Verdict

Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO AV4PRO

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup.

SmartAVI SM-DPN-4D-S

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-priced dual-head DisplayPort switch; buyers needing three or four monitors should look at SmartAVI's quad-head SM-DPN-4Q-S instead.
