The Pitch: These superfast 2- and 4-port HDMI KVMP switches offer USB 2.0 sharing, which allows them to support video resolutions of up to 1080p.

Pros: In addition to being the first KVMs with HDMI 1.3b compliancy, they feature two USB ports for easy device sharing, IOGear’s patented Display Emulation Technology, and asynchronous hotkey switching.

Cons: A steep price tag — $319.95 for the 2-port — may keep the average consumer away, but still may appeal to those in need of an HDMI-enabled KVMP switch

Recommendation: If you need to have the functionality of multiple machines, but only want to use one keyboard or mouse, look no further than this product. However, KVMP switches – even with HDMI – are not a new concept, and are not worthy to move on.

Our Experts:



How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
