Who each one is for
Buy the Adder Technology Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Triple for legacy trading or control-room desks still running VGA triple-monitor spreads and facilities not ready to upgrade to digital DVI/DisplayPort monitors, though it is the wrong buy for modern digital monitor installations (the DVI variant looks sharper) and anyone needing a fourth monitor head (see the VGA-Quad variant). Take the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM for gaming-first dual monitor setups specifically needing verified 4K@144Hz and G-Sync passthrough. It is not the one for buyers without high-refresh-rate monitors or G-Sync displays, a standard 4K@60Hz KVM covers typical office use for less. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Triple (7/10): A cost-effective way to keep a legacy triple-VGA trading desk running without a full monitor refresh. Our rating of the JCYMELE SW273 4K144Hz DisplayPort KVM (9/10): the best gaming KVM, verified 4K@144Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 with G-Sync passthrough and a dedicated DC power adapter.
