tlug: monitor Switch boxes

["Stephen Carter" <sncarter@example.com>]

A good point. Do you have any suggestions about which switch boxes are
better?

I'm using an Elcom DTSF4-VGA which works pretty well, but I'm not exactly
running high-end video through it.

I've seen some horrible images coming out of cheap monitor switch
boxes. Out of focus, discoloration, wavy image, the works. YMMV. You
should certainly see a specimen in action before you buy it.
