Type of review

Had an older Sony tuner that only had 2 HDMI inputs and I had 3 HDMI sources. This allowed me to select the HDMI source that was fed into the tuner without having to get up and swap HDMI cables to the tuner. I ended up getting a SideClick for the Roku remote, which allowed me to control which HDMI source was selected to go to the tuner without having to use the remote for this device (the device remote worked well, but I wanted to minimize the number of remotes needed to make everything work…

Pros
  • This device did exactly what I needed it to do, looks good and was super easy to use.
Cons
  • Make sure this is compatible with your hdmi before buying.

Amazingly Consistent. at being difficult

I've had this switch plugged into a Samsung 7 TV for a PC, PS5, and Series X for a while and it's always a hassle to switch between devices or even use it in general. Sometimes the remote won't switch between active devices (can still power on/off somehow), sometimes it won't recognize the PS5 even if its the only device on, sometimes it'll switch to another device for no reason, etc etc. Even after disabling some features on the PS5/Xbox HDMI settings, it continues to be a difficult paper…

Pros
  • It works like a charm. I highly recommend!
Cons
  • This is great, but keeps randomly switching to another channel while we are watching a show.

Great product, only one complaint

I love it - I wish I had purchased this long ago, the cord clutter on my entertainment stand has never been more organized.My only issue is something that, at times, is a positive. I don’t like the fact that a device turning on will automatically switch the input to the newly turned on device. This can be useful, but sometimes it switches when I don’t want it to (eg, putting my Nintendo Switch on the dock while watching television will change the port to the Switch).Also wouldn’t hate an app to

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Switcher may not work with older HDMI cables

Works better than advertised.

Easy to setup, plug n play, have not used the remote control yet, since the unit sits on my desk and I use the manual switch. I am pleased with the performance of the device, there are cheaper items available, but it may end up not being all that it was advertised.

Pros
  • item returned would not work with Roku! Looks like it was built good tho.
Cons
  • More expensive than other HDMI switchers on market

Does not work for PS5 - Look for their HDMI 2.0

Update: I wrote this review when i plugged it in and noticed it did not work for the PS5. The company emailed me and sent me the 2.0 to change out. I did not write this thinking I was going to get a response at all. I was super frustrated because it was the second HDMI switch that i had bought. I have this one in my master bedroom and it works perfectly with my XBOX one.So fast forward and I received the 2.0 switch and it works with the PS5 perfectly! You need to change the settings on the PS5…

Pros
  • Supports 3D video playback, making it perfect for 3D movies and games
Cons
  • HDMI cables can become tangled or damaged easily

its an HDMI switch - my new review

what a life saver. TV in RV only had 2 HDMI ports. We had Sound bar, DVD player, Dish Network, Booster to hook up. It works well and you can tell on the remote which one you want.

Pros
  • Home Audio Accessories
Cons
  • HDMI cables can become tangled or difficult to manage

Cons
  • Remote control can be easily lost or damaged

Best HDMI Switcher To Date!

Great switcher! Super simple to connect and use. If only one connected device it currently turned on, it automatically switches the input to that device. As someone who uses an HDMI switcher simply to condense to condense my media center's inputs to 1 HDMI port, this is an extremely helpful feature. Highly recommend to anyone in need of this product.

Pros
  • Great for use in setups where wires and cords need to be streamlined
Cons
  • May not support all extended color schemes

Worked with consoles after some tinkering

Just got this in today and honestly setup was a bit of a nightmare. The device supports HDMI 1.4 and my PS4 Pro and Xbox One were both setup for HDMI 2.0/2.1. This means I had to reconnect the consoles to a free HDMI pro and configure them down to 1080p to get the device to work. Took a bit of time to figure out the problem cause most people apparently just plug everything in and boom it’s golden, but that was not my experience. Now that it’s set up though it works very well, if anything…

Pros
  • easy to use, remote is good i like it
Cons
  • Requires additional power source, adding clutter to entertainment system

Excellent - excellent support

The switch remote only lasted 9 months, but the guarantee is one year. I contacted support and they asked for the Ebay order (I sent a picture of the web page). A person named Bobby was extremely helpful. He said the remote wasn't available singularly so he sent the entire unit. After several emails, I suspect to China, were exchanged, as promised, Bobby sent the entire unit. I couldn't be more pleased.

Pros
  • Wide Compatibility
Cons
  • Switcher may not fit with existing entertainment system setup

Not compatible with TV and various tech

I bought this product twice. I have a 2021 65 inch LG 4K OLED Smart TV, a PS5, PS4, XB1, Switch, and a NUC. When I connected all 5 to the switcher, the switch kept turning off. My original thought was that the device wad damaged when I moved, so I bought another. Both have the same issue. Constant power cycles on the device due to lack of power to support HDMI 2.0+ standards.The 1.4 compliance and power draw couldn't keep up with several of the consoles. If I removed all but the PS4 and XB1…

Pros
  • SIGEER US
Cons
  • Remote control may not work from a distance

A good device for the price, but.

While the device works as advertised, there are several "features" that may warrantees choosing another device.1 - It switches automatically to the active device. This is both a blessing and a curse. If you have several device you only need to turn on the one you want to use and the unit will automatically switch to that device. This is wonderful if you like that feature, but beware. Apple TV devices among others leave the HDMI signal turned on even when the device is turned off. This locks the

Pros
  • Perfect for seamlessly switching between multiple HDMI devices
Cons
  • May experience an audio delay when switching between devices

Does not work with VIZIO.

The remote for the switch uses a similar code as Vizio smart TV. So when you try to controll the switch it controls a couple options on the TV and completely does not work with the switch. The VIZIO smart TV will also not recognize the hdmi is plugged in.

Pros
  • Offers a cost-effective solution for classrooms and conference rooms to switch between multiple presentation devices
Cons
  • May not work with all 3D devices

Simple and effective.

HDMI Switch SGEYR 5x1 HDMI Switcher 5 in 1 Out HDMI Switch Selector 5 Port Box with IR Remote :I'm running a Mac, a TiVo and a Blu-Ray player through this monitor and I needed to be able to switch between them without reaching behind the monitor to use their switch. It doesn't have a remote.At first, I was taking HDMI out of my Mac thinking that would be best since there would be no conversions, but it acted very strangely. I got random white flashes even when plugged straight into the monitor.

Pros
  • It was pretty easy to set up and the picture quality is pretty decent
Cons
  • May experience input lag or other technical issues

Remote didn’t work for my opinion

So I absolutely love this switcher! As a heavy duty gamer I have hdmi cords from system coming out of my ears and no where near enough ports on the tv. It’s been great to be able to stick to one channel and have 5 devices on it. The only problem I have with it is my remote never worked for it. I tried new batteries and all but nothing. Luckily the button on the front works fine and as long as only one system is turned on it automatically switches to it so it’s not all that bad. I can live…

Pros
  • Seamlessly switches between video streaming devices, perfect for binge-watching TV shows
Cons
  • HDMI ports can become excessively hot

Watch the hdmi std on my review.

Product works great. Problem which is my fault, is that it does not support newer technologies like current Roku or Fire cubes that require hdmi 2.0 or greater. I was not aware of the different versions so shame on me but be aware if you try to run a newer Roku through this you will keep getting an error msg on your TV that you need a better connection. Watch for switches that support 2.1 4K. Buyer beware!

Pros
  • HDMI Switch V1.4 4K 30Hz
Cons
  • Requires knowledge of HDMI technology to set up correctly

Easy to use good for me

Very simple to setup and easy to switch from different gaming consoles I have setup. Must have if you own multiple consoles and you want them all connected all at once and being able to switch which ever one you want to play

Pros
  • Supports HDCP 2.2 encryption, offering enhanced content protection
Cons
  • May experience compatibility issues with certain devices

Works well… when it works

Worked with Roku, gamecube, Blu-ray player. However only got static on Xbox series x. Disappointing cause otherwise it seemed to function great. Liked that the output went to the side. Alas, back it goes.

Pros
  • 8541770065
Cons
  • Can be difficult to find a replacement remote control

If you get 2, you can’t use a remote for them

If you plan to use 2, you’re going to have to manually switch the inputs on each individual one instead of using a remote, as the signal on the remote will control both. Otherwise, this is a great device and works well for media centers with lots of HDMI inputs!

Pros
  • Provides a seamless viewing experience without any lags or delays
Cons
  • Can interfere with Wi-Fi signals
