Tim,
  Yes, it could very well have an impact.  KVM switches are notorious 
for introducing all kinds of anomolies in the signal and causing 
problems from fuzzyness to flickering to complete color shift.  Normal 
use of KVMs are for controlling several headless boxes on those rare 
occasions where you have to work at the physical box.  As such the fact 
that they introduce slight (normally) distortions to the image is 
acceptable.  In the case where you are using the KVM on your normal 
workstation you will often find these distortions completely 
unbearable.  One solution to this is to get a TFT Screen with multiple 
inputs and hook the KVM to one and your workstation to another, that way 
you get full signal quality for your workstation but still have the KVM 
ability.
