Anyone know if there's a KVM that offers Picture-in-Picture like on TVs?

It'd be cheaper to just buy a Dell LCD that has multiple inputs and PiP/PbP.

Hmmm not really, my 2005FPW can't do PiP with the VGA/DVI connection. PiP works only with the Comp/SVHS video input.

Thanks for the correction.
I think the newer (xxx7FPW) and higher-end (24xxFPW and 30xxFPW) displays support PiP/PbP with any two arbitrary inputs. Dell's site doesn't mention any limitations for them.
