have you tried adjusting the monitor so it doesnt look like that?? i know right after i got my monitor it was so bright it looked almost white but all i had to do is lower the brightness and work a little on the contrast and it came out perfect.

sure tried that, the problem is with KVM switches. I am told that all of them degrade the video signal somewhat. I guess they make DVI kvm switches for lcd monitors that do not suffer from this, but those switches are expensive.

Hello,

Any switch / additions made to the monitor cable will cause a degration. That is because you lose signal every time you make a connection. In the RF world, adding a double-barrel-female connector to splice two coax cables together can knock the signal down 50 percent!

You do not mention what other computers you are trying to remote control. I am in a similar situation... and instead of a KVM switch, I use VNC to have one master computer remote control the rest of them. SO, the Linux box remote controls the Windows Server, and the Mac Server and a third computer. I wish that VNC would remote a Novell Server, but with other tools, I can manage that thing.
