Amazon Basics 4K HDMI 5 Port Switch, black

I got tired of constantly plugging and unplugging HDMI cables for different devices I wanted hooked up to my computer monitor. So went looking for an HDMI switch that would do the trick. Initially I thought I would be relegated to the extremely cheap devices that I've seen in the past but lo and behold Amazon released a device under their AmazonBasics brand. I've had really good luck with various cables I've purchased under this brand so I knew they weren't skimping on quality. Just not charging an arm and a leg for their product. The device came in typical no-frills Amazon packaging. Which was easily opened with my handy Swiss army knife. The device itself comes in a very solid feeling metal enclosure. It has a remote control which came without a batter, and a usb to dc 5v cable for external power. The LED lights are RED (thank you!!!! blue hurts my eyes). There's a single "selection" button on the front that cycles through the connections in-order. So I can leave it on my computer desk and just push the button instead of having to find a batter for the remote and then not lose the remote. All the HDMI cables plug into the back so you don't have a cable mess dangling off the front. The picture quality from my various devices is just as sharp as a direct HDMI connection. So I am pleased. Part of me wishes the remote came with a battery, but honestly I just don't need to use the remote right now.

We bought a Phillips Roku Smart TV, adn have been happy with it except for one small thing: it only had a single HDMI. We originally bought a 3 port hub, but it stopped working and was difficult to select between devices. ORdered this little gem, it arrived quickly, and has been great. Solid construction, and the ability to add up to 5 total devices has been great since we have a set-top box, HDD-DVR, Blu Ray, XBox 360, and a Nintendo Switch. Easily allows us to switch between them with the remote while keeping them all connected and ready to go. Would definitely recommend this if you need to expand or simplify your HDMI setup.

I had another HDMI switch and after a year it took a crap. I decided rather than buy the same one, I'd try a new one. I like the Amazon brand. They are simple and last. I figured this would be the same. So I got this all set up and nothing. PS3, PS4, Computer....nada. I thought it was the HDMI cable because the instructions said it needs to be no longer than 10 ft. My cable runs through the wall up to the mounted TV so it's at least 25 ft long. I was about ready to re wire the whole thing with a shorter HDMI and thought, maybe it's the input port in the TV. So I switched the HDMI to plug into another one in the TV. Nope. Another one. Nope. Finally I thought I'd try the 4k input and voila! So this switch will only work with 4k input. Not a big deal, I just had the 4K input dedicated to something else so I just plugged that into this switch. The only downside is now I have an extra thing which I didn't anticipate plugging into this, so I have a sixth one that I have to switch out when I want to use it. Not that big of an issue. I hardly use it anyway. The one thing I do love about this switch is it doesn't automatically sense input and change on its own. That really bugged me about the old one. I'd be playing PS4 and it would periodically blank out for about 5 seconds because I had the computer on at the same time. It was so annoying. So the fact this one doesn't do that, it's a HUGE plus. It's nice that you can switch using the remote or if you can't find it (because it's stuck between the cushions) you can switch it manually. It's sturdy, well made and works as intended. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the 4k thing. If it worked with either kind of HDMI input I'd give it 5. Hopefully it lasts longer than the last one. As a side note, I used a label maker to label the inputs on the remote so anyone (namely my husband) can pick it up and know which number controls which device. Makes it a little easier to switch. Especially if you have multiple gaming consoles hooked up and you can't remember which one is which.

There is not a cheaper 5-port HDMI switch out there as of this review. The price is incredible, especially if you get an Amazon Warehouse one to knock a few extra bucks off. It works even without the power adapter, remote and all. CR2032 batteries are not included, but you can get a 2 pack at famous dollar store that's name ends with tree. I love that all of the ports are in the back, even the output, so that I can route all my cables cleanly around the back of my home arcade.

I got confused by the description and thought it would automatically switch inputs when I turned devices on. That is not the case, you have to press the button on the unit or use the included remote to switch inputs (a battery for the remote is not included). When I reread the product description I saw how someone could get confused about that. Otherwise, the video quality and sound quality is excellent for me, keep in mind, however, that I am gaming on a 1080P screen and not 4K. I have the switcher setup to my PC, Xbox One, PS3, Nintendo Switch, and Rasberry Pi 3, everything works flawlessly for me.

Like many other reviews on here have stated, this switch will stop working after a few months. I got this switch for a great price and hooked up my various consoles like the ps4, nintendo switch, and ps3 to it. Everything worked great at the beginning. Then about 6 months in, my ps4 which was connected on port 2 starts to have the image flicker randomly while I'm playing. Avoid this issue and look for another switch.

I needed to add additional HDMI ports, as I have 5 computers and a Dish DVR to connect to a 4-port TV. I looked and looked, and finally decided on this one. It had everything I needed, and the price made it a great value. It was a breeze to install, and it's done everything I needed.

Sólo la entrada 1 y 2 soportan 4K, las demás 1080p.

筐体もしっかりしており、動作に問題もない。 誰にでもお薦めしたい製品。 あえて一つだけ要望するとすれば、リモコンのボタン電池を入れる部分の蓋が緩く、キッチリ閉まらないことくらい。この問題がなければ、完全満点製品だと思う。

Muy fácil de instalar y de usar, el único detalle es la calidad del control remoto, es un plástico de baja calidad y la tapa de la batería no abre ni cierra bien.

ほかの方のレビューのおかげで、CR2025を買い忘れることはありませんでした。しかし、リモコンにはめるとき、電池ケースをうっかり上下逆にはめてしまい。電池ケースが抜けなくなりました。 これは、注意です。 また、本製品接続前は、テレビからレコーダーを制御できていたのですが、できなくなりました。 私のやり方が悪いのかもしれませんが... 対策として、テレビに対して、FireStickTVとゲーム機、テレビからの制御ができなくても支障がないものを接続しました。幸い、FireStickTVからの給電で本製品はバッチリ動きます。（オプショナルのDC給電は必要なし） 結果として、満足のいく環境になりました。

Compre este articulo en abril del año pasado. Al principio me pareció un aparato hecho de buen materia y sencillo de usar. Funciono perfectamente hasta hace unas semanas, inicio con la falla de un par de puertos HDMI, creo que quizás era el cable, o el equipo que enviaba la señal, sin embargo, al cambiar de puertos el mismo aparato si daba señal. El día de hoy 20 de marzo, casi un año después de la compra, dejo de funcionar. Ya intente desconectando de la energía, desconectando todos los cables, y nada funciona. No lo recomiendo.
