Customer Review: Perfect solution
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent many hours researching KVM switches to find one that satisfactorily switched between older PCs using Windows XP Home and a new PC running Windows 7 (64 bit). Essentially every one worked well with the older PC, but needed to have the monitor reset when switched to the Windows 7 PC. This unit advertised it would do this flawlessly. It actually does.
All the equipment needed to connect the PCs to a single monitor are included in the package. Setup is relatively easy with picture directions, as well as written ones to guide you to make sure all connections are correct. There is sufficient cord length from the unit to have PCs about 6 ft away. One word of caution - connections between the unit, PCs and monitor are made through VGA connections, not DVI.
During installation, I was unable to get the system to work properly. I was using the new keyboard, optical mouse connected to the unit through the USB connections. A phone call to the IOGEAR help line connected me to a most helpful tech representative. After making sure all the connections were properly done, the problem turned out to be "user error" by my failure to note the difference between the new keyboard and the old one. Once my training was updated, everything worked beautifully. There is no problem when going back and forth to the Windows 7 unit with the 20 inch widescreen monitor - no change in the settings. The only issue with the old Windows XP Home PC and the switch is the resolution of the PC is limited by the graphics card and not the switch. Still the slightly stretched view is perfectly satisfactory for any of our use of that machine. For sound reproduction from either of he PCs, I used only the connection provided with the switch and the sound through the monitor speakers is extremely satisfactory for my usage.
From my experience, I can heartily recommend this inexpensive method to maintain quick access to data and files on an old Windows computer, while working with your new updated Windows 7 machine.
