Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T vs ATEN CS1922: which one fits your build
The Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T is the one to take for enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments across many rooms and HDMI workstations needing centralized network-routed access, though it is not the pick for small single-room point-to-point extension needs and DisplayPort or 4K/5K workstation resolutions. Buy the ATEN CS1922 for two DisplayPort desktops sharing one 4K60 or 1440p144 monitor and mixed Windows, Mac and Linux desks, though it is not built for USB-C-only laptops without adapters (see the ATEN CS1953) and dual 4K60 monitors.

Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T (8/10): A strong HDMI-based enterprise IP KVM transmitter for buyers already invested in the ADDERLink Infinity ecosystem. Our rating of the ATEN CS1922 (8/10): the flexible two-machine DisplayPort switch: pick 4K60 or 1440p144 depending on the day.
