SOWTECH(TM) HDMI Switch, 3 Port HDMI Switch with Pigtail HDMI Cable, Gold Plated Connector, 3D support, HDMI Switcher Splitter for HDTV, PS3, Xbox One, 360, Bluray Player, DVD Player etc.

Bought 3 of these HDMI switches to let me easily share my three 27" computer screens between multiple laptops in various combinations. The three sockets allowed me to use one socket on each switch to connect my screens to a triple monitor Dell USB Hub, and then use the remaining two sockets to attach other video cables that I can use instead of the Dell hub to attach my laptops directly to individual screens in varying combinations. I wasn't sure whether, with all three sockets populated, the switches would automatically use whichever socket was receiving a signal. Happy to say that works perfectly. My PCs with HDMI and DisplayPort sockets work perfectly with these switches. Now connecting my Dell Hub via its single USB cable to a laptop immediately connects all three screens to that laptop. Connecting different laptops directly to the screens via the spare HDMI or DisplayPort cables I attached to sockets 2 & 3 of each switch allowed those laptops to display on one or two different screens depending on which cables I connected. This setup allows me to connect my screens to laptops in any combination. The switches work faultlessley to allow me to share my screens in any combination I want simply by plugging the right cable(s) into my laptop. Response and picture are perfect, regardless of which combination of laptops and displays I'm using. Great experience!

Works beautifully!! However, my PS4 doesn't work well with it. Please note that the Playstation 4 will have trouble with ANY splitter, not just this one! My PS4 regularly loses signal but I've noticed that the SOWTECH HDMI switch is NOT at fault. The PS4 does not supply enough power via the HDMI cable to keep the switch receiving enough of a signal, so it regularly cuts out. It appears that my Wii U and my PS3 do not have this issue however. I have switched all of their HDMI cables over, and have tried them in all 3 ports each, and the PS4 had a problem each time. Therefore, if you have a PS4 and intend to use it with a splitter like this product, it probably won't work! The PS4 must be plugged DIRECTLY into your TV!

These work pretty much as described, but not in the use case I wanted them for. Not really suitable for use with PCs and Laptops as when you switch to another input the screen is completely disconnected from the original source (equivalent to pulling the cable), meaning your windows all move around to other screens, resize, some applications (especially full screen ones) even crash. I was hoping to use these as a cheap alternative to a KVM switch box..... apparently not :(

Bought to use with amazon fire tv and now tv box, basically its very simple to use, plug it in and plug the sources into it - if you have all the inputs switched on at the same time then you need to use the switch on it to toggle between the sources but if you only have one switched on it selects that one automatically. Ideally it could do with a longer lead as it isn't long enough to be able to have it in an easy reach place to use the manual switch so I have to reach down behind the AV box and tv, but apart from that its a good little product.

This item is not auto-switching and has to be done manually using the button switch on top of the case. Apart from that the item works as a manual switch only. Another issue is that some may have is the length of cable between HDMI Port and adapter / switch. It may be left suspended when in use unless which when 3 HDMI's are attached could have an weight/pull effect on the cable. It would be prudent to fix/stick it to the reverse of the appliance away from any heat vents and within easy reach to operate. Not sure about the 4K aspect as it has not been tested. I have been in contact with supplier who weren't clear about their own description of the item in that they stated it was auto sensing and labelled it as a 'plug & forget' device which is clearly misleading:- Their description is as follows: Smart Operation - HDMI switch 4K/2K upgraded version has quick button-press-switching function Easily switches three sources to one display; HD Audio and HDCP compliant This is a high performance HDMI Switch. It can easily switches three sources to one display. It not only has the key-press-switching function,but also has intelligent plug-and-forget sensing capability that switches input when a signal is detected. With one fixed HDMI pigtail cable, this converter not only reduces cost but also save time for consumers. This misleading information led me to believe the switch is auto-sensing especially when it clearly states plug-and-forget as a selling point. This is clearly not the case.

Recently purchased a second one for my TV in the bedroom. The device is easy to set up and plugged in SKY HD multi room and Sony blu Ray player. I'd read on other reviews that the device does not auto detect sky boxes. This is still the case. When changing HDMI output from Amazon Fire stick to the splitter it does not switch to SKY box even though the sky is already on. Nevertheless this is a fantastic product that is exceptional priced and upgrades older TVs that don't have multiple HDMI outputs. Also thanks to Amy at customer relations for helping out.

After my original purchase failed to work for me, and writing a (on reflection) rather scathing review, I'd like to update the review! After the review, Sowtech customer services contacted me, and I have to say, they were fantastic and offered too help in anyway possible. Ultimately, my replacement product arrived yesterday. After following the instructions to the letter, there was a brief moment of hope, when the title screen of my PS4 flickered on, then off for a few seconds. Alas, it disappeared, and hasn't come back, no matter what I try! Personally, I have no idea why it doesn't work with MY equipment... One of those things I guess. Even though I'm disappointed, I cannot praise Sowtech customer services enough, and if they sell a similar product (but with its own power supply) then I would be happy to do business with them again.

With an ever increasing array of equipment that needs a HDMI socket I finally ran out of them so looked about for an HDMI switch. The PROS: Discreet & small, you can easily tuck behind your TV. No more yanking out the cable, this can never be good for your TV. Very well priced, it seems well made too. Nice bright blue light so you know what cable is connected. Very simple to use, just the one button. The CONS: I would have liked the button you press to change cables to be lit up and be a bit bigger, this is a very minor gripe and is perhaps down to my poor eyesight. There is no remote, I personally don't want another remote to add to my vast array of equipment. This is a very good price and I'm astounded that some switches charge 4x more for something that does the same job - a great wee gizmo to make life easier.
