Anyone have any experience using an HDMI switch?

I use the Kinivo too, no issues.

There's also a 3-port version, I believe: Kinivo 501BN Premium 5 port High speed HDMI switch with IR wireless remote and AC Power adapter - supports 3D, 1080p https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049SCB2Y...=operasport-20 Sent from my htcONE (M8) | Tapatalk

I have this one too and never noticed a difference in lag. My hitting stinks with or without this! Seriously tho never had a problem with it.

Funny, I ordered this exact one off Amazon yesterday before I even saw any of the recent posts in this thread (though I got the 3-port one, since I didn't need 5 ports). Incidentally, I also pre-ordered MLB '16, since that 11 dollar savings was too good to pass up.

Good to hear I won't have any problems with the switch! Thanks for the feedback.

I got a Rocket Fist 4 port HDMI switch and it works perfect. No lag, and its just like you were plugged into the TV. Even supports 3-D and has a remote if you are lazy like me!

I recently got a new tv and it has not enough HDMI ports so I am considering getting an hdmi switch (like a power strip but for hdmi). No brainer, but I have one concern: display lag. Baseball being what it is, I'm worried the switch will increase lag time on my tv and mess with my hitting timing. That's why I'm asking this here: has anyone had experience using an hdmi switch? I want to hear exclusively from The Show players because this is the only game I play. If the switch adds noticeable lag while batting, I don't want it. So has anyone here used one? What were your experiences? Any insight or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I bought one on Amazon for $39 as I have the same issue. Now I have my Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 all on the switcher and I see absolutely no lag whatsoever. Might be one of the best things I ever bought as a very active gamer.

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread, but I was about to start a new thread about this topic when I saw this thread.

I'm thinking about buying a HDMI Switch to try to possibly move more systems into one gaming area. I would be hooking up the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 3, and SNES Classic at this point.

I've heard people say that sometimes systems will turn off automatically when using a HDMI switch. Has anyone experienced that here?

This is the one I'm looking at as I don't want to spend a lot of money as this is only for convenience and not out of necessity.


EDIT: Sorry I had no idea that this was in the Show forum. I just saw the thread title and jumped in. Please move to a more appropriate forum mods if need be.

I use this one (tad more expensive at 50.00) and have had zero issues. Right now I only have my PS4 and 4K Player hooked to it.
