 Not a bad switcher. You could pay more for better build. October 6, 2008
Nash-O (Nashville, TN)
Got this one for under $60 bucks from Abacus (don't know why they're sold for so many different prices on Amazon). Its the same Chinese OEM stuff from Monoprice. The unit itself is metal and very simple. The HDMI connections are gold plated and seem solid enough. I tested with Comcast HD box, DVD upconverting DVD player, Xbox 360 and PS3. Everything works fine, though the first time the Xbox 360 experienced periodic stuttering of video. I think I had it on a different port the second time an all was well. The remote is chintzy and cheap but, c'mon, its 60 bucks and it works fine (at least they gave you a couple of cheapo batteries in the box).
All in all nothing to complain about. It works as advertised and saved me from buying 5 25ft hdmi cables to send to the LCD on the wall.
Great HDMI Switch Box at a great price August 30, 2008
Stephen L. Ferrell (Dunbar, WV)
This is a great box at a great price. I first bought a piece-of-crap switch box from CircuitCity that kept introducing interference on my 47' Polaroid flatscreen HDTV whenever I wanted to display 1080p content.
Unlike the the unit I purchased from CircuitCity, this box is well constructed out of metal, not plastic, and handles every format that I send to it without any problems. Plus the remote works well too or I can just let it auto-switch between components.
Excellent Product August 23, 2008

This is my third HDMI switcher and things have certainly gotten easier from the first one. This product is easy to set up and easier to use. I have had no problems and highly recommend this product.
 Not working with Tivo Series 3 DVR August 3, 2008
Chris / Middie (PA, USA)
So here's how this switch does not work with a Tivo DVR:
HDMI switch detects Tivo Series 3 DVR after switching from another source, and promptly about 10 seconds later the switch acts as if the Tivo is not currently active. And the HDMI switch continues to do this as many times as a person wants to repeat the process, selecting the input for said DVR. In other words, if you start to watch your Tivo, ten seconds later your video/sound turns off.
The only way to keep the Tivo source active is to unplug the power cord in the back of the switch, and plug it back in again. Switch to any other connected HDMI device and then back to Tivo and the behavior I've described above comes back 100% of the time.
This one's going back. If the switch worked correctly, the 5 HDMI inputs would be a great deal. (Presently, I'm looking at the Oppo HDMI switch. Future expansion is on my mind, and that one has fewer HDMI ports.)
Why two stars for the Monoprice switch instead of one? It is possible that this switch works just fine for some people's equipment. But a Tivo is a pretty standard chunk of hardware for many people. Gamble on this one knowing you might need to send it back.
(Equipment in the mix: Pioneer plasma, Tivo Series 3 DVR, Philips upsampling DVD player. I did not attempt to see how the switch works or does not work with my Sony PS3 due to not being able to get by the problem with how this switch reacts to a Tivo DVR. The DVD player did work just fine through the switch. Switch back to Tivo and... SURPRISE!)
Very reliable - excellent value July 28, 2008
Stephen Marth (San Ramon, CA United States)
This unit works great for switching HDMI inputs. I am using all 5 device ports and they all make solid connections to a 75foot HDMI cable run to my video projector.
I found that I needed a better quality cable for my Blu-ray player but all the other devices work without issues. One nice feature is that it seems to automatically select which ever input is active. Very handy if only one device is powered on.
I expected to have to pay twice what this unit costs so this is truly a great value.
I agree other reviewers that the LED indicators are too bright when displaying red, but that can be resolved by angling the box away from the viewer.
