Who each one is for
Take the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM for gaming-first dual monitor setups specifically needing verified 4K@144Hz and G-Sync passthrough. It is not the one for buyers without high-refresh-rate monitors or G-Sync displays, a standard 4K@60Hz KVM covers typical office use for less. The SIIG 4-Port HDMI 2.0 4K HDR Smart Console suits buyers who want every cable included in the box and USB 3.0 peripheral speeds across the shared hub, though it is the wrong buy for budget two-PC setups (this is priced and specced for four) and DisplayPort-native source machines. The same goes for Four-PC desks wanting full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth at 4K60 with HDR. Our rating of the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM (9/10): the best gaming KVM, verified 4K@144Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 with G-Sync passthrough and a dedicated DC power adapter. Our rating of the SIIG 4-Port HDMI 2.0 4K HDR Smart Console (6.4/10): A 4-port HDMI 2.0 4K HDR smart console switch, SIIG's most capable multi-PC model in this lineup.
