    The First DisplayPort KVM Switch, Hurray

    She's not much to look at, but this is the first DisplayPort KVM switch, so you can hook up two DisplayPort-compatible computers to a single monitor (and keyboard and mouse, obvs) without converters. Why do you want direct DisplayPort hookups?

    Because the KVM offers a native 2560x1600 resolution at 60Hz (or 3840x2400 at a lower refresh rate) with 7.1-channel audio. It'll work with Macs and PCs, and has hotkey and push-button switching. At $220, it's a little pricey for a dual-monitor KVM, but we are talking DisplayPort here. [Star-Tech]
