PIP is not worth it

As an HDMI switch this product delivers well enough, the image does seem to be slightly diminished, but not enough that most people would even notice. The Picture-in-Picture feature is utterly worthless though. It shows all three other HDMI inputs regardless of an input even being plugged in. Not only that, the pictures are shrunk to a ridiculously small size and reshaped to a rectangle that skews any picture there may be and that picture is distorted and altered to a point that is virtually unrecognizable. Main reason I bought this was for a PIP feature and I am disappointed. If you can't get the feature to work properly, just don't include it in the device. I tried on multiple TV's with different kinds of HDMI cables and had issues every time. Probably going to be returning the product unless I find someone who just needs an HDMI switch.

Pros
  • I love how it has picture in picture on all the inputs
Cons
  • May not work with all HDMI cables
