Thread: HDMI Switcher Questions

Does anyone have one and how do you like it?

I have a few questions:

1. I notice some have equalizers and some don't. Which is better?

2. I DO want a remote with it?

I'm looking at this one:
For only .40 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 4X1 Enhanced Powered HDMI Switcher w/ Remote | Auto/Powered HDMI Switch

Your opinions?

I wanted a switcher that would also switch optical audio and so i purhcased the psyclone swicther
Psyclone - HDMI Switcher

It has a remote but i am using my Harmony remote to control it too. Works without a hitch and very easy to set up. It was expensive relative to what you are looking and if you dont need Optical Audio would be obverkill. It doesnt have an equalizer
Here's the dicussion where there is another solution like this

Am I giving up PQ to accomodate more HDMI options? My set is 62".

I do like what I see on your Psyclone. I don't want another adjustment to make..i.e. gain. I would like something right out of the box to turn on and leave be. It's PS3 friendly too.

I have a BB gift card that could knock off $75 so, the price is not a problem. My local BB does not have one in stock, so I'll have to order it on line.

I guess that brings me back to PQ again. One of reviews on the Pysclone said it's a problem on bigger screens.

well i "only" have a 50" screen ! :-) but i have not noticed any picture degradation at all.

I use
For only .50 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 4X2 True Matrix HDMI 1.3a Powered Switch w/ Remote Controller (Rev. 2.0) | Auto/Powered HDMI Switch

In order to switch between my DVD player and 622 and 2 TVS. Pq is identical with or without the switcher

I will only say this on Monoprice switches.... I tried 2 of them and had numerous problems with them. Had numerous problems with AV sync, audio drops, video drops etc. I love monoprice for cables, but Monoprice was very quick to state that I could not return the switches (even though it was only 1 week since I received the packages).

I ended up getting a switch from ebay that works teriffic and for 1/2 the price of monprice wanted for the 4x1 and 5x1 models.

I think if monoprice works, that's great, they're good switches, but if you have problems, I hope you have better luck getting the items returned.

I have had a Monoprice 5x1 HDMI switch for 2 years with no problems.

I have a monoprice 5X1 and it works fine.

What the brand name on the switcher you got on ebay?
