for high-res monitors. If your environment is mostly laptops or newer DisplayPort/HDMI gear, you may end up paying for compatibility you don’t actually use. I’d only buy this if you know your monitors are DVI and you want clean one-touch switching (including audio) without faffing around—otherwise you could likely get similar convenience with something more modern (and cheaper) for HDMI/DP workflows.
