Home > Consumer Reviews > Mediabridge - 3 Port Smart HDMI Switch

I purchased this switcher because of the set up I have at my house. I have my 52 inch Sony wall mounted with my Verizon Fios and Blue Ray about 35 feet away from the TV. I wanted to get a switcher to eliminate pulling a new HDMI cable and fishing the walls again. This product is very easy to install and is very user friendly.


I strongly recommend this product to anyone that wants a quick and easy solution that produces great results!!

Checking out and Shipping were great also!!

I have HDMI cables going from my Verizon FIOS cable box and PS3 to this Mediabridge switch and 1 HDMI cable going from the switch to my HDTV and it works great. I get full 1080p and perfect surround sound. The best thing is, when I turn on the PS3, the signal auto-switches right to it and THEN when I turn off the PS3, the TV switches back to the cable box automatically. There is a slight delay in between switching but only a couple seconds. It comes with a remote but I haven't had to use it with my setup. Had some problems with Amazon's shipping, but that's not the seller's fault. I highly recommend this switch if you are lacking HDMI inputs for all of your devices. But make sure you have enough HDMI cables. You need a cable from each component and then one from the switch to the TV. And the cables need to be Category 2 certified to get your 1080p, which I found some are and some aren't. Do your homework!

I recently purchased the Mediabridge 3-port HDMI switch because my TV didn't have 2 HDMI ports in the back and it was annoying switching between cables to watch a Blue ray or HDTV. After the switch, I noticed an improved change in the timing between sound and picture compared to using the standard composite cables. I would recommend this to anyone with multiple HDMI cables!

Hello I'm a PC Enthusiast/Gamer for most of my life and the reason I purchased this switch is because I own a 32" Samsung LCD TV that has 3 HDMI inputs but for some reason beyond me Samsung decided to make it so that you can only use this television's native resolution which is 1360x768 on HDMI input 1. On the other two HDMI inputs you can only use the conventional resolutions such as 480i/p or 1280x720. So I already had my PC using up HDMI slot 1 but I wanted to run my Xbox 360 at the tv's native resolution instead of 720p because I'm so picky about the image quality being perfect.

So I just received the switch from shipping a few hours ago and so far I'm absolutely loving it. I just plugged my PC and Xbox 360 into slots 1 and 2 on the HDMI switch and then ran my third cable to the tv from the output slot and it was ready to go. I can be on my PC and if I decide I want to play some Xbox I just turn on the console and the switch automatically jumps right over to my 360. Then when I power off the 360 the display goes right back to my PC, I love that I don't even have to bother getting up to press any buttons and if I do decide that I want to switch back over to my PC while I still have my 360 powered on I can just grab the handy little remote that comes with it and switch back and forth to my hearts content, lol. Oh and I haven't even mentioned how impressed I am with the picture quality, everything is pixel perfect as if you're doing a straight HDMI connection to the television, no signal loss or problems whatsoever and audio through the switch is perfect.

I also want to mention that before I purchased this switch I bought the same thing except Philips brand at Walmart for $35 that did not have a remote or auto switching and it was junk. It only had the button switches on the front and when I switched through sources it would sometimes leave artifacts on my screen and if I had my PC and Xbox 360 plugged in at the same time my PC would only display if I had my 360 turned on which made no sense at all so I returned it to Walmart and ordered this switch and I couldn't be happier, $10 cheaper and works 10x better.

I highly recommend this switch to anyone that just needs more HDMI inputs or on the rare occasion has a tv like mine and is picky with their resolutions and needs it for that reason. I wanted something like this ever since I bought my TV a couple years ago but every time I shopped around for one they were always priced so high at $100 and over, I think I actually saw some for around $200 which I think is ridiculous. I can't believe how amazing this one performs considering it's only around $20. I'm seriously thinking about ordering another to put up for later.

My single HDMI port TV is connected to cableTV and PS3 thru Mediabridge Switch. I opened the box, connected them, and to my dismay, it WORKED! Since then, I forgot I have them until Amazon sent email to review this product. Make sure you order right number of HDMI cables.
