The practical answer

The TKS202-X4 is the current Thunderbolt-oriented match, especially for Apple Studio Display or dual 4K60 workflows. It is not a universal two-computer Thunderbolt dock: the Windows side and display connections must match its specific Thunderbolt and HDMI topology.

Product-specific limits
  • Native dual extended displays use two USB-C ports on a supported MacBook.
  • 3440×1440 is limited to 60Hz and a 5120×1440 display falls back to 3840×1080.
  • The Windows host still needs suitable display outputs for both monitors.
  • high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh support are not confirmed in the published specification.

Not compatible

TESmart HDC202-P23

Not supported by published specifications

What this means for you: Its USB-C laptop path relies on Multi-Stream Transport (MST), which does not provide two extended displays on macOS.

High dynamic range (HDR): not confirmed · Variable refresh (VRR): not confirmed · Keeps monitor settings (EDID): supported

Product-specific limits
  • The USB-C laptop path relies on Multi-Stream Transport (MST), so most Macs mirror rather than extend two displays.
  • Laptop charging is up to 60W.
  • 4K output is limited to 60Hz.
  • high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh support are not confirmed in the published specification.

Compatibility constraints

  • Thunderbolt compatibility does not mean every port arrangement is symmetric between the Mac and PC.
  • The TKS202-X4's dual-display high-resolution modes and 60W charging have specific limits.
  • Windows desktops without Thunderbolt need the exact alternate video inputs required by the KVM.

Recommended setup sequence

  1. Identify the Mac, Windows and monitor port map before choosing the KVM.
  2. Confirm whether the Windows host has Thunderbolt, USB-C DP Alt Mode or separate HDMI outputs.
  3. Match the display type and target refresh to the stated dual-display mode.
  4. Test charging, wake, USB devices and monitor detection on both hosts.
