I purchased this DYNEX HDMI switch along with a Sony DVD player and an added HDMI cable. The switch worked very well. It allows one source (like a TV) to have three HDMI inputs (I only use two right now: DVD and cable TV). Worked well right out of the box.

Guest BDR has TV set with DVD player or cable TV, and this switch works perfectly for simple central push for selecting between sources. Labels on the HDMI cables identify signal sources and red LEDs clearly identify the source selected.

Most televisions come with 2 maybe 3 HDMI ports, if you are like my family you have Comcast, Fire Sticks, Blu-Ray DVD Players and any number of tech gadgets that connect to a television for better viewing. The problem is they either sit behind the television or are unplugged waiting for you to plug them in every time you need to use them. Thanks to the Dynex™ - 3-Port HDMI Switch that issue is solved in my home! They also have a 4 switch setup that I may have to get in the future but for now my needed HDMI port issues are solved. Its a small box that requires you to plug it into a power source then plug your HDMI plugs into the ports then you can sit back and enjoy which ever item you wish to watch with ease. It has a manual switch button right in the middle of the box but it also can connect automatically when it detects a power switch come on from the device you are wanting to watch. For it to switch automatically each device you plug into it must be able to be turned off completely and not in a standby mode. the switch has to be able to detect either power on or off to function in the automatic mode, otherwise you will be switching it manually. Extremely easy to use and set up! No additional resources or tools needed. It works right out of the box and comes at a very reasonable price. If you are like I was trying to figure out a reasonable way to add addition HDMI ports to your television then you need to try this little gadget out. I have put it to the test and it passed with flying colors. Now I am going to get another one for another television/computer set up for gaming and movies.

The switch is small enough to be out of the way. So far the automatic switching has been working great, so whatever device is active, it switches to that channel. Bought it for the Nintendo Switch and so far it has been great. No visual quality loss, and easy to work with.

I got this HDMI switch out of all of them because I wanted something simple that wouldn't give me another remote to try and watch out for. This switch detects which port is active and automatically changes to that port. There is a button to manually change, but I haven't needed to use it yet. I have been able to switch between three consoles without any fuss whatsoever. Meets all my needs.
