Two-host dual-screen control
Share Monitor A, Monitor B and four USB peripherals between two computers, with one computer active at a time.
Dual-monitor HDMI KVM · exact model 55455
Move two monitors and four USB peripherals between two computers. UGREEN 55455 creates one manually switched dual-screen desk for two HDMI-equipped computers. It includes the host-side cables, wired controller and required 12V/2A adapter; two monitor-output HDMI cables are supplied separately by the user.
Product overview
UGREEN 55455 is a 2-computer, 2-monitor HDMI KVM switch. It routes two HDMI channels and one USB host-data connection from the selected computer to two HDMI monitor outputs and four shared downstream USB ports. Pressing a button moves the complete workstation together.
The design is not a video matrix. Both monitors always show the selected computer, and HDMI channel A input maps to HDMI A output while channel B maps to HDMI B output. It cannot show Computer 1 on one monitor and Computer 2 on the other at the same time.
Each host needs two independent HDMI-compatible outputs plus one USB-A data port. A laptop with only one HDMI output needs a compatible dock or active adapter that provides a second independent video stream, and the laptop itself must support two external displays.
At a glance
The major capabilities and boundaries of this exact SKU, without borrowing specifications from similarly named models.
Share Monitor A, Monitor B and four USB peripherals between two computers, with one computer active at a time.
UGREEN lists 4K@60Hz and 4K@30Hz plus 2560 x 1440 at 120Hz and 1920 x 1080 at 240Hz.
Three USB-A and one USB-C downstream port move with the selected host and are rated up to 5Gbps for data.
Switch with the button on top of the KVM or place the supplied 1.5m wired controller within reach.
Four HDMI host cables, two USB host cables, the controller and required DC adapter are included.
Both displays and all USB peripherals follow the same selected computer; sources cannot be split across the two monitors.
Six video sockets plus host and peripheral USB
The rear panel carries two HDMI inputs and one USB host-data input for Computer 1, the same three inputs for Computer 2, two HDMI monitor outputs and the 12V DC power input. The front panel carries the wired-controller socket and four downstream USB data ports.
HDMI channels are paired: each computer’s HDMI A feeds Monitor A output and HDMI B feeds Monitor B output. Keep A and B consistent throughout the cable path.
Video resolution and display layout
UGREEN lists 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz and 30Hz, 2560 x 1440 at 120Hz and 1920 x 1080 at 240Hz, plus HDR output. Both host video outputs, the KVM, output cables and monitors must support the chosen mode.
Configure mirror or extended display mode in the selected computer’s graphics settings. The KVM transports the two HDMI channels; it does not arrange desktops, create a second video stream or override the operating system’s display limits.
Shared USB 3.0 data
Attach a keyboard, mouse, printer, webcam, microphone, flash drive or external storage to the four downstream ports. When the KVM switches hosts, those peripherals reconnect to the newly selected computer through its USB host cable.
All four downstream ports are labelled up to 5Gbps and carry USB data only. The USB-C port is not a laptop host connection, video output or Power Delivery charging port.
Manual switching only
Press the round button on the KVM when the unit is within reach. If the cable bundle is behind or below the desk, connect the 1.5m controller and place its button near the keyboard.
The exact model does not support keyboard-hotkey switching or automatic source cycling. That deliberate limitation prevents legacy marketing copy from promising control methods the hardware does not provide.
Where it fits
The KVM suits dual-system desks where one person deliberately moves a complete two-monitor workspace between two computers.
Use the same two monitors, keyboard, mouse and USB accessories with separate professional and personal computers.
Switch a dual-screen desk between build and test systems without unplugging shared peripherals.
Share hardware across different operating systems when both computers provide the required dual HDMI and USB connections.
Move monitors and USB storage or input devices together between editing and administration computers.
Control two fully connected dual-display systems while keeping cables labelled and stationary.
Share high-refresh compatible monitors and USB devices while accepting a manual button press between systems.
From box to working desk
Plan nine functional links before first use: three from each computer, two to the monitors and one DC power connection. The controller and shared peripherals are added on the front.
Check the signal path, not only the connector
UGREEN lists Windows, macOS and Linux systems. Hardware compatibility is more important than the operating-system name: each computer needs two independent HDMI-compatible display outputs and one USB-A data port.
| Device or platform | Compatibility guidance |
|---|---|
| Desktop PCs with two HDMI outputs | Direct fit when both HDMI outputs can run the intended two-display mode and a USB-A data port is available. |
| Laptops with one HDMI plus USB-C video | May work through a compatible active adapter or dock that exposes a second independent HDMI stream; confirm two-display support. |
| Laptops with only one video stream | Cannot create a second external display through the KVM; a compatible multi-display dock or different KVM architecture is required. |
| Windows systems | Listed by UGREEN; display layout and refresh modes depend on the GPU, ports, drivers and monitors. |
| macOS systems | Listed by UGREEN; exact model support, external-display count and any current software requirement should be checked for the Mac. |
| Linux systems | Listed by UGREEN; graphics, USB re-enumeration and peripheral support depend on distribution, kernel and drivers. |
| Wireless keyboards and mice | Usually connect through their USB receiver, but proprietary or specialised receivers should be tested. |
| USB-C peripherals | The front USB-C port supports data peripherals only, not USB-C host video or laptop charging. |
