I've only been using this HDMI switch for a day or two but based on the price I'm very pleased. I have a somewhat unusual setup. I'll bore anyone who might need to know specifics with the details below. For those who don't care let me just say if this will work with my setup, it will probably work with yours. This switch works fine for me with Windows 10 and using an HDMI to DVI cable with a cable coupler on the HDMI output. If all you're looking to do is add a couple more HDMI ports to your TV or Monitor this will probably work awesome for you without breaking the bank.Pros+ Affordable+ Simple to set up and use+ Compact+ Works with an HDMI to DVI adapter cable+ Works with a dual monitor setup in Windows 10+ Pretty nice quality for the price+ No fancy bells or whistles that can cause problems+ This works with my setup. No black screen etc.+ Seems to work fine with HDCP so Netflix etc. works fine for me.Cons- If the integrated output cable goes bad you're pretty much done. (Not likely with reasonable care and handling though)- I'd prefer a design where all the ports (input and output) are on the back side- As with any budget HDMI switch you'll need to find a way to pass audio if you're converting to a DVI signal.DETAILS ON MY SETUP:HDMI SWITCH INPUT 1: HDMI output from Windows 10 PC. with Geforce graphics card. (The graphics card DVI output goes to a 2nd monitor)HDMI SWITCH INPUT 2: Xbox OneHDMI SWITCH INPUT 3: PS4 SlimHDMI SWITCH OUTPUT: Goes to DVI input of monitor via an HDMI to DVI adapter cable. Male output plugs to male HDMI end of a Bluerigger HDMI to DVI adapter cable. (Connection made via a HDMI cable extender coupler)AUDIO: HDMI carries audio. If all your devices use HDMI you shouldn't need to know any of this. Since I'm using ancient monitors they don't have HDMI inputs. They're DVI. DVI signals are video only. That means you need to find a way to handle audio if you've converted HDMI to DVI like I have. Details are provided below.I know I'm not the only one out there looking to use this device with older equipment. Figuring out what will work with your setup can be tough. I'm including details on my setup in the hopes that it will help someone else in the future.I've got a dual monitor PC running Windows 10. I also have an original Xbox One and a PS4 slim hooked up to one of the PC monitors. Sounds fancy right? Wrong. This is an aging frankenstein PC workstation. Nothing fancy here. We're talking a hodgepodge of budget legacy equipment. With crazy cheap upgrades she just keeps going for daily work tasks so I keep using it.The graphics card on this PC has one HDMI output, 1 DVI output and 1 VGA output. I don't use the VGA output but do use the HDMI and DVI outputs to give me my dual screen setup in Windows. The monitors themselves are going on 13 years old so they only have VGA and DVI inputs. That means I need to convert the HDMI signal from the graphics card to DVI for the monitor. That in itself can cause issues with some HDMI switches.No problems with this one. I plug the graphics card output from the PC to input port one on this HDMI switch. The Xbox One and PS4 HDMI outputs are plugged into ports 2 and 3.The integrated HDMI cable on this switch is obviously the output. I had an existing HDMI to DVI cable I was using with the previous older HDMI switch. I'm using the "BlueRigger DVI to HDMI Cable" sold here on Amazon. It has a male HDMI end and a Male DVI end. These are high quality cables that have been working well for years so I didn't want to replace it. I was left with the dilemma of having a male HDMI cable end for the output on this switch and a Male HDMI cable end on my HDMI to DVI cable going to my monitor. I solved this by purchasing a cheap HDMI cable coupler or extender. It's just a coupler with two female HDMI ports, one on each end. They're normally used to connect together two HDMI cables to make one long cable run. For me it worked perfectly to connect the male end of this HDMI switch output with the male end of my HDMI to DVI cable. I believe there are versions of this switch that don't have the integrated output cable. They simply have a female HDMI port for the output. In hindsight purchasing this version would have been smarter for my situation but the HDMI couplers only cost a few bucks.The short version of my long story is everything with this switch works as expected. When I select input one on this HDMI switch I get my normal dual monitor setup with the desktop extended over both displays. When it's time to fire up the Xbox or PS4 I just switch inputs on the HDMI switch. The PC then automatically switches to a single monitor desktop and I can keep work, a web browser etc. open on the other monitor.I'm happy because the much more expensive HDMI switch I had previously just unexpectedly quit working after a Windows 10 update. No amount of reinstalling, updating display drivers etc. worked to get it going again. I'm not 100% sure the Windows update killed it but I tried everything under the sun short of a fresh install. To further complicate things another fancier HDMI switch I had on hand (one of the 4K, Picture in Picture switches with remote) wouldn't work either.If you've made it this far you're probably wondering how I have audio. Good catch. If you're using all HDMI devices and HDMI connections no worries. Odds are your HDMI cables carry your audio signals for you. I converted HDMI to DVI. DVI signals are video only. That means another hurdle for a cheapskate like me. =) I use the digital optical audio output from the XBOX connected to a digital to analog audio converter box. I use it because I already had one given to me free. I then plug the headset or a set of speakers into the converter. Yes that's another small box that needs a 5V power supply. (I power it from the Xbox USB port) Yes, it is another two cables and yes it's a minor pain in the butt. The good news is it works fine.For the PS4 slim there is no audio output except via HDMI. The cheapest/easiest solution is to plug a headset or speakers into the controller if you don't want to deal with extracting audio from the HDMI signal.While this setup works fine I don't like the added cables and work involved with getting audio. I've ordered and will be trying an HDMI matrix with built in audio extractor. For just under $50 I'm hoping it will eliminate my need for any additional audio convertors. As a bonus I'll get an extra HDMI input and output. Even if the new setup works I'll be hanging on to this switch for use as a backup.

It is 2026 and my 2 Gana from 2022 are working great . I tried other solutions before: port died and killed the whole switchbox or the setup didn't work well, so I returned. Compared to those expensive, complicated/counter-intuitive, or incomplete previous solutions, these are cheap, simple, intuitive, and "just work." The Gana is flat and pretty small, so they both rest flat under one monitor so I can easily toggle. I use 2 Gana to cross connect 2 HDMI monitors with 2 laptops. There is only the button you use to toggle between the 3 monitors (I am only using 2). I know this sounds like a commercial - I am not paid, have never contacted Gana, etc. I was just looking for something in my old orders, saw this was listed as frequently returned, so felt it deserved a review and a wider audience. It is all solid state, not much to go bad and less intrusive than a switch box. But, like anything, it is use case specific, so maybe the returns were simply that what works for me did not fit their use cases. Good luck.

This HDMI switch does what it’s supposed to do and handled multiple inputs without any issues at first. Switching between devices is easy, and video quality has been solid. The short pigtail cable is convenient and keeps things tidy behind the TV.The main downside is durability. One port eventually went out after repeated use (the one I was plugging and unplugging daily). The other ports have been fine, but it’s something to be aware of. Overall still a useful switch, but not perfect, which is why I’d call it a 4‑star product.

This was exactly what I needed. The cable was very easy to install and worked right away.

works great

I was teaching a Sunday School class and needed two (2) screens. This product was exactly what I needed to expand the visual experience. It was cost effective, quality constriction and world as advertised. In my case, I was unsure so I had ordered another product to be certain. As it turns out that product did not work. The GANA 4K was exactly what I needed. Easy to install.

I've been using this for several months, and have had no issues with it. It fits my needs well. It will automatically switch to whatever source I turn on. I liked the fact that it has a wire attached to it, so it literally just plug and use, no need to buy extra wires, other than the ones between your console, DVD player, or to whatever you are using.EDIT: I changed my review because after 3 months its failed. I have been using it almost every day for 3 months since its connected to my capture card which I was using 2-3 days a week out of that time, the rest of the time I used the computer for other tasks, so the switch would have been active. Now I get no image from any source. I moved it to my tv, and tried with something else. Nothing. Seems like it failed. I bought it in April and just did a review on it yesterday giving it 5 stars. Murphy's law I guess. I tried a different switch and that one works fine. Switch is now showing green light, but no image.EDIT 2: I was able to get it to work with PS4, but not with my laptop or desktop, which is set to 1080p/60hz on the TV, well within spec of the switch. It had been working back in April, now its not. No idea why.

Review of HDMI Switch, GANA 4K HDMI Splitter 3 in 1 Out, 3-Port Switcher Selector with Pigtail HDMI Cable,Supports Full HD 4K 30Hz 1080P 3D Player, Compatible with PS4/3, Xbox, Fire Stick, Roku, PC,TVMy smart TV did not have enough HDMI ports to accommodate a Fire Stick that I wanted to add. This switch was reasonably priced and had lots of good reviews on Amazon. It was easy to install and set up was nil. It’s mostly plug and play. It does NOT have a remote, so if you want to change devices you must go to the switch and manually press the button. This does not switch over automatically as some others do either. The cable supplied is long enough for my usage, but others might not find it to be. The ad says it doesn’t require a power supply, but one is provided, and it is suggested that you use it for the switch to work properly. I deducted one star due to the confusing instructions should you have problems with the switch not properly operating one of the devices you have plugged in. You are told to switch 2 devices on at the same time! There is no way to switch 2 devices on at the same time with this HDMI switch! If there is, I certainly did not find out how to do it. That would defeat the purpose of a switch. The device feels cheaply made. It is serving its purpose thus far without issues, and I chose to go ahead and plug in the power cord.

Works well and easily. OK it is manual operation, need to get up and click the button/toggle to 1, 2 or 3. A LED shows which one is active. The cable to the TV unit is a little short for a wall mounted unit, but not a big issue. Excellent value.

If you have only 2 HDMI connection, you may have to press additional click to route over the blank connection. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Great little switcher, perfect for TV, Xbox etc. Just plugs in with your hdmi cables and works. Also great value for money and not worth paying the big bucks at a store.

item working as advertised.

I purchased a new monitor with only 1 HDMI port. With this item I was able to plug both a PC and PS4 into the same monitor. Switching between devices is easy and there is no difference in picture quality. Great item.
