Got my Xbox 360 connected to my 19inch Acer via the VGA cable. Onl problem is the Acer only has one VGA socket and no DVI so i think i need to buy a VGA switch.

Had a look around but I dont really know which ones are decent. Iv'e read a few bits about ghosting when using a switch so i dont want to buy a duff one.

Anyone reccomend one?
 
Wheres the D-link on this site i cant find it. Also if i leave my mouse and keyboard in the back of my PC instead of into the KVM switch will everything still work as the PC and 360 will rarely be on at the same time.

*EDIT*
Found the D-Link on another site but its a bit more expensive than the Belkin or Linksys offerings. Is it really that much better than the others?

Think im going to go for the 2-port model as i only have my PC and 360 to connect up also my desk isn't very big and i dont need long cables.

Just wondering if i was to leave my keyboard and mouse plugged into the PC insted of the switch would they still work or would i have to have them into the switch?

Well i finally made up my mind and went for the 4 port D-link. Its a bit more expensive but i suppose if i ever have another device to hook up via VGA i wont need to go out and buy another.

One thing though how many leads does the 4 port come with?

Hopefully i wont need to 'gimp' it with a usb to PS/2 adaptor but i have a few lying around so no problem there. What resolution do you put through the KVM NokkonWud? I've read about significant quality loss at high resolutions. I use 1440x900 for my PC and 1360x768 for the 360....

Think i'll have any problems with loss?
