KWorld Computer Co. Ltd (Chinese: 廣寰科技股份有限公司) is a Taiwan-based technology company that specializes in TV tuner cards and boxes. They are a consumer audio/video developer and provider whose market focus is PC based peripherals. The company offers analogue, digital, hybrid, satellite TV tuners, and video/audio capture/editing cards and boxes. Founded in 1999, the company is a primary TV tuning card manufacturer in Taiwan.[3][4]

KWorld develops TV tuners for PAL, NTSC, and SECAM analogue television systems and for DVB-T, DVB-S, ISDB-T, DMB-T/H, ATSC, and IPTV digital television systems. KWorld also develops video capture/editing and audio capture/editing devices for both Macintosh and Microsoft Windows operating systems.[5] The Taiwan Intellectual Property Management System (TIPS) certified KWorld in 2008.[6]

A 2020 Money Weekly article noted that the company's revenue experienced a steep drop owing to a substantial decrease in customers' purchases of KWorld's video products. It turned its attention to other ventures including earphone products and making mobile streaming software.[7]
