3 x 1 HDMI Switch - for HDTV sharing

[Mtnmike]

Has anyone tried one of these HDMI switches? Looks like you can input up to 3 HDMI cables with output to the TV's HDMI port. What I am referring to is at:

If anyone has one could you advise what you think of it and is the signal at all degraded?

Thanks

Zektor makes good switches that also change the audio with the video, using coax or optical audio. They are much more expensive though, $400+

So have you used one of these and if so what is your opinion?

I have one of the 4 to 1 HDMI switches from Monoprice and it works with my 622, Toshiba HD-DVD and my OTA HD receiver.

Mike,

I just checked the Monoprice.com web site and the one I have is not sold anymore. It was replace by a 5 to 1 switch. So, I cannot guarantee that it will work the same as mine.

But, I bought something from them that did not work and there no hassle at all in returning the item.

I have Monoprice 4X1 HDMI switch and it works fine with 622, DVD, PC. Output (25') to HD projector. Now waiting for Inday audio switch to finish setup. Manual audio passive switch is not working - 35' and signal get lost.

I use the Inday audio switch with my HDMI switch. It is a good combo.
