I was a little concerned when I first ordered this product for a few reasons. I was running my component cables through my Yamaha receiver but simply ran out of room. I have a 64inch widescreen HDTV and was fearful anything less expensive would result in a poor connection/signal. I was pleasantly mistaken. This would easily be worth the original $99 price, but becomes a no brainer with it at only $63. I use it for my DVD player, my XBOX 360 with HDDVD player and my PS3. All of them have no loss in picture quality. Trust me on my 64inch TV it would be easy to catch. It also supports older connections for video and I would imagine since they are less of a signal that there wouldn't be a problem. I was also impressed it has inputs for digital audio as well as ethernet connections. It has everything but HDMI. It even comes preprogrammed with names of every game system and video device on the market.

My only reccommendation would be to ditch the included component cable and replace it with a better quality one. I'm not sure how they would work but my review is with a Monster cable as they looked pretty cheap. Since they were included though who cares?

EDIT:

Well my foot went in my mouth after writing this review. I should have used it longer as i discovered that it isn't as good as I had thought. When I began watching DVDs and playing more games (PS3 and 360) I soon realized that the picture signal became distorted. It seems as though it has more difficulty during action scenes for some reason, but also was distorted at the opening credits of some DVDs/ games. I ran the cables back to my TV and Yamaha receiver without further problem. I just sent this back and am waiting on the refund. Hopefully nobody used my review and made the same mistake I did. Sorry.

The format of the switch is great, and it is too bad that (at least through component cables) it is not compatible with the Wii. That's because it loses video sync on extremely bright signals, like the Wii's pure-white menu.

It also appears to blow-out the highlights of DVD video sources, and loses sync on over-bright video signals from DVD as well.

So basically, I am returning this unit and trying to find something that does not interfere with my component imagery.

For the price it cannot be beat. Good for organizing multiple game systems. Wished it had a few more ports for my other game systems I have.

Main machine is great it has ethernet connection so if you have two systems connected just switch over to line to and bam your done.

I'm running a Wii, XBox 360, PS2, Dreamcast, and Mac Mini through it and all work fine. I've never seen the problems some other reviewers mention with bright screens and losing sync, so perhaps there are several hardware revisions in the market. There are a few bells and whistles that could have been done better: you can assign any of a long list of source names to each input, but you can't add user-entered names, so the Wii will always show up as 'Gamecube,' and the Ethernet switching is essentially useless--it's a 2-to-1 multiplexer, not a hub, so only one port will be active at a time; a five-port hub would have been tremendously more useful with modern consoles and other devices. Overall, though, it works just fine as an input selector. There's a barely perceptible loss of sharpness compared to going directly into the receiver; I only notice it with things like text windows on the Mini, and never when playing a game or watching a video.
