I thought auto-switching only works with devices that fully power off?

Most modern devices (Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV (all generations), Roku, and Chromecast) are always on and use standby mode when not in use.

Auto-switching is great for things like BD players, game consoles, set top boxes, etc., where only 1 needs to be on at a time.

For me it matters because mine does auto switch and it would randomly switch to a hdmi that I'm not using

Do you have a Roku or similar device with CEC plugged into the switch? And do you have CEC enabled on the TV? If so, that's probably why. Turn off CEC and it should stop doing that.

I use this* for my work setup so I can easily unplug my laptop when I don't to be in my office. It works fine but only has 2 USB plugs and I need 3 (speakers, mouse, and keyboard). It doesn't play well with my USB splitter and sometimes I need to unplug the splitter and plug it back in. This happens maybe once a week.

*edit, by this I mean the 7in1 USB c hub.

I'm assuming you don't use all Logitech keyboard, mouse, speaker, etc.. For those that do. The Logitech Unifying Multi-Connect Utility is such a simple and easy way to connect all of your Logitech devices with using only 1 USB receiver. I think it can handle up to 6 different devices all connected to the one USB receiver. It was a great way to free up USB's on my PC.

Correct. I use a mechanical keyboard and separate mouse.

Thanks for the reply. Mine is more simple - essentially expand the HDMI ports on my tv. I do have multiple inputs (game consoles, fire tv stick, PC, eARC for soundbar) but want to ensure picture quality is good from all sources.

This is the one you want then. Not sure you'll find a better price for one with these specs. Any cheaper and it's going to be a complete crap shoot in quality

I received the HDMI switch today and am having a weird issue; my apple tv output appears to be incorrectly scaled or something when using some apps but not others. The screen is normal in youtube but not directv stream. (Imagine that you can only see a cropped screen of a 4k display) Was also surprised this didnt come with 2 batteries (AAA) for the remote and alas i have none right now. I am likely going to return this unless I can find a recommendation/resolution today.

(edited) well changing the USB cable seemed to do the trick.

Bought one and after a while it freezes, I change hdmi inputs but doesn't output anything on the TV, I have to unplug and replug the power for it to work again defeating the purpose

bluetooth 5.3？when can Bluetooth support 5.1 channels?

It isn't the number of channels - it is the version of the Bluetooth chip the device is based on. I'm pretty sure it only supports stereo...

I know. That's why I ask, hope it can do 5.1 in the future

Anybody got experience using the 5-port HDMI switch?

I have some of them. What do you wanna know? I have some 5 port selectors that support 8K 60hz, 4K 120hz(144hz).

Noobs for HDMI Selector, Switch, Splitter.
They are different.

HDMI Selector = HDMI Switch:
Input from devices(XBOX, shield tv, Nintendo, PS)>output to 1 monitor(TV).

HDMI Splitter: Input from devices(XBOX, shield tv, Nintendo, PS) > output to 1 or more Monitors(TV) at the same time and same screen. But some Splitters support not only Clone but also Extend PC Screen.

About Auto select.
Let me give you an example.
Condition: PC and Shield are connected to 1 HDMI selector. You don't want to use a remote or buttons.
1. If you turn them on at the same time a fastest booting device shows up on TV.
2. "I want PC instead of Shield TV. But Shield TV came up first. What am I supposed to do after booted?": Wait until Shield is completely booted(You can see Shield Menu and Icons) > Now, turn your PC on.
3. "Ok. I ended up using PC. I want to use shield TV at this time. Can I just turn on Shield TV?": No. Turn off your PC first > Turn on Shield TV.
4. "I'm using Shield TV now. My PC is turned on. I turned off Shield TV. But I can't see a PC screen. I can see only a black screen.": Turn off your TV. Wait for 10 to 20 sec. Turn your TV on.

HMDI Cable: If you use 4K 60hz selector you don't need HDMI 2.1 cable. But if you use 8K 60hz + 4K 120hz selector you must have HDMI 2.1 cable. Otherwise you can see nothing on your monitor.

Power Adapter: You may need a Power Adapter(included or separately) if you use certain devices. You don't need a power adapter for XBOX, PC, Nintendo, Shield TV, Fire TV(cube, stick).

Compatibility: Nobody knows until you test it. Some people may have Compatibility issue.

Understood?
