I bought the 2x1 switch version to allow an Xbox series S and Blue Ray player to share one input. Most important for me was mantaining CEC capabilities so the TV still switches between the Xbox/Blue-Ray on HDMI2 output, and a Roku stick on HDMI1. I also wanted to make sure the all current hdmi standards in case I upgrade devices in the future.So, my initial impressions..... Wow!It's smaller than I expected and does everything I needed, auto-switching seemlessly between devices. Turn on the XBox and the switch changed to that input. With CEC passed through, the TV also switches to the the HDMI2 input. Turn on the DVD player and it auto switches to that input. Turn on the Roku and the TV will switch back to HDMI1 without issue. I also noticed that switching to the Xbox and launching a game will still trigger the TV to enable HDR and instant game response.Also, in my case the TV is supplying enough power over HDMI that I did not need the power cable.Basically, this little device works seamlessly and does everything I hoped it would. Couldnt be happier with the purchase at the moment.

This device switches one monitor between two computers. I found it to be very user friendly, with the exception that there is no way to tell if you are in auto-switch mode. I use it to switch my monitor between two computers. A USB power cord is supplied, but I didn't need it for my 4k 60Hz monitor. It has a power light as well as light to indicate which input is being used. Both are easy to see.One issue I had was that it would switch between computers on its own. I emailed customer support, and they responded within hours. There is a mode that automatically switches to the active computer. You toggle between modes by holding down the switch button for an unspecified amount of time. This is feature is buried in the manual, which is very small and in small type. The switch must have been shipped in auto-switch mode. One of the indicator lights blinked after holding the switch buttons for a few seconds, so this may be the clue that you have switched modes. Now that I am out of auto-switch mode, I am very happy with this switch. It is much more convenient than using my monitor's controls to switch between monitors.

I wish it could auto switch to the active HDMI signal instead of having to press the button each time, but for the price, it does a great job sending through 120hz & 4K for gaming.

I purchased the OREI BK-21 8K 2x1 Switcher to enable the addition of a streaming stick by sharing a single HDMI input on an LG TV. Solid construction and compact to easily fit into my system matrix without any need to move or re-wire other equipment. It was simple to set up and performs exactly as stated. Picture quality is perfect and switching between the two devices is seamless. It has added a new dimension of top performance to my system with minor effort.

As a proud owner of an older laptop that still serves me well, I often found myself frustrated by the limitations of my device, particularly when it came to expanding my screen real estate. With no USB-C port in sight, hunting for a suitable extender seemed like an impossible task—until I stumbled upon this gem.The beauty of this USB monitor extender is its simplicity: plug it directly into a regular USB port, and you’re off to the races! I purchased it with the goal of using two external screens, and I can confidently say that it has delivered on its promise.Initially, I encountered a hiccup where one of my screens was glitchy, and I found myself worrying that I had made another poor tech purchase. However, after a brief moment of troubleshooting, I discovered that adjusting the screen display from 100Hz to 60Hz resolved the issues completely. I appreciated that the solution was straightforward and didn't require any technical wizardry to implement. Once I dialed it down, both screens worked flawlessly, allowing me to multitask like never before.If you are in the market for an extender that’s easy to set up and enhances your productivity without emptying your wallet, I wholeheartedly recommend this product. It's an ideal solution, especially for those of us clinging to trusty older laptops. With a bit of patience to tweak settings, you’ll find this extender to be an invaluable tool for transitioning to a dual-screen setup.In conclusion, if you need something simple yet effective to extend your laptop to two additional screens, this is definitely the extender to buy. It’s a reliable product that has transformed my workflow, and I'm sure it can do the same for you!

I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people's reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: This item appears well made and feels heavy duty and durable. Came in a nice package, slipped into place easily and worked perfectly and as promised. TV Picture looks crystal clear and sharp. Has a little Blue light to indicate if you are on A or B HDMI input. The light is NOT on until you turn on the item it is connected too. In my case, I was hooking a VCR and a Blu-Ray player to one HDMI 2 Input. It doesn't matter which item is turned on to cause a blue light to light up. Example: I connected everything and no light was on. I turned on the Blu-Ray which was plugged into the B input but the A Blue light lit up, indicating to me I needed to touch the button and switch it to B. I love that it does not require a power source and runs on the power supplied by the HDMI cables. I highly recommend. Good Luck.

Have to get up to physically switch it but small price to pay for third HDMI port. Need a short extension I bought separately. So far would recommend.
