Strengths: Ease of use; handy remote control; generally works very well
Summary: It's been a real pleasure - in fact, a surprise - that there is ANY item in the whole computer world that essentially works as advertised, with a minimum of fuss, right out of the box. This is one such item. It's incredibly easy to use. The one downside I can see is that it sometimes introduces pixel artifacts into the display, that aren't there on a straight connection to the graphics card. I see another reviewer mentioned the need for occasional power resets...I'll try that. On a lesser note, it can also switch your speakers for two computers - but only for stereo. It can't do anything if you have a nice 5.1 system. Finally, the installation instructions call for hot-plugging your graphics cards on the two attached computers; I'd recommend against that - I've fried a video card by attaching a DVI cable while the power was on. And it works just fine after I installed it with all power off.

Strengths: Dual-DVI, appearance.
Summary: I don't use KVM's that much, but I purchased this model to replace my old one that I use when fixing friends computers. I really like the fact that it supports Dual-link DVI monitors. Picture quality is great and the hot key switching is much better than hitting a button to switch computers. I would recommend this KVM to anyone in the market for a great, quality KVM.
