No more swapping cables, no second set of peripherals cluttering your desk. One button press, and you&rsquo;re on the other machine.</p> <p>The KVM switch market has improved enormously in the last two years. USB-C models now support 4K@60Hz passthrough, and switching times have dropped to under two seconds. But there&rsquo;s a wide gap between the cheap HDMI boxes on Amazon and the premium DisplayPort units — and picking the wrong one means flickering screens, laggy peripherals, or resolution caps that make your nice monitor pointless.</p>
