Sense Hometek HDMI Switch 4k, 5-in-1 HDMI Splitter with IR Remote, 4K 60hz, HDCP 2.2, UHD, HDR for Compatible Devices

Do you have as many devices as I do battling for HDMI supremity? And why do TV manufacturers still provide so few HDMI ports on their products? It's not a problem if you have a proper amp with 10 HDMI ports to fill to your heart's content (I have a Denon 2500 in the lounge doing just that), but you can't do that in every room where you keep a TV can you?My home office, the box room above the stairs, the cupboard that I've been living in since Lockdown began seemingly decades ago....is just such a room. In it is a 43" LG TV with 4x HDMI ports. One is an ARC return which has a Bose soundbar plugged in, leaving me three spare ports.For seven devices.I use the TV as a third monitor for my work's laptop during the day, and for my personal laptop in the evening. I have a PS5, an Xbox, a Raspberry Pi with Emulation Station, a Nintendo 64 (via a converter) and my Swann CCTV system.I've used splitters before, I still have two of them in fact. But they were glitchy and unreliable. They'd do unpredictable things, sometimes swapping to another device unexpectedly, something not swapping at all when I wanted them to. They'd been in the £20 region, so I thought I'd spend a little more and try to find something more reliable and stable. I also now had a PS5 to plug in, which would test the performance to the limit.The switch box feels like it means business. It feels premium, chunky, like you might expect from a high-end Germanic Hi-Fi manufacturer. I like that all of the ports are on the rear, incomming and outgoing, including the power supply. Other switches I've had have had cables going in all directions and I found it impossible to do any kind of cable management. This switcher though is thoughtfully laid out and you can tuck it away very nicely. On the front are led lights to show which device is currently active.The remote, as is absolutely always the case on things like this, is a bog-standard cheap affair which you'd wish the manufacturers would spend just an extra few notes on getting right. Provided you're pointing the remote straight at the switch box then it does what it's meant to do, but too far off centre of if there are any obstructions then you'll be jabbing away at the remote for some time.In operation, the switch box works brilliantly. I have my two laptops, a PS5, Xbox and Raspberry Pi all plugged in and it's worked flawlessly for the last two months. I haven't seen any picture degredation or refresh issues at all. The TV is on every week day from 8am until late into the night while I continue to work from home, and it's behaved itself exactly as I'd hoped.So, while it was a little more expensive than some alternatives, I'm more than happy to have spent the premium on a product that works.

As the title says!I'm very techy and I needed a new HDMI switch box for my new tv which has 4 HDMI ports but still not enough for my equipment so I did some research and found this one. I have 4 electronic devices needed to connect to the tv plus a sound bar. Included in these units is a recorder with a scart socket which the tv does not have so I did more research to find a scart to a HDMI converter unit. After ordering this from amazon I was able to connect my scart recorder to the converter with a HDMI cable to the switch box. Once all these units was connected up everything worked very well with two units connected up to the switch box. The remote works perfectly! Good solid buttons and they all work first push on them.The switch box works really well and I like the way all the cables are connected to the back of it, I wouldn't like a unit where you have to plug cables in to the sides aswell, why do they make them like that?The only criticism I have with the box is that they don't fit rubber feet to the underside of it, why? I always have a bag of spare rubber feet for these occasions which again I bought from amazon. I never place anything on to a flat surface without fitting rubber feet plus it helps with air circulation to keep things cool.But I still give it 5 stars.

It's a little bit slow.MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF THE PREVIOUS DEVICE BEFORE SWITCHING TO THE NEXT DEVICE. OTHER WISE IT DOESN'T WORK. (you have to turn off the next device and turn it back on to work).But apart from that build quality is good.Picture quality is good.Remote is very easy to use.

I am really glad that I paid a little bit extra for this device. Well constructed with metal case. Works like a dream from the provided remote with my three Windows 11 boxes and two Raspberry Pis.

I ordered this Sense 4K HDMI switch, Because I recently had just purchased the Panasonic 4K 58 inch television that has Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos with the Panasonic HTB 700 sound bar that also transmits this audio format. After browsing Amazon‘s website this Sense 4K had all of the requirements I wanted including being able to transmit Dolby Atmos. I am glad I done a little researching on the Internet, as I didn’t realise that HDMI had been upgraded since my last purchase of a television, and using a digital optical lead wouldn’t have met my requirements. as it doesn’t transmit audio formats such as Blu-ray, DTS true master and Dolby, where HDMI allows a higher resolution of audio for Blu-ray, DTS True master and Dolby. The SenseHDMI switch arrived well packaged, and in the box you receive One of each of the HDMI switch, 2.0 HDMI lead, Remote control, 5 V power adapter and user manual. The HDMI switch casement is made of metal, there is six HDMI slots, Which are all on the rear of this switch. The 5 V power lead also plugs into the rear of this switch. The HDMI output is immediately to the right of the power slot, and to the right of this you have the remaining five HDMI inputs starting from number five going down to number one at the furthest point. On the front of the HDMI switch you have a power button , I R sensor and a auto detect button with LED indicators to inform you you have power and HDMI indication of which input you are currently choosing. The Sense HDMI switch has to be placed somewhereOn display that the IR will pick up the remote. I have placed mine on top of my virgin V6 box at the back of the TV shelf stand, As all of the wires are at the rear of this switch making it as tidy as possible. The remote works very well and the buttons feel nice.The Sense 4K switch works very well and the Amazon basics latest standard of 4K HDMI leads that were recommended with this purchase have made A great difference as well. The picture and sound quality improves when streaming from Amazon fire TV, the Xbox or Nvidia shield. Overall I am well satisfied with this product and I would happily recommend it with the Amazon basics latest Standard Pack of three high speed 4K Leeds as well.
