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-DVN-4Q-S

8.6 / 10 Expert Rating

The clear choice for four-monitor trading or control-room seats needing synchronized DVI-D switching across multiple PCs.
