I'm still amazed that no one builds a reasonably priced LCD panel that includes a USB switch. I mean, seriously, if they're going to give you two video inputs to switch between, it just seems a foregone conclusion that you're going to want to switch some peripherals too . . . like the freakin' keyboard and mouse?

Again, thanks for the help

I'm sure that 99% of people only have one PC hooked up to their monitor, so the market for this is probably too small (I'd love it too). The monitor switching and inputs are probably just so you can select one input and leave it there, like most people will do. My Dell has 5 different inputs, and I still can't use software to switch them
