Useless for any high-quality video related task........2007-03-07
This thing is trash.
I was reading reviews and noticed that other VGA Switchboxes had people complaining about their low quality video, but this one seemed to have decent reviews so I decided to try it.
I bought this in order to switch between using my PC and my Xbox360 on the same monitor. I instantly was able to recognize ghosting when using my PC, it was especially apparent whenever there was any text against a white background, regardless of the color of the text. The effect wasnt limited to text either, everything onscreen was ghosted. The whole screen looked fuzzy and it felt like my eyes were out of focus, and I was only running at a resolution of 1280x960.
Trying to wiggle the switch, as previous reviews stated, did not help either. The ghosting problem persisted no matter what I tried. I also made sure it was not my cables by trying to connect the monitor directly to the cable, then putting it through the switchbox. As long as it was not connected to the switchbox the image was crystal clear, the second I connected it through the switchbox there was ghosting everywhere, so there was obviously nothing wrong with my cables.
I suppose if you needed to switch between two terminals that only need very low quality video (such as between two systems that use a command line) this might be useful, but it's useless for anything else.
The only good thing I can say about it is that it was cheap ($11.99USD), not even worth the hassle of returning it. Although keep in mine that you will also have to factor in the cost of cables as it comes with none.
I'm going to set my sights on powered KVM switches from now on, this thing is going in the closet, likely never to see the light of day again.
The switch.......2007-01-05
I bought this switch because I am a poor college student and wanted to put my xbox 360 on an HD setup without actually buying an HDTV.
So, I bought this switch and now I use it to switch between my xbox and computer. There are only a couple issues that I have had, which is why I didn't give this product 5 stars.
First, sometimes the screen kind of gives a wierd color or tint BUT this is easily fixed just by giving the knob a little wiggle.
Second, sometimes the switch makes my screen go blank. Usually a wiggle fixes this though.
I did kind of wish that it came with an extra VGA cable but that may be asking too much for such a low price.
So, if you want a cheap switch that will make a sweet setup sweeter, check out this switch. Affordable and the HD for the xbox looks amazing! Nice.
Mine was faulty.......2006-12-16
My screen turns yellow on a regular basis, I guess this was a faulty unit.
When I get a chance I will probably send it back, in the meantime I have invested in a raritran switchman KVM switch, a much better value for money proposition.

great kvm.......2006-11-20
This product did everything it said it would and well. It was simple to set up, with no drivers or anything else to install. I used a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard combo connected to a windows pc and a linux box.

Great For Xbox 360!.......2007-05-21
I got this switch for connecting a Xbox 360 and a computer to a 19" Sony LCD. The results are awesome. My computer looks blurry but I blame that on the cheap VGA cable I bought and not on this switch. Super easy to set up and use. I highly recommended it.
This Electronic Switch is WAY better than mechanical ones.......2006-12-22
I ordered one of the mechanical sVGA switches so I can connect 2 sVGA 1080p sources into my Westinghouse LVM-37W3 1080p LCD, one of the source being a XBOX360. The results were lousy with wrong contrast and dynamic range. This active switch was perfect at 1080p with both my XBOX360 and my DELL XPS's X800XT sVGA output into the Westy LVM-37W3.

At Last.......2007-07-25
I have had this for about 1 day and have fell in love with it. I have an Epson projector With A VAG splitter built right in, But Just about one month ago it grew week. And every time I had my LCD screen and my projector on at the same time the LCD screen would start to flash. (The frequence was to week.) So insted of sending the projector to miami I got this. Witch took my one computer VAG signal and split it into two. Now the projector gets one 250 MHz Signal and the 17" LCD screen gets The other. That was one of the most inexpensive Computer Fixes i'v ever done!
There's just one thing you need to know, For the two video OUT ports it uses a Standered Monitor cable(VGA Male to VGA Male.) But For The Video IN you need a monitor extention cable (VGA Male to VGA Female.) Not to worry you can get this at any electronic store and if your looking to save money you can even get it right here on amazon.
VGA Splitter.......2007-05-12
Very disappointed in this device...mainly because it degrades the signal quality significantly. It might be of use for Powerpoint displays on multiple small VGA monitors, but it's not suitable at all for HIGH DEF displays. IMO.
Great Product.......2006-10-12
I tried several different video splitters - none of them were good. This is a very good product. I am splitting 1280x1024 and no issues at all. Highly recommended.

Not with an ergo keyboard.......2007-11-09
The product didn't work with my MS natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 v1.0. I tryed other keyboards and they were just fine. The ergo keyboard had an echo like behavior where random keystrokes were repeated. No work around was found.
Very Good Product.......2007-07-27
This was very easy to hook up & use. Flips back & force between 2 boxes and one monitor & mouse. Does not lose the mouse or keyboard when changing from one box to the next.

Worthless.......2007-05-08
This product didn't work for me at all. I was trying to split with my computer monitor and my Sony t.v.(it has the monitor port). It also would've been nice if it came with the cord you need. Not worth the price and not really worth anything at all.
Video input would be easier if the connector was female........2006-02-26
On the front of the box it has "SVGA extension cable", but a standard extension cable does not work with this because both connectors have threaded nuts. It's easier to use a gender changer because it has the bolts, then use 3 standard SVGA cables.
The best results were monitors with the same aspect ratio and screen resolution.
