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!

I needed a way to connect my PS4 to my projector via my Sony Sounder. The only problem being, I had used all three of my HDMI ports. So, I decided to get this so that I could connect the PS4 & Blu Ray player to the same HDMI input on the sounder.I simply took the two existing HDMI cables into this, then added a new cable to connect the adapter to my soundbar. Set-up was that simple.You just push the button to switch between the two devices. I’ve not noticed and reduction in sound or picture quality.I rarely use the switch, as I predominantly play the PS4 but it’s very handy to have the option to switch to the Blu Ray player when needed.It’s a compact device and quite smart looking. Although I’m not that bothered with how it’s looks, as it’s tucked away out of site. I think this is ideal for occasionally switching but, if I were to be switching regularly between two devices, I most probably gone with one with a remote.This would work very well if you had limited inputs on a monitor and wanted to connect another device, such as a laptop, tablet, etc.It was £8.99 when I purchased it and I think that’s pretty good value for money.hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative and useful. Thanks for reading.

Right, this is a review for multiple items that make up my current monitor arrangement :-1. "Arzopa" A1 Monitors : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CJCCDV652. "Duttek" U Shape HDMI Adapter : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BXK8ZCVD3. "Seminer" USB-C 180 Degree Adapter : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09KG463G74. "Abewe" HDMI Switch : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SR1S2JL5. "Lisen" Monitor/Tablet Stand : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BTDHQJ6First up are the "Arzopa" A1 monitors. These replaced a larger single curved monitor that I didn't really get on with. I have multiple computers, and these two allow me to have my Windows box one one screen, and my Mac Mini on the other, using a 2-1 USB switcher for the keyboard and mouse.Very pleased with these, they are light, clean, sturdier and better built than I thought they would be. The display is crisp and clear, and although I won't be using them much, the speakers are surprisingly adequate :-) It's a shame that the connectors and buttons are on the side, since that would allow me to butt the two monitors next to each other.Which brings me to the next two items, the "Duttek" and "Seminer" U shaped 180 degree adaptors, for the HDMI and USB-C ports. The HDMI adapter also converts the monitor's mini HDMI connection to a full size one. Didn't pay attention when I ordered it, but wasn't a problem - I have more HDMI cables than mini HDMI. I've used the USB-C adapter previously for phone charging in the car. These two allow the cables to be placed more neatly behind the monitor, where they can then be hidden more easily. I know I need to clean up the cabling, but I've only just got them :-)The "Abewe" HDMI Switches allow me to have multiple configurations, depending on what hat I'm wearing. The first monitor swaps between my Windows box, and my work laptop dock. The second monitor swaps between the Window box and the Mac Mini. This means at any time I can have :-Windows on a dual screen,Windows on #1, Mac on #2,Work laptop on #1 and Windows or Mac on #2.My only gripe with these is that the button is either up or down, and they both differ. On one of them if the button is up, number 1 is selected, on the other, number 2 is selected with the button up. I guess it depends on who is putting them together at the factory. Doesn't make any difference to its use or quality of picture, just pokes at my OCD.The last item is the "Lisen" Tablet stands. Clean, well made and happily take the weight of the monitors. Also bought a third so that my iPad doesn't feel left out. Adjustable in many angles, they feel well made and quite sturdy. I may make some type of strap/magnet arrangement, since due to their relative size the monitors are a bit top heavy, and if I position the stands any more upright, they'd tip forward.They fold flat enough to throw in a bag with the iPad Mini 6 and my ancient Logitech slim keyboard, for a decent portable arrangement.All these items work together well, and give me the flexibility I need/want.
