Verdict

Adder ADDERView PRO

7 / 10 Expert Rating

An affordable way to add isolated switching to a 4-port DVI desk without paying for certification or multiviewer features.

ATEN CS1844

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

ATEN's full-featured 4-port HDMI switch, worth the premium over the CS1824 line specifically for true 4K@60Hz 4:4:4.
