I want to get a DVI/USB KVM so that I can hook up my work laptop docking station to my 2005fpw instead of this nearly 10 year old CRT when I have to work from home (I am on call 1/3 of the year, so it is frequent). Max resolution indicated is 1600x1200 for the DVI KVMs I see. I don't think the 1650x1050 that is native for my monitor will cause a problem, but I wanted to see if anyone is using a KVM with a widescreen lcd.

Also, if anyone has a KVM product recommendation, I would appreciate that too.
 
I'm looking for one aswell! As popular as the wide screen is, I just can't seem to find many KVW that support 1680x1050 res + two USB.
 
I think that the 1600x1200 maximum supported resolution refers to the bandwidth the KVM switch is capable of, rather than the actual resolution supported (I could be wrong, check with someone who actually has one, or email the manufacturer), in which case something like this should work. If that is not the case, this is probably your best option. Expensive, but it should do what you need. According to the comments the keyboard and mouse USB ports are only USB1.1, though it has USB2.0 ports on it as well.
