IOGEAR GCS1924 4-Port USB 2.0 Mini DisplayPort Dual View KVMP Switch Review

IOGEAR GCS1924 4-port USB 2.0 Mini DisplayPort dual view KVMP switch, peripheral sharing, 2560x1600 resolution, Mac and PC desktop switch, dual monitor DisplayPort KVM

One of the few KVMs here built around Mini DisplayPort, which makes it the natural fit for Mac-heavy or DisplayPort-native desks running two monitors that need to follow whichever of four machines is active.

DisplayPort-Native, Not a DVI Adapter Bolt-On

Unlike switches that add DisplayPort via an adapter, the GCS1924 is designed around Mini DisplayPort from the start, supporting dual-view output at up to 2560x1600 per display without adapter-related signal loss.

KVMP Peripheral Sharing

Beyond keyboard/video/mouse, IOGEAR's KVMP design shares additional USB peripherals like printers or external drives across the four connected computers, not just the console devices.

Comparison to Alternatives

SmartAVI's DVI-based SM-DVN-4D-S covers dual-monitor switching at 4 ports for less money, but only for DVI-D, not DisplayPort, hardware. IOGEAR's own GCS1794 covers a similar 4-port count over HDMI with audio instead of DisplayPort if that connector matches the workstation better.
