Actually, I went through and did their little test to see which KVM would be best for me, and it told me to go with the Aten CS64U, which I have found at Directron for under $70, so that is good. @Wally: you can buy it for me :p That new Belkin looks OK, but I think that IOGEAR I have been eyeballing looks the best.

What is this USB speed you talk of? Ya, that one I am looking at will support the 23″ wide screen just nice…definitely supports its resolution and then some. What is this USB speed you talk of?

I once got burned with a cheap KVM that would only do 1024x768! Not very useful with a 21" widescreen, eh ? :) USB speed too... One thing I’ d advise to check is the actual video resolution.
