For several yrs I've used two Computers with one monitor. Years ago I had an analog switcher box with a knob on the front to switch between computers. Today I have a PS/2 digital switcher.

The problem is the monitor not getting all the signal and flickers with the absence of a certain color. With the analog switcher I could exercise the pot and correct the color. I thought that once I went with the digital switcher that would put an end to this problem (and it did for a long time) but this is happening again.

I've got good connections???
Anybody else experience this and have a remedy???

Thanks,

Russ

I use this cheap KVM and it works great. Those old analog switch boxes are really bad for your monitor, where the new one's won't fry your monitor. The one I listed can usually be found at Fry's for $20.

I have a 4 port KVM from Belkin that works perfectly, allowing me to switch between a Mackie HDR(PC based) a PC and a Mac.
