Question Affordable dual-monitor kvm switch?

[luckycharms]

Hi all,

I’m looking for a dual-monitor (hdmi or dvi) kvm switch. However, they all seem pretty expensive! Does anyone know of one that comes in at around $50 or less? Many thanks!

I have four of these switches - I like IOGear and TrendNet.

Now VGA switches are a lot less than than the other ones, but you asked for DVI or HDMI.

I've also been looking into KVM Switches, so I'll keep an eye on this thread. I have my home desktop with dual monitors and my work laptop. I'd love to just set it up to be able to swap from one to the other without needed to physically move the peripherals and monitor cables between machines.

I tend to just pick the highest rated I can find, but if anyone has any additional suggested options (at various rice points), I'm sure that the OP and myself would love to hear them.
