ABLEWE Aluminum HDMI Switch 4K@60Hz, 1x2 or 2x1, Supports 4K 3D 1080P, Compatible with Laptop, Gaming Console, Blu-ray Player, Television, Projector, Monitor

I am a videographer by profession, and I use two monitors to make editing easier. I use a secondary pc for email, browsing, admin etc, connected to a third monitor. Having a third monitor when editing can be very useful, though, but until today, whenever I have needed to use three, I have had to unplug the 'admin' screen and connect it to one of the editing system's GPUs. It's a pain, and it probably doesn't do the connectors much good either. Additionally, I use NVidia's Surround mode and the settings get messed up when unplugging and reconnecting all the time. I should have thought about doing this ages ago, but a few days ago I decided to look into an HDMI switch. I specifically wanted a switch (i.e. to switch between two sources into one monitor), not a splitter (ie sending one source to multiple monitors) and it seems there are a few reviewers who thought they were getting the latter. That's probably partly the fault of the seller, though as it does say 'splitter' in the item title. A quick read of the listing would have cleared that up, though, so I don't really understand why some people are complaining so bitterly! I thought this one looked like a reasonable trade between quality and price, and when I weeded out the misinformed reviews it seemed that most people were quite happy with this unit. Ordered it Monday, arrived Tuesday. Anyway, for me, this is perfect and does exactly what I wanted it to do. Installation was beyond simple (don't forget you'll need a third HDMI cable to connect the switch to the monitor). A single button press switches between sources with about a two second delay while the screen is blacked out. Build quality seems reasonable - it's made of plastic, but it doesn't look like it will fall apart after a few days. If it does I will let you know! I have used heavy duty velcro to attach mine to the clamp on one of the monitor risers, but as you'll see from the picture, I still need to tidy up the cables. All in all this is a very handy bit of kit and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wants an inexpensive switcher. If you're looking for a signal splitter, you're in the wrong place!

The switcher is nice and compact and does not require any external power, it was to be used in the below setup. In short I'm very happy with this item, and I'm actually going to buy a second one today for another purpose. I only had one potential issue when it came to outputting to both a 4K display and a 1080p display, but this may not be an issue with the Switch itself. The long version for more information if anyone is interested is below: Input: PS4 Pro Output 1: PC Monitor (capable of 4K) Output 2: TV via 20m HDMI cable (1080p) The switcher worked in outputting in 1080p to both displays with no issues whatsoever. When it came to 4K I had two issues. First issue was that It would not output to 4k initially, the picture would appear only for one second every 5 seconds. However I think this was down to the HDMI cables I was using. After going through my collection of HDMI cables I managed to get it to first output to 2160P - YUV420, and then with a couple more cable swaps, to 2160p- RGB. (which meant I could set my PS4 Pro Display output to 'automatic' with no issues... Or so I thought). The second issue I had was that once set to automatic, the PS4 Pro could not detect a change between a 4k display and then a 1080p display through the switcher. So if the PS4 pro display output was set to automatic, and I wanted to switch from the 4k display to the 1080p tv, there would be no picture displayed on the 1080p tv (as the PS4 Pro was still trying to output to 4k). But this issue also comes with a couple of caveats; first of all, when I first connected the HDMI Switch to all inputs and outputs, the PS4 Pro was outputting to 4k (despite the issue I was having in getting the 4k display initially), and when I switched it to the 1080 display, the PS4 DID automatically change the resolution and display fine on the 1080p TV. It was only after changing the HDMI cables and getting a stable 2160p- RGB output on my 4k Monitor that PS4 stopped automatically detecting the second display (I triple checked that the PS4 Pro Display output was set to 'automatic', and restarted the console several times). So this could be an issue with the HDMI cables being used still, or, it is known that PS4's can be a bit finicky when it comes to Switchers and display outputs. It's possible that this is not the fault of the Switch at all, and rather it is something to do with the HDMI cables being used and/or the PS4 itself. Overall I'm very happy with the product.

仕事用のMac miniとプライベート用のWindowsを一つのモニタに出力するのに使用しています。 異なるOSですが、問題なく切り替えができています。電源不要で、小さくて場所をとらないのも良い感じ。 耐久性については、しばらく使ってみてどうなるか、ですね。

Gör det den ska, inga invändningar.

Bij een hmdi kabel van 5 meter werkt het niet eens. Scherm loopt te trillen als een gek.
