Customer Review: Works Perfectly Fine
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought one switcher before this one and it kept losing the signal. I though the problem could of been the cables, but when i plugged it directly into the dvd and ps3, it worked fine. Then I had bought this switcher which worked perfectly fine. The remote is better, not credit card style and has better ir signal. The component stand is on the side of the couch, away from a direct signal and I never had a problem. I have not noticed a glitch since I had bought this 3 weeks ago. Some say that the PS3 will only work in the 5th port, but I have it in the second and never had a problem. If you buy a switcher from a store, they can cost 150 for a switcher that only switches 2 hdmi cables. This does 5 for 50 bucks and works just as good, if not better.
The only cons I can say is that the button to switch on the front of the device does not stick out far enough, it's pushed in a little. Also, the first switcher switched between sources quickly without a pause. This takes only a second pause, which isn't a Con, but I still like that about the first one.
Customer Review: Great HDMI Switcher-But no power button or HDMI cables!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had absolutely no problem with this HDMI 5 port switcher. I connect My Toshiba HD DVD player, a Samsung Blu-ray, an Apple laptop computer (via DVI-to HDMI cable) and still have room to connect my future HD MiniDV camcorder and HDTV Dish receiver. I connected the three above mentioned items to my Mitsubishi projector with 101" screen with excellent results. My laptop computer never displayed a better picture so clear and huge. My iphoto slide show now looks amazing and bright and part of my Home Theater System.
CONCLUSION
Pros:
1-No visible signal Loss
2-Inexpensive (I bought mine from one of Amazon Market seller for only $69.99)
3-Remote Control with direct access to each input (1-5)
Cons:
1-No Power Button on the UNIT itself or the REMOTE- This means unit must remains ON indefinately.
2-The item picture above shows an HDMI cable, but there are no HDMI cables included!
Customer Review: excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
Received this product and it was very easy to hookup. The directions are skimpy, but I did not need them to use the product. It took about five minutes to have it up and running. I have hooked to it blu-ray player, hd dvd player, direct tv, and onkyo receiver. Some said it did not come with the hdmi cable but there was one in the package. The only thing I wished it had was an off and on control on the remote, but I just plan on leaving it on. The red lights are a little bright. To fix that I took the box it came in and made a front cover cutting a notch for the ir. Since the box is black and unit is black, in the stereo cabinet you can not tell that it is covered. Just and added note I also used the box to put a small cover for the direct dvr blue circle which is also a little bright. The direct dvr is also black. The remote works flawlessly. I am very pleased with the unit.Customer Review: Works perfectly, includes everything pictured
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to try this because I ran out of HDMI ports on my TV and did not want to invest in a new receiver. This is a very solid product and well worth the money. To start off with, it is made out of metal, not plastic and is of very solid construction. I plugged this in and had absolutely no problems getting up and running. Currently have a PS3, a Samsung up-scaling DVD player and a D-Link video receiver (for video streaming from my computer) hooked up and have had no problems at all.
The box was exactly like what is pictured, which included:
- HDMI switch
- Remote control with batteries
- Power cable
- Instructions
- HDMI cable
I do have 1 gripe, the indicator lights are pretty bright. With it tucked away out of sight (but not out of line-of-sight), the lights shine pretty brightly. Nothing some electrical tape won't fix.
Customer Review: Solid
Summary: 5 Stars
First off it worked great and is very nice looking (small). This is the cheapest HDMI switch with 5-port I found, but also the most expense video switch I ever bought also. Component switch only run between 20-50 buck. I use this to switch between the PS3 and DVD up-converter and it is very responsive. Got quick delivery from lusopc.
The manufacture is Monoprice and HDMI Switcher is just the product name. A couple of other manufactures use this same hardware, just slapping their own brand on it. My TV is a 32" Vizio displaying 1080i and see no image lost at all. HDMI 1.3 cable and switch are compatible with older version. Only the devices (PS3, stero reciever) that output that need to be 1.3 compatible. This is not like the USB upgrade to USB2. My PS3 output to 1 and DVD to 2.
