    Looking for a monitor.

    I'm looking for a replacement 17" monitor that has a facia button to switch between 2 sets of inputs, (like my old Eizo 17") or a function on level 1 of the On Screen Display that does the same (unlike my current Iiyama).

    I've looked around, but this isnt something most manufacturers list in their sales brocures.

    Actually, I have no idea. I just replied to be the first (for once) to say: Corenerstone. Ha-ha !!! I've beaten everyone else to it even if it's off topic !!!

          the sony G200 17" monitor can switch between 2 inputs that way.
          This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

            My current Iiyama can switch between BNC & DSub via the osd, but its a royal pain in the buttocks because its about 18 button presses to get to the right place to change.

              With a Cornerstone it's 4 key presses to switch to another input and clear the OSD off the screen, without clearing the OSD it only takes two

                  LG 915FT+ cannot do it, but it's the monitor to buy.

                  Augh.

                    Sony overpriced, Iiyama overpriced (have owned both brands before)

                      My old (but fine) NEC has a switch in front. No OSD, no PnP, no EnergyStar ... and I love it!

                        You could also use a KVM switch.

                          Why spend $$ on a kvm when what is built into my monitors works perfect?

                              My current VMPro 410 (a702) takes about a dozen.
