Does this switch work with an LCD flat screen monitor?
Thank you for your inquiry. Assuming the flat panel in question has a VGA connection, then yes the Avocent SwitchView 4SV120BND1 will work with your flat panel display.

I'm using a Logitech G11 gaming keyboard. Will I experience compatibility problems?
Thank you for your inquiry. We have not tested that particular keyboard with any KVMs, however, Avocent switches tend to be one of the better performers in terms of compatibility. On the other hand, we have heard that complicated gaming type keyboards can be pretty fussy when it comes to KVMs.

That being said, even if the gaming keyboard does work, many times special keys and software dependent features no longer function. Some success has been had using a "USB Hub" equipped KVM, and attaching the gaming keyboard to the "USB hub", as opposed to the console connection. Please note, however, that this typically results in some loss of functionality in regards to Hotkey switching and other keyboard supported functions.

There are other factors that may impact compatibility as well, such as types of operating systems involved. Essentially, we cannot guarantee that there would be no compatibility issues with any particular environment.

Is this compatible with Windows 7?
Thank you for your inquiry. We have not tested it, but since this is a hardware based switch, without any software required, it should work with Windows 7.

However, we have heard of issues with Windows 7 and KVMs regarding EDID (extended display identification data) polling issues, especially when switching between windows 7 and XP using DVI video. Whether your particular setup will have this issue, we cannot say, but Avocent switches are pretty solid and we have not had any issues.

Can this switch support Windows Server 2008? Thanks. Jay
Thank you for your inquiry. We do not have specific Windows Server 2008 compatibility information, but this hardware based solution is operating system independent and should work just fine with Server 2008.

We have not tested this unit with that operating system, so could not guarantee compatibility, but we have not heard of any issues.

Can the console via USB, and 1 PC via USB and a second PC with PS / 2 to operate (with appropriate cable) to the USB version?
Thank you for your inquiry. Conversion is never an ideal situation. While going from USB to PS/2 is relatively stable, going from PS/2 to USB is not something we recommend. There is an Avocent SwitchView KVM that supports both USB and PS/2 that may serve your purposes better.
