Belkin Flip DVI-D KVM and Audio Switch F1DG102D

$155.00 Est. at Amazon

from sixscrews, www.newegg.com
the cable is long - 3 feet(?) - so it can be positioned far from the kvm unit itself, a great improvement over other switches that have to be accessed directly.
from Edmon, www.newegg.com
switch button is small and has a long cord so it can be placed anywhere.
from www.newegg.com
it is nice that it has audio cables so that you can share a single set of speakers as well.
from rlwimi, www.newegg.com

from www.amazon.com
i first got it for an older single dvi input hd ready (1080i/720p) set, and the switch passed 1080i and 720p flawlessly from a ps3, htpc, hd cable box and an upconverting dvd/dvr unit.
from www.newegg.com
i have it hooked up with various combinations of link depot and sysonic dvi/hdmi cables from ps3/htpc/dvr and they all look as good as any one of the sources running straight to my hdtv's single
from www.newegg.com
just need additional dvi-hdmi cable though but newegg provide that with great price anyway ..
from www.newegg.com
other thoughts: only using 3 of the 4 inputs right now as follows: 1: pc through dvi to hdmi cable.
from www.amazon.com
unfortunately for me, this will end up in my big 'a/v cables' box in the basement, or perhaps be used with the small 19 inch hdtv in the guest room in conjunction with a roku netflix device, since at

from www.amazon.com
one of the computers is 25 feet of dvi cable away which is irresponsible of me because that is generally considered too far away to be running at such a high resolution.

also, i found it useful to bore several 1.5" holes through the vertical boards inside to allow me to efficiently run cables and not have the proverbial "rats' nest" visible behind the stand.
from www.amazon.com
the compartments are an okay size, we did have to remove the doors before putting in our cable box and dvd player...but they did fit.
from www.amazon.com
looks good with all my equipment- dvd player,cable box, vcr and receiver with surround sound speakers, as well as my 52" lcd tv.
from www.amazon.com
i think the unit will serve its purpose of keeping the children away from the cable box and dvd player but i am sad that it show wear so easily.
