Review on πŸ–₯️ 2-Port VGA Switch Selector Box: Dual Computer to Single Monitor VGA Switch (2 In 1 Out) by Jamie Mousavi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well for me

It works great in my application. I'm using it with an old MAG Innovision VGA monitor, switching between the receiver's HDMI output and the computer's graphics card. I have two monitors in my room and I use the 24" ASUS as my main monitor. The IoGear HDMI receiver receives the signal from my media room, which I watch on an old monitor with an HDMI to VGA converter, which in turn is connected to a junction box is plugged in. The bottom line is that I can watch NFL football in my home office and switch between my computer and the TV with this gem of a Switch.and the buttons work smoothly, if a bit noisy.It has metal dimples instead of rubber feet , so it doesn't tolerate much twitching without movement.As others have pointed out, the HDMI signal going to VGA needs to be set to a lower resolution.Experiments gave an acceptable picture (the proportions are slightly off).I don't know if this box will pass the highest resolution VGA signal, it worked at 1440 x 900. My monitor doesn't support 1600 resolution line, so it could I do not test the switch above 1440. This switch box does a good job of switching VGA inputs for most purposes. If you're dealing with higher resolutions, you should probably switch to DVI or HDMI. But until I upgrade the second monitor, this is an inexpensive solution to my problem.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
