Doesnt work for me
|
While the HDX-501 works well with some of my sources, it does not work cleanly with all of them. I wanted to switch between a Toshiba TDP-MT8 DLP projector with 720P native resolution and a Vista PC, a pair of DVD players, and a Samsung SIR-T451 HD over-the-air TV tuner.
I am using 3 foot HDMI cables from Monoprice with the switch.
The switch works fine with the computer as the source.
With my Samsung tuner, the video quality is excellent but there is intermittent flicker on the display that is not present when the projector is connected directly to the turner.
When the source is an OPPO DV-903H DVD player, the projector cannot maintain synch and the picture is completely lost, reacquired, lost, etc. The OPPO player works perfectly when connected directly to the projector.
So, as with Monoprice items generally, the price is great but the HDX-501 switch is essentially useless for my intended use.

Hdmi Switch
|
Works fine with my hd dvr cable box, works little to not as all with my Xbox 360. With this switch you will only get a picture every once in a while, also the picture will go black when ever it feels like it. The picture may come back on at any given time or it will stay black. Which ever it feels like it, Def not worth the Money!!!!

BRILLIANT!
|
Ordered this a little more than a year ago, and its performed exactly as desired ever since. It even had a preset for the remote in Logitech Harmony software!! My only caveat is that Im starting to run out of HDMI ports (and if/when I upgrade my XBox 360, I will) so Ill have to upgrade to the 8x1 model.
Mine is wedged on its side between my center and Tivo, and performs flawlessly. Only wish would be to be able to shut off the front lights, but the rest of my components look like a Christmas festival anyway..

As a newbie in HDMI, it work for but not as i think
|
I got this thing last month. Everything work good since then. The only complaint i have is when i change the resolution of my PC sometimes the screen remain blank but i dont know for sure whos to blame. Im new to HDMI stuff and i didnt know that there are a 3-5s delay between source switching. Its annoying a little bit.
Xbox360, PS3, Sony DVD changer DVP-CX995V and my PC via a DVI-HDMI cable. The output is plug to a Denon AVR-2308CI receiver. I use a Benq W500 projector to complete my set.

Great Price! Great Device!
|
Looked all over and read a hundred reviews and ended up taking a shot on this switch. I made the stupid assumption that the lower price meant lower quality or performance, but the reviews swayed me in the end.
I am glad they did. This is a quality device and the price is excellent to comparable switches I was looking at.
It works great. I have absolutely no problems with picture quality on a HD Cable box, PS3, Xbox 360, or my PC which are all connected through the switch. Best purchase I have made in awhile. Love Monoprice. They are my new favorite place to buy cables etc. Great cables for a fraction of what the box stores sell for.
I cant be happier with this switch and pity the folks who are paying upwards of $100 or more for similar devices.

Works like a Champ
|
Works like a champ! Exchanged the 4x1 switch (product id 4088) for this switch after I couldnt get the 4x1 switch to pass 1080p at all (or reliably pass 1080i for that matter). The exchange process was easy and the 5x1 switch handles everything! I highly recommend this switch!

A Great Switch
|
I purchased this switch after trying a different 4 port model that didnt play well with my setup. Im glad to report that this works beautifully. Currently, its running a TiVo HD on one port and a Panasonic upconverting DVD player (cant remember the model). The 4-port would totally mess up the DVD player, whereas this one doesnt seem to have any issues at all. Behind the switch is a 50-foot HDMI cable that runs though to wall to my TV (Panasonic 47-inch plasma).

Just received it yesterday. Only took two days from CA to MI!
Hooked it up to my U-Verse box and my DVD player to my projector.
No quality issues. In fact, I believe its slightly better.
Lowest price on the web. Would buy it again.

Great Product
|
I bought this switch in an attempt to connect both my Comcast HD Cable Box and my PS3 to my Sony Bravia HDTV. Having tried a Terk HDMI Switch, which did not work I was a bit skeptical that the Monoprice Switch would do the job. However, I was wrong the switch did everything I wanted and gave me the opportunity to hook up an additional 4 HDMI devices. This is a great product at a great price!

Excellent HDMI Switcher!
|
We hooked this baby up today and it works like a charm. So far we have four devices plugged into it a DirecTV DVR, TIVO DVR, Samsung HD DVD player, and Playstation 3 with Blueray all plugged into it and everything works! It is so easy to switch between each device. When we first hooked everthing up and plugged the switch into our Denon Home Theater Receiver, there was video but no audio. Then we re-programmed our Denon Receiver and, Presto!, we got audio too. Now we are going to re-program our Logitech Harmony Universal Remote to work with our new system to make it even better and easier. This switcher is just what we needed! Thank you Monoprice!

Flawless
|
Ive had this switch for almost a year. Its worked flawlessly all the time an its on 24x7. Ive never experience any issues even thou some users say the ps3 would only work on port 5. So I hooled up my ps3 on port 5 since day 1 and never had a problem. Im using it hooked up to an Onkyo TX-SR605 which is at the same time hooked up to my tv and the performance is superb. No image degradation at all. If youre using a harmony remote like myself (Im using a 880) Youll practically forget its there since the remote does all the leg work when it comes down to switching inputs depending on your desired activity.

Its best if a power switch intergrated in unit and addressable by remote control,
|
My 1st unit died in a couple week due to being on 24/24. Got the replacement fairly fast from monoprice (good service, A). Never got feedback from monoprice for what went wrong with the bad unit. I think with power switch intergrated and addressable by remote control, this unit will be one of the low price best.

Excellent swith

The first hdmi switch (4X1 switch with built in equalizer, rev 2.5) I bought from monoprice was incompatible with my Mitsubishi HD1000U video projector/electronic components and 25ft hdmi cable. I returned the switch and replaced it with the 5X1 enhanced HDMI switch with builtin equalizer (REV.2.1). This switch works perfectly with my projector and all connected devices over a 25ft hdmi cable. The picture quality is excellent with no signs of degredation. I highly recommend this cable and the customer service at monprice.com is top-notch!

Was going to give a 6 but realized the Xbox 360 has a Black level setting in Console Settings Display.
The new IronMan game acts like the old 3DFX cards with dirty shadows, thought it was the switch, but it wasnt.
Used this to hook up a PS3, Xbox360, Direct-TV HR21 HD DVR, and a Sony DTS Digital Sound Studio Digital EX home theater... awesome product, equally awesome site )
FYI... some reviewers mention auto switching, dont think they have the same model since this does NOT auto switch only shows active inputs by a green light and you have to manually change the input to the active input by using the remote or the front panel... just FYI

from the very first power-on there were no issues and switching between any source gave a perfect picture within 1sec.
only issue i am having is teaching the discrete input commands to my universal remote but im sure i will get that ironed out.
i like geffen stuff but i just cant see paying for it any longer.
well done monoprice.

This product work s perfectly and is pretty. I was suprise to see how small it was and then to see the quality, which was design into this switcher. Why pay over $100 for a 3 HDMI switch from a Brand Store when you can less than $60 for a 5 HDMI Switcher. Worth every Dollar.

Works as designed, experiencing no sync or picture quality issues whatsoever.
Plus, this switcher model is the default Monoprice device displayed when configuring it for use with the Logitech Harmony. It could literally not be any easier unless Logitech bought Monoprice out.
There is no reason for any competing product to exist for a single penny more. They might as all just quit the business.

Brief
Video and audio quality were excellent through all tested devices. Quality through the box was indistinguishable from a direct connection without the box. No video sparkles or audio clipping were noted. All devices were able to negotiate without problems.
For about $50 this box is an amazingly inexpensive way to add more HDMI ports to your audio/video system.
For all details reference...

1) Dish Network DVR (VIP 622)
2) Samsung 50 Plasma TV
3) Playstation 3
Not sure why their are so many complaints about the LED lights being too bright. They are no brighter than any other piece of equipment.

I had originally purchased the 4x1 HDMI switch and it didn''t work with my PS3. I put in a call to customer service and they swithed it out for the 5x1 switch. When I received the replacement I immediately installed it and it works perfectlly with all of my components. Thank you monoprice for standing behind your equipment and your friendly customer service department.

I love this switcher. Works great!!!! I also puchased the 4X1 last year when I built the A/V Center and that one has been flawless. Only 1 thing just wish the 5X1 had an on/off switch on the remote and the unit like the 4X1.
Monoprice has great products for a great price I must have referred ALL of my friends to purchase Monoprice products. Keep up the good work

After a great deal of research between the Monoprice line of HDMI switches and the Psyclone 4x2 HDMI 1.3a certified switch at Best Buy for $199, I decided to go with the Monoprice 5x1 HDMI 1.2a switch for 2 reasons. Firstly, the switch received a great review and got an 8.3 out of 10 rating on CNET.com in Nov 2007 (Google cnet review monoprice), stating that although the device is not certified for HDMI 1.3a, they had no problem passing Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio through it. Secondly, it costs just a fourth of what the Psyclone switch costs, and hundreds less than the top of the line switches, that I can''t afford.
I had read several bad product reviews on Monoprice''s website about the PS3 only working on port 5, and the LEDs being super bright, so I felt obligated to contribute my review to the contrary. I ordered the switch 3 days ago, after speaking at length with a knowledgeable technical rep at Monoprice, and it just arrived this morning, on Christmas Eve 2007.
I plugged my DirecTV HR-21 HDDVR into port 1, PS3 into port 2, and Xbox 360 elite into port 3. I then plugged the switch''s output into HDMI input 1 (of 2) of my ONKYO TX-SR605, which is capable of upscaling video to 1080p and processing Dolby TrueHD. Lastly, I plugged my receiver''s HDMI output into my Mitsubishi WD-73734 73 1080p rear projection TV (yeah, that''s right - it''s a monster -).
Upon plugging everything in (in under 5 minutes) and turning on each source, I was able to instantly switch between any of the three inputs flawlessly - with no degradation of picture quality. I tested with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Blu-ray through the PS3, and it looked just as good as if going straight through the receiver or directly to the TV. I realize that PS3''s cell broadband engine currently converts all audio to DTS 5.1 multichannel output, but a firmware update in the future could enable processing of Dolby TrueHD, so it was fairly important to me that I find an HDMI switch that could pass it.
Additionally, the LEDs are no longer super bright, as Monoprice has now placed a tinted plastic cover over the front panel. Any input whose source device is powered on will illuminate red, while the active input is green - and the switch is so small, I don''t even notice the lights while watching TV.
Bottom line - Monoprice has knowledgeable technical staff, and an unbelievably priced line of HDMI switches. The HDX-501 does exactly what it says it does, right out of the box, and it was super easy for my One for All 9910 universal remote to learn the input selecting commands from the switch''s remote.
ONKYO has recently made it possible to buy a full 1080p upscaling receiver for under $1000, and you will be hard pressed to find a similarly priced receiver with more than 2 HDMI inputs. I would recommend trying this switch to anyone in need of more HDMI ports, before spending $200-300 on one that does the exact same thing. Thanks, Monoprice!

Purchased the 5x1 HDMI Switch (rev2.1) along with two 6-ft HDMI (28AWG) and two 3-ft HDMI (28AWG).
Have connected
LG LDA-531 >> port 1
Toshiba HD-A1 >> port 4
Sony PS3 >> port 5
Output using MonsterCable HDMI to DVI >> Sony 60 LCD RearProj.
The results are excellent. Works great with the Logitech Harmony 890 ... codes for Monoprice found under Audio/Video Switchers.
I had tried a no-name ASiD 3x1 switch but had trouble with red sparklies. No problems whatsoever with the Monoprice 5x1 and cables.
So far only three days of use... will report back if any issues develop.
Shipping to Canada (International USPS) was only 5 business days.

After reading about compatibility issues with the 5x1 switch and the PS3 on Monoprice, I was a little hesitant to purchase this switch rev 2.1. However, to my surprise, the switch works perfectly with my PS3. I can plug it into any port it switches without problems. Currently I have a PS3 and Toshiba HD-A2 connected to the switch. The output feeds through a 50’ Monoprice HDMI cable to a Sanyo PLV-Z4 projector. Although the projector is only 720P, it accepts a 1080p input from the PS3 without any signal degradation. I’m very happy with my purchase!

Just a quick note to those considering the Oppo 981 for use with the Monoprice 5x1 HDMI switch:
Mine works perfectly to toggle HDMI on my Panasonic PT-60DL54 between:
1) Motorola DCT-6416 PVR
2) HTPC w/ BFG GeForce 7600GT via 25'' DVI -- HDMI cable
3) Oppo 981 DVD player
It takes a couple of seconds, but all in all, everything works exactly as intended. Just figured I''d pass that along...

Works perfectly with my PS3 and HTPC at 1080p. Even programmed my JP1 remote (an old Radio Shack 15-2117) to control it. The only possible complaint I could maybe have with it is if I needed two HDMI outputs to run to the TV and a receiver, but with my current system that''s not a problem.

It integrated perfectly with my Harmony 688 remote. Monoprice is the best. They ship fast and have the BEST prices. Keep up the great work. I’m a costumer for life!

I''ve read reports indicating that Comcast Cable Boxes may not allow HDMI switching, but this was not the case with this MonoPrice Switch. I also programmed my Logitech Harmony to work with this Switch.

Mine works fine. No dropouts or anything else undesirable.
Built quality is in the upper 20%
Exterior finish is the same as the grainy flat black that''s on most my other components.
Size and weight is small enough to tuck it away behind your component cabinet in a vertical orientation position screwed into the cabinet. This saves on shelf space.
I''d recommend ordering some shorter HDMI cables between your components and this switcher to help minimize the amount of wires behind your components.

Easy to set up and the switch just feels really well made. Nice and heavy weight to it. Switch time is a bit slow(about 4 seconds) but still not enough for me not to give it 10 stars.

It works like a charm in my system:
Sanyo PLV-Z3 ---- 50ft Supra hdmi cable---- 5x1 monoprice switch.
Sources are:
- Pioneer 868 avi-s (same as 59elite) --- 3ft hdmi cable unbranded
- Humax HDCI 2000 --- 3ft hdmi cable unbranded
- Ati Radeon 1600pro AGP --- dvi/hdmi adapter ---50ft Atlona Hdmi cable
Yes, it works with 50ft + 50ft cable lenght :)
In addition the ac-adapter works well also
with european 220V, only a plug adapter was needed.
Only downside is that i had to buy it from a collegue because Monoprice doesn''t ship neither accept payment from Europe... grrrr :)

This HDMI switcher is a great deal. I was especially impressed with the quality construction and price. I am using it with an Infocus ScreenPlay 4805 projector, WinXP Media Center (Geforce 6200), and a Motorola DCT-6412 DVR (Comcast). I got this switcher because the Comcast DVR (and/or the projector) had problems with HDCP negotiation when switching inputs from HDMI to Component. So far, I haven''t had the problem again! Switching between devices is fast.

I got the Rev.2.0 switcher today and I thought I''d just share my observations. Here''s my equipment:
Fujitsu P40 50 plasma
Verizon FIOS HD set top box (Motorola manufactured)
SA 8300 HD cable box from Cablevision
Toshiba A1 HD DVD player
JVC D-Theater Deck (model 5U)
I really had no issues with the old switcher and appear to have no issues with the new one.
I''m not sure, but it seems like switch times to my cable box have been reduced, but other switch times seemed to have remained the same.
I find the status light colors of the new LEDs to be an improvement.
Other than that, a very nice product at a very reasonable price. I''ve still got a Gefen switcher which was a lot more but didin''t work as well.

Thank you for the opportunity to test this unit. Below are the details of
my test configuration, but the bottom line is that I found no operational
issues with the switch at all--everything just works. My only nits to
pick are that its red LEDs are brighter than necessary, so that they are a
distraction in the viewing room if they''re not hidden, and that
automatically switching from one input to another seems to require that the
inactive input be completely powered off. This last may be a limitation of
the interface rather than your unit, since I have no basis for comparison.
Test configuration:
HDMI Output: Samsung 244T LCD monitor DVI input (Digital Connection 10-foot
28AWG(?) HDMI-DVI cable)
HDMI Inputs:
1: MyHD DVI daughter card output up to 1920x1080i, also connected to EVGA
GeForce 6200 8x AGP card using 1920x1200p @60 Hz desktop (Monoprice 6-foot
28AWG DVI-HDMI cable)
2: TViX M5000U HD network player DVI output up to ATSC 1920x1080i
(Monoprice 3-ft 28AWG DVI-HDMI cable)
3: Zensonic Z500 HD network DVD player HDMI output at 1920x1200p @60 Hz

This switcher works exactly as advertised. I''m using it to switch between my cable box, HD-DVD player, and upconverting DVD player, since I only have 1 HDMI input on my 42 Sony. It was very easy to integrate the switcher into my system using a Harmony 520 remote control. Build quality is solid and better than I had anticipated. Excellent product at an excellent price. I am floored by monoprice.com''s quality, price and service!

I have been looking for a HDMI switcher for some time.Look NO further the Monoprice 5X1 is the ideal for future components.It comes with a remote.I have it programmed with my harmony remote it works awesome.You could not ask for a better product to controll all your HD components,As for the switching between sources it is only 2 seconds.Add a harmony remote it will be so easy to use.1 click on your remote and thats all.
Yes,there is a Monoprice 2X1..But for the little difference,comsider 5X1 for future components.Works great with my Sony HD TV,And Sony HDMI dvd player.

Switch works great, feeding my DTivo HR10-250 and Oppo DV-970HD to my Fujitsu P42XTA51US. Using monoprice hdmi cables, a great bargain also. Speedy shipping and solid packaging as well. Very satisfied, definitely recommend for your a/v needs.

It works perfectly with a Pioneer Elite DV-59AVi DVD player and a Humax HFA100 HDTV tuner to a JVC HDTV AV-56P575 at 1080i. Great value. Recommended.

I added this switch due to the fact my Sharp DT-300 only has a single DVI input and I have multiple DVI and HDMI sources.
Currently using with two input devices (OPPO 971 and a Comcast Motorola dual tuner DVR).
Pros:
HDMI switcher remote commands learned by Sony RMAV3100 so single button push changes both the hdmi video switch and audio on the amplifier.
Great value compared to the overpriced Gefen switchers.
HDCP in switch works between cable box and projector.
No problem driving signal over a 23-ft DVI-cable to the projector (ie no sparklies)
No problem using a Monoprice female-DVI-to-male-HDMI converter block with switcher.
5 inputs!!! Somewhat future proof. Think PS3 or XBox360
Cons:
HDCP handshake is a little on the slow side when initially changing between the DVD player(non HDCP) and cable box. Approx 5-7s.
Overall
The 5x1 HDMI remote switch is a great value. The slow HDCP handshake which cannot be attributed to only the switch is not enough to be a deal breaker.

I''ve used and tested this switcher with Sharp LG-G5C26U LCD Display, Toshiba SD-K850SU DVD Player, OPPO V97H DVD Player, and Panasonic DVD-S97 DVD Player. The switcher just work great with all these players. Great switcher! Highly recommended.
