High-Quality VGA switch - Any ideas?

[LimeiBook86]

I was looking for a KVM (keyboard video mouse) switch so I can use my Mac and PC on the same desk without unpluging wires. I've read about problems with keyboards and mice response times and odd keyboard problems so I just want to buy a VGA switch box.

The Mac and the PC both have a standard VGA port but I need a VGA switch box that supports high resoutions from an SVGA Monitor (for example 1280x1024 with about a 75-80hz refresh rate for the PC, but only 1024x768 on the Mac) this is important because I play games a lot on my PC and I don't want to have ghosting, rolling, or some other unwanted effect that you might get from a cheap KVM switch.

I would guess a high-quality VGA switch box would be cheaper than a high-quality KVM switch so that's what I'm aiming for since I don't want to spend a lot of money (uner $50 would be nice)

Does anyone own any of these or had any expierence with them? or have any suggestions?
Any advise would be a lot of help, thanks!

I just recently got a Gefen DVI monitor switch for a machine at work, but that's a completely different animal from a VGA switch, it was around $300.

IOGear and Belkin both make a switch for well under $50, in fact their KVMs are around $35 - pretty reasonable.

Thanks. I would still like to know if anyone use one of those models, see how the video was. I'll look at their online store anyway,

Not compatible with 17" screen or bigger!?!? What!?

Please note: This switch is not compatible with 17 inch monitors or larger

D'oh! I have a 19" monitor... looks like I'll just keep plugging in and unplugging everything. Honestly for $55 I'd expect more...

IOGEAR Outlet Store is temporarily offline for maintenance.
We want to make sure our site can provide the best service, so we're doing a bit of house cleaning.

Just my luck...

I saw a nice model, it was a regular KVM switch but it supported a high-res and was only $50 so I'll probably look into that.
