Review on C2G 03364 2-Port VGA (HD15) Switch Box with Manual Control, Beige by Jacob Brooks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple and functional

Hard to beat these vintage monitor switchers. I read a lot of reviews about push button switches and decided to avoid them. It works great and just does its job. No ghosting or resolution issues, but I only use XGA (1024 x 768) on the projector. So if you need ultra high resolution I'm not sure how that would work. The only problem is that for my setup (choosing between two video card outputs on the same PC) this field no longer tells Windows that a valid monitor is connected. Depending on your setup, Windows may renumber or rearrange your virtual desktop table. I solved it with ConnectPro EDID Emulator, ConnectPRO VGA-EDID-KITU1, VGA DDC/EDID Ghost Emulator Professional Kit. But I understood what was going on and I wanted the absolute reliability and simplicity of this box, especially the fact that you can LOOK at it to see which source is selected.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
