Compared side by side
The TESmart HKS801-L23 8-Port HDMI KVM Switch appears in this table next to models from other brands:
Who it's for
A homelab rack of servers or mini PCs used at 1080p or 1440p, especially with a PiKVM in front for remote access.
Caveats
- TESmart's title rates it at 4K 30 Hz. Buy the HKS801-P23 if you need 4K 60 Hz.
- Behind a PiKVM, 3 of 3 owners in one Techno Tim thread hit EDID or black-screen problems. They fixed them with an EDID adapter, an HDMI splitter, or by removing the 4K emulators.
- The default IP is 192.168.1.10 with no DHCP. You change it with TESmart's Windows utility, and the change takes effect only after a power cycle (PiKVM docs).
- USB 2.0 only. Fine for keyboards and mice, slow for drives.
- The price is a sale price; TESmart's list price is higher.
Affiliate link: if you buy through it, the merchant pays us a commission at no cost to you; that commission pays for the cart tests behind every code here. Price, availability and each code were checked on the merchant's own US store on the dates shown; they change, so the store's checkout is the source of truth. Full disclosure.
