HDMI splitter for an older Panasonic Plasma (1 Viewer)

[Dan-HH]

I'm shopping for an HDMI switch for my older Panasonic TH-50PX600U which runs at 1366 x 768 (specs here:)


I searched and found a bunch of things around HDMI switches, but since it is a combo of an older TV with HTPC and laptops I wanted to see if there are any gotcha's.


Current state:

• Comcast DVR HDMI to input 1
• Sony blu-ray HDMI to input 2
• Wii-U connected to component inputs.
• Logitech Harmony remote does all the switching magic.

Future state:

• Comcast DVR on HDM1
• HDMI switch to input 2 switching the following:
• Sony Blu Ray
• HTPC with HDMI (either embedded graphics or a GTX 760)
• Extra HDMI input for connecting a laptop.
• (maybe) change Wii U to HDMI

Is there anything I should look out for choosing the swtich?


I was looking at these:

monoprice 4 port switch

monoprice 5 port switch

Do the source devices sync up OK through the switch to the TV? The computer really wants to do 1080p, and it sometimes is a chore to get them to stay at 1366x768. I know the TV is old, but it is still a beautiful picture.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.


edit: I also have digital output from the TV back to my AV receiver. My receiver pre-dates HDMI so I'd like to keep this as-is for the time being.

There is no "foolproof switch" for every situation.

Buy 3-4 switches, of different brands. Keep the 1 that works best, return the rest.
