These small little handy-dandy devices seem to get more and more popular. Anyone here chipped in for a JetKVM yet? Looks and sounds pretty solid. Are there a lot of you that have aquired a nanoKVM?

    We really need to get past the 1080p barrier. AFAICS there is one economical KVM solution for that, and several costly enterprise kits. Surely the actual hardware cost/difference per-unit would be quite small now?

      Why? Even 1080p is more than what is usually needed for such a KVM solution. It is not like this is meant for doing remote work on a computer or anything like that.

        Because sometimes I would rather things be slow than blurry, and my workstation monitor is >1080p.

    OK, I’ve read the wiki entry but I still don’t understand what KVM is, or why it’s needed. The last time I visited a data center - every server rack came with a laptop-esque looking control unit. What problem does KVM comes to solve? What does this invention improve upon a traditional KVM?
