hey

basically i need a switch-box kinda thing that would let me plug 2 inputs in to it(2pc's for e.g.) and with a flick of a switch i would be able to switch from one to another on a single monitor

now i've tried the cheap ebay alternative boxes which don't work and get washed out colours (guess because they are not powered and don't have enough power to generate a strong enough signal)

what other options are there?


any suggestions appreciated

Thanks
 
you need a KVM

got 3 switch boxes all of them got the same problem "washed out text"

e.g.

Get a monitor with vga and hdmi. Then connect a pc via either.

I do this, works fine. Button on the side selects between inputs.

thats the expensive option :( i've had this in mind but its just not worth it as im sure there are cheaper options available to do a simple switch between 2 inputs :eek:
 
Its the switch ive seen some more expensive mains powered switches.. ill have try one of them soon
