ATEN CS1914 (4-Port USB 3.0 DisplayPort KVMP Switch, Cables Included / $357.00, was $476.00) Review
Looking at the ATEN CS1914 4-port USB 3.0 DisplayPort KVM switch, here's what it actually offers over the 2-port CS1912.
It's the same DisplayPort 1.1, 4K30 core as the CS1912 but stretched to 4 computers on one monitor, keyboard and mouse. We'd point small-office and lab setups juggling four machines at it, just don't expect 4K60.
Scaling to Four Computers
The CS1914 keeps the same DisplayPort 1.1 DP++ video path as ATEN's smaller CS1912, capped at 3840x2160@30Hz, but adds two more computer ports for a total of four. Switching stays consistent across the family: front-panel buttons, hotkeys, or mouse scroll-wheel double-click.
USB, Audio & Cabling
A 2-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub and 2.1-channel HD audio switch alongside video. ATEN bundles four DisplayPort cables, four USB 3.0 cables, four audio cables and a power adapter, enough to wire every port on day one.
