HDMI switch - Blu-ray Forum

pentatonic · 09-11-2012, 02:38 PM

Anyone have experience with this Monoprice HMDI switch. My receiver has run out of HDMI inputs but really don't need a new receiver as my old Denon 987 still does it for me. If and when I go 3D I'm planning on the new Oppo 103 so lossless codecs will still be covered.

So back to topic, is this switch good?

I'd buy it if I needed one! I actually just got done ordering some hdmi port savers from Monoprice.

I probably will, even shipped to Canada it's by far the cheapest I can find (and will be ordering some flat HDMI cables also to spread shipping on more) but it would be nice to hear from users what they think about it (mind you most everyone here has modern receivers with 5-8 inputs)

I set up one in my sisters house do to her having and older receiving that didn't do HDMI. It works well in terms of hdmi switching, also nice remote which was also able to be programmed on to her logitech one universla remote so everything was automated. The onyl issues i had seen with er was sometimes the optical cable switchign for the sound wouldn't recognize, requiring you to manually (with remote or switchbox) to toggle the input.
Both the HDMI (for video) seemed fairly adequete, especicially for the price. She has been using it for 2 years now.

No, I didn't. I actually never heard of them but their prices are great. I also need a few HDMI cables though and on that Monoprice is hard to beat. But then add shipping.

Thanks buddy I will probably go with that since you recommend it it's probably good.

I've used two different HDMI switches from monoprice and they've both worked fine.

Yup Addison is my place, it always cost me way more money that I planned going there

. Right now they carry the cheap made by Monster ones. But I might end up buying from Monoprice after all, they have more choice (looking for a few 3' and 4' cables, looking at the flat ones) and my buddy has is cottage in Vermont so I will get it shipped there and avoid high shipping and possible duties.
