(More customer reviews)My LG tv has only one HDMI input and I reached the point where I had more devices that output HDMI. I bought this product because it was v1.3 certifited. Somehow the certification gave me confidence to buy from a Amzaon seller, which I normally don't buy from (had a few poor experiences).
Setting up was easy. Like many other devices, it comes with a power adapter; so you need space for yet another.
I wanted to view the output from my Canon HG10 camcorder on my TV. I connected the camcorder via each of the ports of the switch. With the first port, I saw the video with a lot of horizontal lines. The picture had periods of blackness (a few seconds) on and off. With other ports I got 'Invalid Format' error again and again. With my Toshiba DVD recorder/upconverting DVD player, the output was fine through the switch. Output from my blu-ray PS3 was okay.
The seller shipped me a 5-port at no cost. Same result - invalid format error for my Canon. The 5th port wouldn't work even with my DVD recorder/player.
After a few hours of testing with each of these, I returned back both to the seller at my own cost :(. Bottom line, not worth it as it may not work with all devices! My advice is research if the switch specifically suppports the brand of your HD device.
