    HDMI Switch

    I don't post very often, but thought this would be a good place to pose this question.

    Need a good HDMI switch to run my PS4, Xbox One:360 off of.

    Any suggestions?

    I use this:

    LED's can be a bit bright depending on how you like it, but it's nothing a little tape can't fix. I needed one with Toslink as that's the input my surround sound uses.

    You don't have to spend that much on this.

    Get either a $15 one off of amazon or if you want to splurge and have one with more reviews this one for 40 has like 2500 reviews.

    I use that second one Boyiee posted, have never had any problems with it. My only complaint, it automatically switches whenever you turn on the device instead of having priorities. But ya know, first world problems and all..

    I think that's what most people enjoy about it. Turn ps3 on, it switches right to it.

    I have both switches and they've lasted me a long time.

    Forgot to get back to this thread... Arkanna, it's not that my google-fu is bad, it's just I wanted real experience on stuff like this from people who I can trust more.

    User reviews can be manipulated and such, but yea, paranoia much?

    Thanks guys!

    Looking at the date and time, I think I was half-buzzed when I posted that. I don't even remember it, tbh. Sorry about that!

    No worries at all Arkanna, was just explaining myself.

    I decided to go w/ the second switch Boyiee posted. I typically like to "buy once, cry once".

    I thought about an HDMI switch since my 42" Samsung only has two HDMI ports. Would people recommend buying one or am I going to run into weird frequency/resolution/DHCP issues?

    Shouldn't run into any of that as long as it's decent quality.

    Just bit the bullet and purchased this one as it will be enough for the PS3/4,XB1 and my PC. If anyone was thinking about it and want a review of how good it is, pm me and i'll let you know after this weekend.
