Nice rackmount KVM with clear picture?

I have a cheap IOGear 4-port KVM that is great; there is almost no
signal loss and the picture is crips and clean. I am moving a bunch of
machines into a rack, so I bought a 16-port rackmount KVM from Belkin,
but the picture is -horrible-!

It's not the cables, because I also tried the cables from the IOGear,
with the same results.

Can anyone recommend a rack-mount KVM with 16 ports (or more, I guess)
that has good video passthrough?

Maybe its the difference that the cheap one doesn't try to do any
onscreen video menus (overlays)?

Not really the best group for a question like this, but one of the
higher-end Compaqs (etc) might work for you. I have never had much luck with
the cheap & cheerfuls.
