Life savor. When lighting hit the tv was zapped. No one sells dumb TVs any longer. I have components to use. I purchased this to see if it would work. It does. The picture isn't as clear had I had a tv with components but it will do.

Been working well no complaints, Other than the small wire at the side micro 5V is a bit wobbly fit. Works with all game consoles.

The switch has a good design, but randomly cuts the feed from the inputs. Sometimes it will be multiple times a minute for multiple seconds.I would not recommend buying the product.The seller has reached out to me and refunded my purchase.

I was looking for a switch that would allow me to input several sources through one hdmi cable to my television, and this worked fabulously!It comes with a remote, which I have yet to use. I put labels to identify the inputs and just manually push the button for the input I want to use. It's easy peasy and works really well.There is no loss in signal strength or quality and I recommend this highly! I plan to purchase another for my other "not so smart" tv.HIGHLY recommend.

The switcher is simple and does what it needs to for the most part. But the sensitivity of the IR receiver is weak sometimes and you have to put the remote real close to the switcher.

It does exactly what I needed it to do. I needed this because I have three units that need to use my 32" monitor, but it's only got a single input.Input 1 is handling my Mac Mini, so that works.Input 2 is handling my Windows 10 based desktop, so that's working.Input 3 is handling my new Windows 11 based laptop, and it's working fine.One of the things I like about this is that it seems to automatically switch if it detects a new incoming signal. One thing that didn't stand out very clearly to me when I ordered it, but makes sense, is that it does require power. Fortunately, the vendor chose to make it USB-C powered so you can use any charging brick you may have lying around and they provide a cable.Overall, I like it and I'd recommend it.

When I received this I hooked it up like normal and thought nothing of it. The more I used this the more I noticed that it would cut the signal to the TV from the switch, it would be powered on, lights working but the picture would cut out and the input would show inactivity. If you unplug it and plug it back in it would sometimes fix the problem but only temporarily. At this point it is unusable and I'm out the money I wasted on it and of course I'm outside of the return window. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. 100% trash.

I bought this 5x1 to replace an old $20 'Amazon Choice' 4x1 that got fried during Hurricane Helene. I chose the 5x1 of this model instead of the 4x1, since it was only $3 more for the additional port. I ordered it yesterday afternoon and it was on my doorstep when I woke up this morning. I installed it a few minutes ago and, so far, it's working perfectly.I have a complex HDMI setup in my living room, which works as follows: This 5x1 switch has my TV, my living room PC, my Roku device, my Playstation, and my Xbox One all connected to the inputs. The output of this switch goes to the input of a separate 1x4 splitter, and on that splitter, I have outputs going to my living room TV, my living room ceiling projector, my office TV, and my bedroom TV. And everything appears to be working as expected.The remote seems to work very well and switches over to another live port quickly. I will also mention that I have several HDMI surge protector adapters connected to my HDMI connections, which I previously bought from Amazon, and the switch still operates as expected.My first impression is that this is a great switch. Having it work perfectly the first time I connected everything is a real treat. If anything happens down the road, I will try to update this review, but for now, I am very happy with it.

I was rather sceptical of these hdmi switchers ( after purchasing a cheaper item from Amazon ) because of the conflicts I was having with another TV . Have to say Newcare Hdmi switch is working perfectly passing through 4K etc . All 4 inputs work . I used the usb power lead to the usb port on TV to power it . I may use a power block in the future . Overall I am impressed and liking Quaility of the build .

Dieses HDMI Switch Gerät hat meine Heimkino-Situation deutlich verbessert! Mit den 4 Eingängen und einem Ausgang kann ich jetzt ganz einfach zwischen meiner Spielkonsole, meinem Blu-Ray Player, Fire TV Stick und Beamer wechseln, ohne jedes Mal die Kabel umstecken zu müssen.Die Einrichtung ging superschnell und einfach. Ich musste nur alle Geräte per HDMI-Kabel anschließen und dann mit der mitgelieferten Fernbedienung den gewünschten Eingang auswählen. Der Wechsel erfolgt innerhalb von nur einer Sekunde und funktioniert einwandfrei.Besonders praktisch ist die Fernbedienung. Damit kann ich gemütlich vom Sofa aus umschalten, ohne jedes Mal zum Schrank mit den Geräten laufen zu müssen. Die Reichweite der Fernbedienung ist auch sehr gut.Die Bild- und Tonqualität über den Switch ist hervorragend. Auch 4K Auflösung mit 60 Hz wird unterstützt. Ich konnte keinen Qualitätsverlust feststellen im Vergleich zum Direktanschluss. Dolby Vision, HDR10 und Surround Sound werden ebenfalls unterstützt.Das Gehäuse ist kompakt und macht einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck. Die Anschlüsse sind solide verarbeitet. Insgesamt wirkt das Gerät sehr wertig und scheint für Dauereinsatz gemacht zu sein.Für mich ist der HDMI Switch ideal, um meine Geräte an den Beamer anzuschließen und bequem zwischen ihnen wechseln zu können. Die Handhabung ist einfach und intuitiv. Bild- und Tonqualität sind hervorragend. Das Gerät ist hochwertig verarbeitet und zuverlässig. Ich kann es definitiv empfehlen, wenn man mehrere HDMI-Quellen an einen Bildschirm oder Beamer anschließen möchte!

NEW REVIEW:I purchased this switch box so I can connect my PS5 and my PC to my TV using my single HDMI 2.1 4K 120hz port. So I had issues with this switch box initially, causing random flickering on my TV with my PC (RTX 3080Ti) whenever I switched from 4K 60hz to 4K 120hz. I immediately thought it was the sync box because when I plugged my OEM ROG HDMI cable directly into my TV, I didn't get any flickering. I assumed this was a problem with the switch box because everything ran perfect when I plugged the cable directly into the TV. However, the seller reached out to be about my experience and gave me many troubleshooting ideas and even sent me new HDMI cables. The problem ended up being the ROG HDMI cable I was using, was in fact an HDMI 2.0 cable. Why it still worked as good as it did and worked when directly plugged into the PC, I don't know but I switched out the cable and it works great. So if you run into screen flickering, always double check the cable, even if you assumed it was fine.I like the design with this switch box, it it compact and it has a solid, metal case. The remote is compact. IT doesn't support auto switching but this isn't a necessity for me with a PC, because I want to manually switch it from my monitor to my TV. I wish there was a power button and switch button directly on the switch box (there is the power LED that clicks but it doesn't do anything). However, I just leave the remote in one place and switch when I need to.I am really impressed with the customer service, they went above and beyond to help me and that alone is worth 5 stars. Whatever issues you might have it, buy it with and the seller will do everything they can to solve any issues and make it right.

The device comes in packed in a box with a remote control, manual and a USB power cable, the remote does not include batteries and require 2 x AAA, not a big deal as the device can be used without the remote anyway.Connected all 5 ports, tested them all, dit not notice any drop n signal quality therefore I would say the signal quality is good and spot-on.The remote I don't tend to use much as I have all my device on the same table, did test it and seems to be working by switching the signal from one HD to the other.The device supports 4K signal which is quite good.Build quality is very good all metal casing which prevents it from heating up from the inside, the device does get warm sometimes when it's up all day.My issue or downside is the need to have an additional power via the USB 5V supply, despite having 5 HDMI connections all have their own power, I wish I didn't have to connect the 5V input and used it on its own.Apart from that the device is superb and did the job as expected.
