Which should you buy, IOGEAR CS1922A or Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 &?
The IOGEAR CS1922A suits single-monitor setups with an 8K-capable display wanting future-proof switching, though it is not built for dual-monitor setups, the CS1942DPA is built for that configuration and standard 4K monitors, the GCS1932 covers that need for less. It is equally the pick for buyers who want IOGEAR's high-resolution support without the dual-display price premium. The Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 & is the one to take for 8K or high-resolution DisplayPort 1.4 monitor setups and users wanting USB 3.0 hub speeds through their KVM, though it is the wrong buy for anyone wanting DisplayPort cables included.
