Review on ๐Ÿ”€ HDMI Switcher 4k | GANA Intelligent 3-Port HDMI Switch with IR Remote | Supports 4K, Full HD1080p, 3D by Matt Tebow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The device works great and I recommend it, but the instructions were not complete and the support email didn't work.

The device works well. There's no difference in image quality going through the device or direct, which is good. I would recommend buying the device if you need 2 extra HDMI ports. When using the device, my A/V receiver immediately recognized that something was there and sent a signal to the TV. There used to be lag and I had to either unplug HDMI and then plug it back in or cycle devices on and off. I'm not sure why a remote control is needed unless someone is using 3 HDMI devices at the same time and needs to switch them. When I'm watching or listening to something, I usually scroll to the end before moving on to something else. I think if you're the type of person who switches TV channels, the remote control might come in handy. I had some problems with it: 1). The instructions are short. Nowhere does it say you need an external power supply. It comes with a USB cable that is not listed or pictured in the instructions and it does NOT come with a power adapter. In addition, the specifications of the device differ from those on Revain's website. Although I consider myself tech savvy, it took me a little more than what the instructions said.2). It was difficult to get support for the device. The email address provided for support was NOT working and I had to contact them through Revain. They responded quickly but communication was difficult to understand as their primary language was not American English which I speak and is spoken by most people in the US. They said they fixed the issue with email support but I didn't have to try contacting them again so I don't know for sure.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Exchange possibility
