Sony's got a new "switching USB hub" built in to their 17-inch and 19-inch X series models, which effectively acts as a KVM switch allowing you to set up and swap between two different machines. It's a two-port USB hub that also includes switchable audio, and offers an alternative to the traditional mega-cord tangle of the KVM. The 19-inch X series should be running close to $570, which isn't too shabby for a 19-incher with KVM-like tendencies — we wouldn't kick it outta bed.
Ah, it's actually a built-in KVM! I though that looked a bit weird when I read it... hell, I have a sony LCD with built-in USB hub... and it's 3 years old! :)
