Hi,
I'm looking to purchase two new computers for our prepress department and I was hoping to get some information from others here that have used a Dell 20 or 24 inch widescreen for both a Dell and Mac mini with a KVM switch. My questions/concerns are listed below.
- are the Dell and Mac DVI computers capable of using a KVM switch together.
- if so, is there any loss of video signal to hinder color quality control from the Dell computer.
- if there is loss of signal, can a hardware or software calibrator compensate for that loss.
Our intent is to have an inexpensive Mac computer to use for our minor prepress needs and to save $ by utilizing one Dell monitor for both a Dell Precision and Mac mini computers.
Thank you all in advance for your input.
John
