HDMI Switch
Finally ran out of HDMI inputs on the HDTV, the TV has 4 and I need 5. Any recommendations for an inexpensive HDMI switch ? Say, 1 input and 4 outputs. Auto sensing would be nice as well.

Monoprice. HDMI Switches Anything you get at a retail store will cost more and be lower quality (depending on brand of course). Stay away from store brands.

IF you have a 3D tv, be aware that HDMI 1.4x(a?) switches are needed for some TVs. That is to pass a 3D signal with the handshake. I know someone will come and say that side by side mode etc should work...but it's not an option for the PS3 for example.

Like my expensive Sony Bravia. Not that I'm bitter...

I have their 4x2 HDMI switch. Works great. Just wish that the HDMI spec included a connector that latches in place. Their HDMI cables are good and priced right as well.

Be careful with the HD-300. It has weak HDMI output. It was erratic with my switch in combination with my Samsung TV. Then I switched to a good HDMI switching AV receiver, and the problems are gone
