Alright, my ps790 is slowly dieing. It keeps contracting the image horizontally till it uses about half the screen and then it pops back a few seconds later. Keeps happening more and more frequent. I currently have two systems setup using its bnc connectors and its 15pin input. So, I'm looking for a monitor to replace it that has either a bnc and a 15pin connection, or 2 15pin connections. I have tried using a belkin kvm and their gold plated cables with a 1 input monitor and the video quality was just total crap.

I have been looking at the nec fp2141, but it is $600 and I would like to see if there are any good monitors that are cheaper. Also I really don't need a 22in monitor, been perfectly happy with my 19. The monitor will be used mostly for programming and web surfing and such, but I also like to game, so I need something with good sharp text and it absolutely has to support atleast 1280x1024 @85hz.

I have also been looking at the mitsubishi fp930 for $300, and it seems to be the perfect monitor except it only has 1 input. Are there any monitors of this caliber with 2 inputs under $400?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
 
it would probably be cheaper to get a regular moniter with a kvm switch. A moniter with 2 inputs sounds strange.
 
I have a Viewsonic G810 21" for 300$ although it doesnt have dual inputs :(

Thanx for the offer, but as I stated above I need a dual input monitor to run both my systems. KVM's are not an option for me. They just plain suck when it comes to video quality.
 
ummmm no they dont.

I had a KVM and didnt notice any video loss... I did have to raise my refresh rate under display options tho. Windows raised it automatically with out the KVM in place.

I've yet to see a a KVM that didn't degrade signal quality to some degree. Unless you are running DVI/ADC I think it is unavoidable. Beter KVM's/Cables make a big difference though. Keep in mind my experience was on Mitsu 22" monitors and Sony 21" Monitors at 1600x1200 so a lower resolution or lesser monitor might not show the difference as well.
