Hi guys!
In the control room of my recording studio I have the following:
Apple Mac Pro DAW rig (w X1900XT - 2x DVI outs)
Custom built Silverstone Sugo SG01 gaming rig (w 4890 - 2x DVI outs)
The Mac is plugged into both my two Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFPs for dual screen in my DAW. However, each monitor only has ONE DVI input. I refuse to use VGA as it looks so god awful! Therefore I purchased this 2 port DVI switch box (second from the top):

So that I could have my Mac plugged into both screens whilst being able to switch to the gaming rig which was plugged into just one of my screens when mates are over for LAN.
My problem is though that the DVI switcher box, if plugged in, causes annoying little 'dancing' artifacts on both screens. It's driving me nuts! Kinda looks like dead pixels but they move around. However, if I plug the monitors directly into the graphics cards on either computer - all is fine and dandy again!
Does anyone know of any way I can put 2x DVI sources into some sort of decent quality DVI Hub and NOT lose any quality?
Cheers in advance for any input you can give me here guys!
