Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO AV4PRO vs Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 & Audio KVM Switch: Comparison
What is the difference between Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO and Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 &?
Start with max resolution, because it is the widest measured gap between them: Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO 1920x1200 against Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 & 7680x4320, 93% in favour of Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 &. Max resolution single display runs the same way, 1920x1200 on the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO versus 7680x4320 on the Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 &, another win for Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 &.
Which should you buy, Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO or Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 &?
Buy the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO for broadcast and security operations needing rack-mounted, RS232-controllable switching, though it is not the pick for single-desk users who only need to switch between two computers and buyers needing HDMI or DisplayPort instead of DVI/VGA. It also earns its place with control room and NOC operators managing 4-8 machines across multiple monitors. It is the wrong buy for budget shoppers, since modular head configurations cost more than a fixed 4-port switch. The Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 & suits 8K or high-resolution DisplayPort 1.4 monitor setups and users wanting USB 3.0 hub speeds through their KVM, though it is not built for anyone wanting DisplayPort cables included. It is not the one for full 4:4:4 color at 8K (this is 4:2:0 at that resolution). Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO (8/10): A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup.
