HDMI 3 port switch

[Brad Johnson]

This doesn't seem to fit the parameters of the Hot Deals section so I'll put it here. If it doesn't fit here, mods can delete it.

I have an older HD tv with one HDMI input and needed more inputs. I found a 3 in 1 HDMI switcher, with remote and a 6' HDMI cable and free shipping on ebay... for $7.99.

I bought three. I have three refurbed HP monitors (two 22", one 24") and will use the first one to switch between computer, Tivo HD and a DVD player on the 24".

I've purchased the same device for just under $20 (which at the time was a great deal) and it works well, I can even do input switching with my Logitech Harmony 1000 universal remote, the codes are already online (great remote). This is a crazy deal on a very handy device. The same vendor also had great pricing on long HDMI and HDMI to DVI cables.

These switches combined with a universal remote (Harmony 550's are going for under $50 delivered on ebay) makes source selection as simple or simpler than using a tv remote.

I have no connection with ebay sellers. Some of the deals are unbelievable. I just stocked up on component video cables, a seller had 25 sets of 10' red green blue red and white cables for less that $40 delivered. 250' of in wall 14 gauge speaker cable for under $50 delivered. Harman Kardon is blowing out AVR 254 HT receivers for $220 (they have HDMI switching built in), you just have to submit a best offer. Or 5 HDMI cables for less than the price of one at Walmart.
