Title: HDMI Switches...any experience?
Post by: nickgregory on November 05, 2007, 10:23:30 AM

so my TV (sony 50" SXRD) has two HDMI inputs, of which I am feeding them with my DTV box in one, and my Oppo player into the other.  I am looking at getting a XBOX 360 Elite platform and since that feeds via HDMI I am a port short...anyone have any experience with HDMI switches?

I have no experience with hdmi switches but i think oppo just came out with one that has pretty decent specs.

I have no personal experience, but I hear nothing but good things about the Monoprice.com switches.  Here's their line:

Sorry Nick, I didn't order a sitch from them.  Was just telling you that I have had good luck dealing with them.
