Solid Product
As described. It works great and auto switch is great as well. Simple to install and not oversized. No issue with connecting any of my devices.

Works Perfectly for 1440p 120hz Setup
I bought this about 2 years ago for a complete overhaul of My room and forgot about it until a few days ago. I have a Nexigo 2K 120/144hz 16in 16:10 Portable Monitor that I use in My temporary front room office space. This thing works absolutely flawlessly. When you turn something on or off, it automatically switches to the device that just turned on or back to the last device that it still detects is on, which is awesome. My laptop and Xbox Series X both detect the display and are able to display at 1440p 120hz, as if this device doesn't exist which is perfect. My PS4 has always had problems with this monitor as it doesn't have any sort of 4K mode, and it's 16:10 which puts Black bars at the top and bottom. The PS4 still tells Me "1080p (Unsupported)" & HDR is on but not supported somehow, that's no fault of the HDMI hub. With or without the hub, there are Black bars on both consoles because Microsoft & Sony didn't make them with 16:10/800-1600p in mind. 1440p 120/240hz is the highest I like to go as 4K seems unnecessary and it's hard for My eyes to pick up any differences. I love how out-of-the-way this thing feels, it comes with a remote and a switch on the device itself but the way it switches between sources has made it to where I've never had to touch the device or the remote. It's awesome. The fact that it has 2 extra HDMI ports for any other devices I might want to plug in is insane. In the future, I'm sure I'll end up plugging My new desktop I'm building and capture card into it. Usually when something says "5 Port" it usually means that one of those ports is in the "Out" port so you can really only connect 4 devices to a display but no, it actually has 5 In & 1 Out so you can hook up 5 devices at 4K 60hz, 1440p 120hz, 1080p, etc. This device seemed a little overpriced at first but I can't believe how seamlessly it works and I now feel it is worth every penny. I'll be getting another one for My room in the future!

Bought the kinivo and hit a home run SO FAR
I purchased this with hopes of having my invidia shield, ps4, and nintendo switch all hooked up at once and without having to change wires from the back of my TV 50 times a day. While I experienced a hiccup when first hooking all my devices up it was with my own error. Now I have currently have set up correctly on my kinvio box - a cable TV box, invidia shield, ps4, and a nintendo switch. They all function correctly. They all have clear picture and clean sound to my liking. So far so good. I will up date this when and IF the box decides to malfunction or die on me. I'm hoping to get a good while out of this purchase.

Works well, better than my old ones
Works well, do I got a second one. It does auto switch, but TV may influence it to an extent. Remote works very well. Indicator lights are a bit bright.

Love it!
I absolutely love it and it work effortlessly. My only down side but I won’t take points off is my tv no longer turns on when I turn my console on. That also part of my laziness so take this info how you want. Besides that I would definitely buy another if need be.

No hdcp, will not play blu rays on Xbox. Auto switch issues
Update: I moved this to my basement 1080p projector. It was fine for a while with pc, Nvidia shield and Nintendo switch. I got an Xbox series s and Ps5, and it’s back to it’s old ways. Won’t auto switch, won’t load, and generally is a piece of junk. Not sure why it cannot handle these devices but it’s not worth the headache. Worked at first with minor issues. It would switch between sources every 5 seconds if ps4 wasn’t fully powered down. Not an issue since I normally power it down instead of setting it to sleep. Next issue was that it will not play blu rays on an Xbox one s. I get an error saying connection is not hdcp compliant. Some copy protection mumbo jumbo. Pain in the rear since I had to remove Xbox off this switch. Strike three happened today. Playing my Nintendo switch, go to watch movie on firestick and it won’t play either source. It just flashes between the two. Have to unplug power source then plug back in... This is junk. It will not play well with any device that doesn’t fully power off. It will not allow hdcp content to pass through. Most devices now are always on which causes this to freak out and be unusable. I see this being useful for people who have old legacy hdmi devices that fully power off— DVD players, ps3, Xbox 360, older cable boxes, etc. it simply is not worth the headache for always on devices.

Item worked as advertised
Item worked as advertised and is easy to setup. Perhaps for manufacturer to consider another switch to turn off the HDMI switcher when not in use. Otherwise the HDMI Switcher is a good buy 👍🏼

Excellent HDMI switch
This HDMI switch works exactly as expected and has been a great solution for connecting multiple devices to a single TV or monitor. Picture quality is excellent, with no noticeable loss in image quality, and 4K HDR content displays perfectly. Switching between devices is quick and reliable, and the included remote makes it very convenient to use from across the room. I've used it with gaming consoles and streaming devices without any issues. Build quality feels solid, setup was plug-and-play, and it's saved a lot of hassle swapping HDMI cables around. Highly recommended.

Perfetto
A parte la modalità autoswitching che non posso utilizzarla causa XBOX One, come specificato anche nelle istruzioni, è perfetta: disattivatelo altrimenti non fa funzionare lo switch. Non ho effettuato una configurazione standard perché invece di andare al TV ho collegato l'output alla mia soundbar e funziona tutto magnificamente anche con Dobly Atmos e 4K@60Hz, come dichiarato. Tanto per capire la diversità dei dispositivi che gestisce senza nessun problema ho inserito: Dune HD 4K Pro (lettore multimediale), Sky Q, XBox One, lettore Panasonic 4K allo switch ed infine l'output l'ho collegato alla mia soundbar Vizio SB36512 all'ingresso HDMI IN. Infine collegato HDMI ARC della soundbar al televisore in HDMI ARC. Come già descritto funziona tutto correttamente senza interruzioni, lag o altri problemi; anche per l'audio nessun problema di alcun genere anche per quelli più recenti (Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD e Dolby Atmos). L'unica avvertenza che mi sento di dire è utilizzare dei buoni cavi HDMI: inizialmente avevo dei problemi di lag, refresh, si collegava e scollegava di continuo l'immagine, cambiato il cavo tutto ha ripreso a funzionare correttamente e senza nessun altro problema. Inoltre lo switch è riconosciuto anche dal mio telecomando Harmony quindi lo comando con questo dispositivo senza bisogno dell' autoswitching o del suo telecomando. Spero di esservi stato utile

Je suis ravie
Je cherchais la façon d'avoir toujours à portée de main et branchées mes consoles (Nintendo Switch OLED, PS4) et mon HDMI ordinateur. Le produit s'installe très facilement, il suffit juste de tout brancher. Il détecte automatiquement le USB utilisé, je ne me suis donc pas beaucoup servi de la télécommande, mais elle marche aussi à merveille les fois que je m'en suis servie. La qualité d'image est au RDV. (Utilisé sur TV Philips ambilight OLED 706, la télé détecte aussi le mode jeu en utilisant ce produit) :)
