Once again; the Belkin product (which, as you no doubt recall, allows PCs
and a single mac to use the same keyboard, mouse and monitor) comes to
mind. At this site, I use a single 17" Trinitron (plus PC keyboard/mouse)
to control two NT servers and a Quadra 840AV. The screen quality is EXACTLY
what I would expect from a Trini connected to the Macintosh and the PS/2
mouse uses the right button for contextual menus in MacOS8 -which is rather
neat, if you've spent too long in the world of Windows...
Go and buy one.
