Customer Reviews

Works great with PS3
I have three HDMI ports on the TV but four devices. I have a Samsung 1080P DLP with 5.1 surround. After reviewing and looking at all the switches I decided give this IOGear switch a try based on price. I have a PS3 and a Roku box sharing the device and it works perfect. The PS3 games and Blu Ray look and sound exactly the same. The Roku box streaming HD looks great. The 5.1 Dolby sounds awesome on both devices. Plus I now have an extra HDMI port. The switch is about the size of a deck of cards and to install I just plugged in the devices, connected the box to the TV and the switch was in place and working in just a minute or two. It requires no external power source. The only negative is that the green LED lights for power and HDMI source are to bright. When watching a good Blu Ray with the lights off I hide the LEDs with a remote.

Might need a power supply if using ps3 and 360
I wanted to plug in my ps3 and xbox 360 to it but there is a problem, the 360 draws too much power when it's plugged even if it is powered off (some devices seem to draw more power.) So if both systems are plugged, your ps3 will be a blank screen unless you unplug the 360's hdmi cable, or have the 360 on as well as the ps3 to get the ps3 screen to come on, which wouldn't make much sense. Oddly enough if you power only the 360 it seems to work even if the ps3 hdmi cable is plugged in.

There are 2 solutions, one is you could leave the 360's hdmi unplugged from the 3 port hdmi switch and plug it in when you wanna play the 360. OR you could buy a 5V DC 1A A/C power adapter and everything can stay plugged in and work normally (hopefully). Note power jack polarity is center pin positive, and is not included with this product.

All in all i think it was a good buy, but should have had the power adapter included.

Better value than the IOGear 4-Port. Works perfectly.
I really wanted the four port for future expansion but at almost twice the price it's not a good value. I had no problem setting up the switch with my older sony tv (DVI input) and switching between a Directv HR21, a Roku Netflix Box, and a Vudu BX100. It even works with my Logitech harmony remote so I can use that to switch all of my devices at the same time.
