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.
SmartAVI SM-DVN-8S
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A capable, affordable 8-port desktop KVM with a genuinely useful OSD menu, let down only by the lack of audio switching.
