CKL 922HUA-5 Review
The CKL 922HUA-5 is a 2-port HDMI 2.1 KVM switch supporting dual monitors, 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz, a USB 3.0 hub, and both extended and mirrored display modes.
HDMI 2.1 bandwidth is what makes 8K@60Hz or high-refresh 4K@144Hz possible here, putting this switch well ahead of the HDMI 2.0-based competitors that cap out around 4K@60Hz. Dual monitor extended mode means both displays stay active and usable as a single desktop across whichever computer is selected, rather than forcing a single-display workflow common on cheaper dual-monitor switches. Versus the JCYMELE 4K@144Hz KVM Switch, that matches the 144Hz refresh ceiling on a single monitor, worth it for buyers who don't need dual-monitor support. Versus the CKL 622DP, that's DisplayPort-based without 8K support, worth it for buyers already on a DisplayPort monitor setup.
