Movie Reviews of Santa Fe Trail
Movie Review: A good product with a few limitations
Summary: 4 Stars
Like other reviewers, I found this to be good switch, but I've found a few limitations. I discovered that when I attached my Sony Blu-ray player to my Sony Bravia KDL-V40 monitor through this switch, I could only get a picture on inputs 4 or 5 (the screen remained blank on inputs 1, 2 or 3, but the Blu-ray player did indicate that it had an HDMI link). I had no problems getting a picture when attaching my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player on any input. I then moved both players and the switch to my Panasonic PT-AE900U projector. I had no problems getting a picture on all five inputs with either player. I don't have a Sony Playstation, so I can't do any tests with one, but it may be somewhat finicky like my Blu-ray player.
In summary, some combinations of players and monitors may not work on all inputs through this switch. In my case, this isn't a problem, I only had two devices to hook up. Others may not find that limitation acceptable.
Movie Review: Works Well, But Is A little Balky
Summary: 4 Stars
This unit works well. But when I want to switch from one channel to another while all units are on, I sometimes have to turn off the switcher and then turn it on again. For example, if I'm watching something on Directv and wish to switch to my Blu-ray player, when I click channel 5(which is best for Blu-ray), I sometimes have to hit the off/on switch on the switcher in order to get it to recognize the Blu-ray player. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the first place, but it seems to me that it should switch from one venue to another seamlessly.
Outside of that, the unit works fine and I can see no degrading in the quality of the picture while using this switcher.
Movie Review: Great product, but you will need welding goggles.. read on..
Summary: 4 Stars
The product is great! I use it to manage my Cable box and Xbox 360. The box is completely intuitive and switch by itself to the appropriate devise. I don't even think I've used the remote once. The price is great and the quality is also very good. No problems for my 3 months of ownership.I'm not sure why people are knocking the documents?? Its a switch, there isn't a lot of confusion to which port to use is there or where to put the power. I didn't even look at it.
Cons: The indicator lights on the front of the box and nearly blinding. I'm not sure why they made them some bright, but I have to put something in front of them so I can watch TV.
Movie Review: Works well, but the user-provided picture is not correct
Summary: 4 Stars
The product works well and fits nicely with my home theater system. The Power LED is way too bright, but the channel LEDS are just the right brightness. A little black tape fixed the Power LED. :-)
Be aware that the slightly misleading Amazon product title may lead you to believe this switcher comes with an HDMI cable. It does not.
Also the user-provide picture of the box and contents, with an HDMI cable pictured, is for the DIGIKEY-labled version of the product, not the Monoprice version. (The DIGIKEY, for a few dollars more, includes a cable.)
Movie Review: Good Product with Poor Documentation
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this switch so that I could specifically connect my cable box, dvd and PS3 to my Sony television that only has one HDMI input. I was on the verge of returning it when I saw the review below that said that the PS3 will only work on Port 5. Had I not seen that I would have returned it.
The performance of the unit plus the cost definitely puts it on a 5-star level but the lack of meaningful instructions I dropped it to a 4-star
