Verdict

Adder ALIF1002P

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable enterprise DVI network extender pair, priced for serious IP KVM matrix deployments rather than single-room extension.

ATEN CS1844

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

ATEN's full-featured 4-port HDMI switch, worth the premium over the CS1824 line specifically for true 4K@60Hz 4:4:4.
