KVM switch
KVM switch
I was thinking of getting a KVM switch for my precious boxes, and i was wondering if anyone could tell me a little about quality on the screen when using one, because i heard from some friends that i shouldn't get a cheap one because the screen quality will probably suck

well, depends on the screen resolution. if your screen is 1024x768 at 85Hz (which is kinda standard nowadays) already a cheap switch should be good enough....but the higher the resolution/frequency the better the switch should be, else you'll lose display quality. some manufacturers (at least the good ones) give information about the max. screen resolution which is supported without losing quality.
