Works, but not quite as well as I'd hoped
First off, the info I think is most relevant, how the switching works. It's very simple: this switch doesn't get its power from the TV, it's powered by the devices it's switching between. It uses this power to decide which input to auto-switch to. It follows 2 simple rules:1) If something starts sending power to me, switch to it.2) If something stops sending power to me, switch back to the last thing that sent me power.This works really great, because it means that devices that are only on some of the time (your xbox, or a computer that you plug in sometimes), automatically start displaying the moment you turn them on or plug them in, then automatically stop displaying (and go back to whatever was showing before) the moment you turn them off or unplug them.However...This system is based on power, not on signal. When your computer turns its screen off, it may be like mine and still be sending power over HDMI, even though there's no signal. In that case, this switcher will NOT switch away from it, and the TV will eventually turn off due to lack of signal, even though there's signal on another port of the switch.That said, the button on this switch is way smarter than most TV's: it'll only switch between inputs that are sending power. This is really handy if you regularly (like I do) have 2 things plugged into it that are always sending power, you never have to worry about skipping past the unused input. This means you can actually mount the thing behind the TV, where you can't see the lights, and hit the button by feel, and know that you only ever need to hit it once.The cable coming out of this is SHORT. Like, can barely reach from one side of my TV to the other short. This is ok for my usage, but be aware that you will need an extender if this is going to be somewhere closer to the viewer.The LED is blue instead of green, and a little too bright, enough to actually leave a flashlight spot on the wall a foot away from it. If you really want your theatre setup to be pitch dark, you'll want to either point it somewhere you can't see, or electrical tape over it.The ports are spaced wide enough that almost any HDMI cable will fit into them, and a 1st generation chromecast can fit (barely) into one of the side ones without blocking the middle one.It's silent, doesn't get hot, doesn't distort the signal at all, and the actual switching is near instant from what I can tell.

Fosmon HD1831 3-Port HDMI Switch with Pigtail
This switch makes it possible to plug three HDMI devices into one HDMI port and switch between them. If only one device is active, the switch automatically detects it and displays it. If there is more than one active device, the last one connected is displayed but switching between the attached devices can be accomplished by pressing the “Select” button on the top of the unit.The switch consists of a 50 cm (19.7 inches) cable attached to a triangular plug that is wider (3.25 inches) at the end which accommodates three full-sized HDMI male cables. On the top of the plug is a small selector button along with three blue LED lights numbered 1, 2, and 3. The LED of the currently active device is lit.I used the switch to connect two computers and a wireless screen casting device. The displays from all three look exactly the same so there is no loss of visual quality whether plugged in through the switch or connected directly to the monitor.In this application the switch is powered from the connected devices, so no adapter or batteries are necessary. Since I leave all three devices on, the only way for me to switch is by using the button. But, if I turn-off a device it automatically moves to one of the other connected units that is active.This switch solved a problem. My monitor has only one HDMI port which is always in use by an essential device. So, to use the monitor with other devices I no longer need to disconnect between them and then reverse the process when done. Now, it is all accomplished with just the press if a button. The unit works flawlessly, is unobtrusive, and saves time.

Not bad, but has some issues
I have way too many HDMI products that need to connect to my TV, and not enough ports to fill them. I read about HDMI switchers, and saw that this was within my spending range, so I thought why not?I like that there are no additional power sources needed - it's self powered. Also, for the most part it works reasonably well. It does switch on its own, and if the source is wrong you can press a button to change sources.I didn't like the fact that my PS4 doesn't work with this. It's a shame because I wanted to just attach consoles to this switcher. The PS4 now has to be on a dedicated HDMI port. What is a minor annoyance is that when other devices are connected or plugged in (in my case, a switch or chromecast), the input will switch. It's supposed to do that, but it's annoying when you're watching TV, your SO/roommate/friends try to charge the switch, then it changes sources for a few seconds. Annoying, but I can live with it. All in all, not a bad switcher.

Works very well.
So simple to install and doesn't need a power socket. I put my receiver box and dvd hdmi cables in it.

Striplatore
Che dire. Praticissimo! L'ho usato per collegare le mie console e funziona alla grande. Riconosce immediatamente l'input che arriva e si setta in automatico. Nel caso in cui gli input siano continui si puo scegliere con l'apposito pulsante quale input si vuole.Una nota negativa: è piuttosto voluminoso e il led ha una forte luce blu. Ma nascosto dietro la TV non è un problema
