The Rocketfish 8k (or 4k 120 for most people) switch has made my desk setup streamlined and fun to use. I currently have a Google 4k streamer, and Xbox hooked up using all HDMI 2.1 to utilize the full functionality of the devices. I used to run my laptop using HDR 4k 120 (which worked great), but I switched to USB-C Displayport. All devices are running thru an Audioquest Forest 48 HDMI 2.1 cable going to my Samsung 32" 120hz 4k OLED. This product was the key for connectivity, and worked according to its purpose very well. Remote is nice too but I use the toggle button on the front more often than not.

For the first hour or so it worked fine, but then we had two issues on the first day. First, the TV and sound system all randomly turned off while watching TV. This never happened before with the switch that we were using previously. Additionally, the screen became green, with seemingly hues from two different images (see picture). Might have just been a damaged unit, but my experience wasn’t great. Lastly, the switch advertises“auto input switching” capablities but they are limited. It only auto switches if you plug in a new hdmi cable or remove the cable that is the current source.

I got this switch because my short-throw home theater projector only has 1 input HDMI, as the second one is used by my soundbar for audio output. This switch allows me to have multiple source devices connected to it without me having to constantly unplug and plug in cables. It is plug-and-play, sets up quickly, and intuitive to use. The device comes with a USB-C cable and wall adapter for power and two double-sided stickers, if you want to fix it in place. There are also rubber feet on the bottom to prevent sliding and keyhole ports for wall mounting. The switch has a ‘select’ button on the front as well as LED indicators for power and the four inputs. When switching inputs, the display will go blank and its takes 4-8 seconds for the new source video to show up. In addition to changing the input, long pressing the ‘select’ button twice allows you to toggle on or off auto-switch mode. While off by default, when enabled, auto-switch will change to any new HDMI source when it is connected and powered on and swap to the next available connected input if the current input is unplugged or turned off, and I found that this feature works exactly as expected. The unit also comes with a remote that has the numbers 1 through 4 on it for selecting the corresponding input source; just note that the remote cannot toggle auto-switch mode and runs on a CR2025 coin cell battery. The switch supports up to 8K video input/output (7680x4320 @ 60Hz, or 4K @ 120Hz), Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR10, and HDR10+, and HDMI versions 2.3, 2.2, and 1.4 with up to 40 Gbps bandwidth (10 Gbps per lane). For 8K resolution, the HDMI cable must be HDMI 2.1 and no longer than 10ft to prevent signal degradation. It also passes through audio just fine but doesn’t perform audio extraction or support mixing multiple inputs for split-screen viewing. While my highest resolution device is currently only 4K, the video and audio quality was just as clear and crisp as directly connecting to the projector without any noticeable transmission lag. Now I can have my FireTV for streaming, gaming consoles, and laptop all connected to the projector simultaneously and switch between them at the press of a button. I'll also be ready for higher resolution devices in the future when upgrading to 8K.

The Rocketfish HDMI switch is great! It is compact, it is light, and works perfectly. I like that it comes with 4 Inputs, greatly increasing my TVs input capacity. It comes with a small remote that includes a battery. The remote is simple, containing four numbered buttons corresponding with the input number. The switch is also wall mountable, and it comes with thick double sided tape to anchor it to the surface and prevent it from sliding. The HDMI ports are nicely and evenly spaced so as to not feel like the back is too crowded. A red light indicator in front of the switch shows you what input is currently active. The switch is able to output an 8K resolution, although I only tested out to 4K and it works perfect. It comes with a USC charging cable with a block. The switching happens almost instantly, so no big delay like old, outdated switches. There is also a button on the device to switch it there in case you misplace your remote. Overall, I highly recommend this switch. It makes it so easy to use multiple devices in an input limited TV.

This HDMI input switcher is basically future proof. It supports HDMI input at 40 GBPS data transfer rate and compatible with resolution up to 8K at 60 HZ resolution. In other words, should 8K TV becomes significantly cheaper in the near future, this HDMI input switcher will not become obsolete. And that is a good product value proposition. The input switcher supports HDMI cable version 1.4 up to 2.3. It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR as well as DTS HD, Dolby Truee HD lossless digital audio. There are 4 HDMI input ports so there’s enough open ports for my game console, streaming device, and Bluray player. It comes with a remote control to switch input swiftly and the included AC adapter is connected through a 6 feet USB to USB-C cable, which is long enough for my use. I use the input switcher to manage HDMI connection to my UST projector, which sadly only has 2 HDMI ports that are all used up. It works great and all my devices’ HDMI input needs are all covered. Since it works basically as an HDMI port extender, I find it more convenient to manage HDMI connection through a switcher like this one rather than doing it from the HDMI ports at the back of the projector.

I was happy to find this switch. We were getting tired of cable swapping. So this was just what we needed. Casual gaming with our game console running through the switch doesn’t seem to suffer any lag. And switching between inputs on the switch is easy with the included remote control. I was hoping it would auto switch if only one of the attached devices is powered on, but it doesn’t seem too. This is not a showstopper though. Since the remote works fine and the box has an input select button on the front panel just in case we misplace the remote. The switch is small and easily fits next to my TV. The remote is simple with a power button and four numbered buttons to select the desired input. It uses (and comes with one installed) a small button type battery that is readily available. Besides the remote, the switch comes with a small power block and USB A to USB C cable to power the switch. It also comes with instructions and a couple of pads as additional feet. While I don’t have an 8K TV to test this with, it works great with my 4K TV. Plus, when I eventually upgrade to 8K, I’m ready.

This HDMI switch unit is a space saver. This is a great addition to your entertainment setup if you have multiple devices that need to connect to your television. This HDMI switch unit features Four HDMI ports that transfers both audio and video up to 8k at 60Hz. It comes with a remote control to switch the output devices or you can use a button on the unit itself. There is also and auto-switch option that can switch your device's output. This unit has mounting keyholeson the bottom in case the user wants to hang the unit. It supports HDR10, Dolby Vision HDR, DTS HD, Dolby TrueHD digital audio and up to 40 Gbps of data. HDMI cable is not included. This HDMI switch unit can add more ports for your television or help with a television that has minimal HDMI ports available. Installing the unit to the television is not complicated and easy to do. Just plug the devices on the back of the unit and it's ready to use. Overall this unit is a great addition to any setup that uses multiple HDMI devices.

With so many things in life now requiring a screen, it's tough to set it all up without having your house or office overrun with tv's and monitors. It's even tougher when you have limited space to do it all. That's the situation I have. 3 people in a small house where one works from home half the time, one has school homework assignments, one has multiple jobs working from all, and all who game and stream. Luckily, we're not all doing those things at the same time, that means we can share workspaces, somewhat at least. Myself, I'm in software development as well as being a content creator, gamer, streamer and more. I develop on a linux machine, create content with a macbook, and game with a pc. I have hubs to connect most things, but switching between tasks often means still having to move plugs and cables around. This can be a hassle to where I try to do things in blocks of time to avoid that hassle. That is where this switch comes in. It's not the first switch i've tried, but I haven't had the best experiences with some of them previously. Especially when working with a macbook, which can be finicky about how it's connected to displays. This Rocketfish one though is a different story. Setting it up was pretty much just plug and play. I unboxed it, chose the monitor I wanted to use for switching, plugged its hdmi cable in to the output, plugged the various hdmi cables from my devices to the inputs, and plugged the ac adapter in and voila, it was all working. Within minutes I was switching what was being displayed on my monitor with a click of a button. Even better is the remote which has a button for each input. The remote is a bigger feature than you'd think to have. Since each input has its own button, there's no cycling through the inputs a button press at a time. Just click the one you want and go right to it. And because I didn't have to reach over to the switch itself, I could set it up in a spot where it doesn't make a cluttered mess, regardless of whether it made reaching it physically tougher or not. The biggest concern with switches like this though is how well it transfers the signal to fully make use of higher resolution monitors. I'm happy to report this one does what it says and handles high resolution with ease. In my case, I set it up to work with my 32" 4K monitor, and achieved full resolution from all my devices, macbook and pc gaming included. Auto-switch mode is a nice feature also. This automatically switches to a new input, or switches back to the next connected input when the active one is turned off or disconnected. You can disable this mode too if you want, and if there's one negative I have with this switch, it's the process for enabling/disabling auto-switch mode. It can only be done on the main switch by pressing and holding a button in a specific way and sequence. It would have been much better if rocketfish added a button to the remote to do this. It's not that big of a deal and I admit is a bit nit-picky, but it really is the only negative I could find. To wrap this up, I highly recommend this switch for anyone needing to share a monitor between 2 to 4 devices. It makes life a lot easier, especially if the monitor is being shared between multiple people too.

The central anchor in my entertainment system is my updated Hue Sync Box. Without a native TV app—which is only available on Samsung and LG TVs—I have to use the Sync Box to get the lights to coordinate with any content. Unfortunately, the Sync Box only has four inputs. This Rocketfish 8K switch has been the best way to rectify that problem. The switch has four ports, and so far, the automatic switching has been flawless. The box is very small and fits into my setup without taking up too much space or causing clutter. It comes with its own adapter, but the power draw is very small. Since I also have a 4K switch that I use for older gaming systems, I was able to plug both into a multi-port USB dock and power them together, which saves space on the outlet—a small but helpful note if you have limited outlet space. When powered up, as expected, there’s no signal degradation, and the numbers match up in terms of refresh rate. The remote itself is very basic, with simple power and input selection. It’s infrared, so there’s no Bluetooth or smart integration. That being said, there are no negatives to report. It works as intended and fits neatly into my setup without being cumbersome or distracting. A great way to future-proof your system or add ports to an existing setup without buying larger, more expensive components.

I bought this as a gift for a family member who has a TV with only one HDMI port (which is already used up by their live TV setup). So, using a streaming stick or any other device (Fire Stick, Roku, etc) meant constantly unplugging and swapping cables which is way too much of a pain to do each time. This is the solution to exactly that problem giving you up to 4 ports in one. It also comes with a compact wireless remote which is essential. My only two concerns: the remote is small enough that it could easily get misplaced and it doesn't run on AA/AAA batteries (I believe it uses a button cell type battery), so you'll need to keep those stocked up. Would have also been a nice bonus if it included a spare HDMI cable in the box. Otherwise, this is an excellent fix for a truly annoying problem. And do yourself a favor: make sure you get one like this that includes a remote. Nobody wants to get up every time they switch inputs especially if this is sitting in a bedroom and you're already settled in for the night. I know my family member wouldn't and that's exactly why I chose this specific model. I wrote this review shortly after gifting it to them so keep in mind I can't do a long term usage review here, but I hope this helps.

Running out of TV inputs and need to plug in more HDMI components? This is what you need. The Rocketfish 4-input Ultra HD HDMI switch allows you to plug 4 HDMI inputs into the splitter and run 1 HDMI to your monitor. It does this while maintaining a high resolution for each of the inputs. Contents The Rocketfish HDMI switch comes with the following: • 4-port HDMI Switch • 6 ft USB-A to USB-C cable • AC Power Adapter • Remote Control • Quick Setup Guide • Rubber feet Setup It’s pretty easy to set this up, but you’ll need to provide some HDMI cables to do so. Connect the HDMI inputs and run one HDMI to the TV from the output. Plug the power adapter into the USB cable and then into the switch. You are setup. Features • Compact Size (roughly 6” x 2”) • Has mounting holes built-in. Perfect for mounting to the wall or back of furniture. • Push button on face of splitter to change inputs and power on/off. • Remote has a power button and four input buttons to allow you to directly select the input without cycling through each input. Video and Sound Quality The HDMI splitter supports the following video and audio settings: • 8K at 60 Hz • HDR 10 and Dolby Vision • Compatibility with HDCP 1.4, 2.2/2.3 • Has bandwidth of 40 Gbps • DTS HD, Dolby TrueHD audio My Impression The HDMI switch seems to work really well. I didn’t notice any lag playing video games. Colors seem accurate and the image quality is sharp. When you switch between inputs there is about a 2-3 second delay before the input appears. Overall I like it. This is one of those items that you expect to just work, and it does. I am giving the Rocketfish 4-input Ultra HD HDMI Switch 5 stars. I like the compact size and having the mounting holes on the back. The picture looks clear and colors are sharp. Good experience with it so far.

Great resolution and now I don’t have to be disconnecting hdmi’s for the kids consoles or whatever and slot of wirers running! Super easy to set up !

Easy to setup all devices to tv. I had bought this product to connect blu ray player speaker set, dish and a roku to my parent tv as they dont have a smart tv. Quality of video and sound is great

Worked flawlessly right out of the box. Truly a plug n play solution. Remote works flawlessly even with the device mounted behind the TV. Able to switch inputs on the fly and supports 8k just as advertised. Highly recommend for those who need additional inputs on their TV's. I installed this on a 85" Samsung TV with limited HDMI inputs due to needing to use the ARC for my Sonos system. Was able to add a PS5 and Xbox with no issues whatsoever.

I wanted to connect Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and Switch 2 to the same HDMI port on a TV so they can all share the same picture settings and use game mode instead of film maker mode. This switch comes with a USB power supply, but it only needs the standard 5V/1A provided by any USB port, so I'm able to power it with an unused USB port on my A/V receiver. There's a single input select button on the front of the switch, and there's a remote with a button for each of the 4 inputs. However, it also does auto-switching if you turn this feature on, which is explained in the documentation. (You have to power it off using the remote, then hold the select button down on the switch to enable and disable this.) With auto-switching enabled, the switch changes whenever a connected device turns on, and if it happens to have gone to sleep, it wakes up instantly. The only real drawback of this device is that it supports only 40 Gbps rather than the full 48 Gbps, but the only source device that is cable of using 48 Gbps is a PC sending 4K/120 at 12-bit color. This is acceptable for consoles. Very happy with this and wish I had purchased ages ago.

Does what it's supposed to do. I like that it has a switching button on the front, and also comes with a remote. Only complaint is that the light is kind of bright.

Works great!! Does exactly what we need it to do. Would recommend

This item works great. I have several components that run through this and it provides a nice clean solution to wire management. I only have a couple HDMI's running to the tv and everything else running to this switch.

This saved me money in the long run vs getting multiple cables that were longer. I used this when Best Buy ran my cables through the wall it saved me a couple of hundred bucks. I recommend if you have multiple consoles

I’ve been using this hdmi switcher for the past couple of months to switch between my different consoles and its been working perfectly. It allows my consoles to display a 4k 120hz which was what I was looking for. The remote it comes with is extremely convenient to swap between the different inputs
