Review on IOGEAR 4 Port Switch Cables GCS1764 by Kobby Fairchild

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I expected

This is a great looking DVI kvm. The front panel buttons allow you to quickly switch the image to one of the four inputs. If you also want to switch USB, just press and hold the button on the item you want. It's a good help to be able to quickly switch between videos to check the status of something. The output image quality is also very good, no complaints (I have 1600x1200). The supplied cables are of good quality and work perfectly. Three computers are currently connected to it. MacBook Pro (OSX), HP Laptop (Vista) and another PC (XP Pro Gaming Rig). Switching between them works smoothly (including sound). The only thing I've noticed is that the computer that boots up likes to have kvm installed at startup, otherwise it can't properly see the monitor's capabilities. So when I run it, I just make sure the computer I'm running on has "focus" and everything is fine. Compared to other DVI kvms I've looked at, this one looks better, works well and is generally the cheapest. Find out.
