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-MST-4Q

6 / 10 Expert Rating

Discontinued and unsupported — acceptable only as a clearance-priced backup unit; the SM-EDPN-4Q-S is the supported alternative.
