Works great especially considering the price

Got more devices than HDMI inputs on TV, this provided the solutions I needed and was impressed with its functionality. Devices don't complain when switching between sources. Remote keeps from having to get up to change input. PIP allows you to see a version of each device that is active in a small window allowing you to pick input without knowing what device is hooked up to which port. Note: First unit I received had a problem where the screen would flicker from time to time. Returned it and…

Pros
  • Works as described
Cons
  • IR remote may require line of sight

Perfect but good luck for universal remote programming

This Switcher is perfect for small entertainment centers and with not much room. It’s nice and thin, no vents or weirdly placed ports so it can be flush against the side of a shelf. The remote is good, but in my case I wanted to use it with my universal remote. Thankfully the remote I have can ad unbranded products, but if you need the specific brand and model number to program your remote, you might find that rather difficult. Overall, this splitter is perfect for my needs. I might buy again…

Pros
  • Dingsun
Cons
  • May not be user-friendly for non-technical users

Great Product: my feedback

Works like a charm. 3 in: Laptop, Blue Ray and Directv. 2 out displays: 24" PC monitor and 50' 4K Vizio. Highly recommended for my use and the price.

Pros
  • Does what it's supposed to do.
Cons
  • May not support all audio codecs

Works Wonderfully.But.LED’s and INPUTS Are Backwards

This little box functions quite well. A breeze to install. Mind the short power cord, the AC outlet will need to be close. Picture quality is not degraded and sound quality is not impaired.But… The LED’s in the front are completely backwards to the HDMI input positions in the back. Is that a problem, not really. It is just funny from a technical perspective. Keeping connections and the display section LED’s intuitively placed would have been nice. In another words the LED on the right is to the

Pros
  • the power supply cord is to short, you will need an extension cord.
Cons
  • May not work with some gaming systems

Great product from a great company.

Great product. Very easy to set up and use. Great company for customer service. Had an issue with a prior order that they addressed promptly and properly. Would not hesitate ordering from them again.

Pros
  • Unbox. Plug in and enjoy
Cons
  • May have limited functionality with some devices

Great HDMI Splitter

Word of advice, use the power adapter included. I plugged it into a multi USB I had on my outlet and it started to have issues with switching to other HDMI connections on its own. Great splitter especially for older flat screens that only have one or maybe 2 HDMI connections.

Pros
  • Remote is pretty flimsy and takes a second to respond. But overall it was worth it.
Cons
  • HDMI cables not included

Works but not for what I intended.

It works its just I was hoping to be able to use this to split multiple devices across two screens and see two different sources at once but it just duplicates the selected input to the two outputs. Really my fault for not understanding but just pointing it out if anyone has my same intent. Doesnt do that.

Pros
  • Simple to set up, very intuitive to use, good value for the money. Highly recommended!
Cons
  • Poor picture quality

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…

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

Don’t waste your money

I have been buying HDMI switchers for several years and this one is a "No Good”! The switcher kept shutting down & coming back up. I thought it was my Network until I was changing that out and noticed this thing going off/on by itself. I finished up the New Network and went for my old switcher (not this brand, the dog ate the remote) pushing the button wasn’t so bad for something to work. I bare purchased this a month ago.I Do Not Recommend

Pros
  • Easy to connect and work on manual and auto mode
Cons
  • Limited warranty

Works, though pip motion is glitchy

It switches just fine but the small PIP windows are very jerky and glitchy. They are refreshed in a cycle approximately once a second while in PIP mode. For the price it's an ok deal.

Pros
  • To get more HDMI switches
Cons
  • May cause signal loss

Works like a charm, however.

$20 is a great deal on this switch. Be sure you ask for "4 in and 1 out." I have an hp, Mac mini, Apple TV and a PS3 all hooked up to this. I also have a bi-directional "1 to 2" switch to switch between a big screen and my smaller flat screen that I use for my two computers (mainly). At first nothing worked. So I read the directions (hey, I'm a guy, what do you expect?). The directions are written for a person with 20/10 vision. You definitely need a magnifying glass to read them. And this is…

Pros
  • Distribution
Cons
  • May not work with all Blu-ray players
