Hi Robert,

If you'd like a switch box, go for a good quality box (usually expensive). In our
shop, we used have two switch boxes (for 3 demo computer to use 2 monitors), the
cheap one reduces display quality and makes a shadow-like affect on screen which
is no good at all (so we moved the box to workshop for computer build & test use
only). the expensive one works well but doesn't support resolution over 1024*768
which is a problem sometimes for showing off 17" or larger monitor.
