KVM Switch Monitors: One Switch to Control Your PC and Mac^® System

A KVM switch is a hardware device that lets users control multiple computers with one or more sets of peripherals, keyboards, monitors, and mice. This technology offers different methods of connecting to computers and reduces the need for multiple keyboards and mice on a desk.

A KVM switch on a monitor directly integrates the KVM switch into the monitor itself for convenience. This means you can connect several computers to a single monitor and switch between them using the monitor's built-in KVM features. BenQ’s KVM monitors also have features such as USB-C connectivity, making system swapping even smoother.

KVM monitors bring several advantages to the table in comparison to regular monitors. A few examples of these benefits are:

• Space Saving: Reduces the need for additional peripherals, decluttering your workspace.
• Cost-Efficient: Eliminates the need to purchase extra keyboards, mice, and monitors.
• Convenience: Simplifies switching between different systems with a single control setup.
• Efficiency: Enhances productivity by allowing seamless transitions between tasks on different devices.

KVM monitors are a great investment overall and offer specific benefits for different fields of focus.

Working across multiple devices for creating, editing, and previewing creative works can be tiring. Switching from a MacBook to a desktop PC and then to another device for final previews often disrupts the workflow and wastes time. KVM monitors streamline these transitions, enabling you to move seamlessly between devices with a single control setup, helping you maintain focus on your creative tasks without interruption.

Testing code on different operating systems can be a hassle, involving starting Virtual Machines (VMs) or physically switching cables between a MacBook and Windows PC. These interruptions break concentration and waste time. KVM monitors eliminate these disruptions, allowing you to switch quickly and seamlessly between systems to reduce hassle, enhancing multitasking and coding efficiency. Ultimately, it can help you enter a state of flow and boost your productivity.
