KVM I remember from the early days as an administrator in the datacenter. (The newer servers have that build in.) Why do you need that? You have that many computers?
Yes. At one time there were 7. Now it is down to three, with a potential fourth that can be turned on. When I got the KVM, VGA was the norm. Plus, as mentioned, the HDMI input to the monitor goes to the AVR, the DVI to the OTA STB and the VGA to the computers.

Because it is faster, and easier, to hit a few keys on the keyboard to change to a different computer. Whatever I have active on the computer screen stays active.
