 Reduces image quality September 5, 2010
Chintan Shah
I bought these so I can switch between my second computer monitor and Xbox 360. I didn't notice the difference in quality of the picture when I switched to my xbox 360, but when I turned the switched to my computer, I noticed a huge decrease in image quality. There was an overlapping effect on fonts and images were extremely blurry. I even switched the VGA cables out thinking that was my problem, but it didn't help. It could just be my VGA Switch box though (not sure since it was pretty cheap).
All in all, it works... but does not give a clear image.
 Works, but... August 26, 2010

It's plug and play and it works like it's supposed to. I should mention that I use it to switch my top of the line monitor between my computer and my XBOX 360. The fact that my monitor is high end may be the reason for the missing stars. What happens when I start my computer up is that this little box changes my screen resolution and the quality of the picture is reduced. The only way to fix it is to start the computer up directly connected to the monitor, then unplug and go through the switch box; changing the resolution through my OS does nothing. I think the computer is recognizing the switch box as a monitor or something like that, I'm not an expert though. So, I can get it to maintain screen resolution by fumbling around a bit with the cords, but that's why I got the thing in the first place; so I don't have to switch cables around. As long as I don't shut down or restart my computer it works fine and I haven't had any issues at all with the XBOX 360.
The Pros:
It works.
It's cheap.
It's easy to set up and use.
The Cons:
It may affect the quality and resolution of your picture.
Wrong product & Loses part of signal... August 23, 2010
Eravau Itu (St. Louis, MO)
Instead of the dial pictured with this listing, the product shipped comes with two push buttons (A and B). That's nothing that would have kept me from buying it... but it's still disconcerting to get something besides what you ordered.
What would keep me from ordering this is that although the signal changed from source A to source B (and back) when the appropriate button was pushed... it would change the video signal to a *very* yellow color once you let go of the button. As long as you are mashing the button down all the way with your thumb it is fine. But the second you take your thumb off of the button the image looks like it's being viewed beneath a layer of dark yellow liquid. For this reason I cannot recommend this product.
Not what the on line ad showed August 6, 2010

The switch box seems to be OK, but it should be what was shown in the net ads and it was not.
This is not good business to advertize one thing and switch the product on the comsumer!!!!!!

 Sturdy. Plug and play. No issues. August 5, 2010

I purchased this because I read quite a few reviews and wanted something that was pretty sturdy within reason at an inexpensive price. All that I can really say is that I plugged it into the VGA port on my computer (My HDMI output is going to my main monitor, then connected a 17" and a 46" LCDs to the output ports. The 17" is used to help configure what is sent to a couple of MIDI controllers, and the 46" is a television. This allows me to span my primary screen across one or the other external screens depending on what I am using it for at the time. I just use the AB switches and the video spans back and forth with no other tweaking. Very nice. Not a problem so far.
