IOGEAR releases 4-port HDMI switch

IOGEAR has just released the GHDMIAS4 4-port automatic HDMI switch, which takes four of your favorite HDMI inputs and pares them down to one output. It has automatic sensing to switch to an input when a new source is turned on, or you can use the remote with discrete buttons. The switch supports 1080p and HDMI 1.3, is HDCP-compliant, and ships now for $189.95, including a bonus 6-foot HDMI cable.

$189.95? No thanks.

Monoprice has one (I own one) @ $50.92 that has 4x1, does 1080p, auto switches and has a remote.

Ciao!

Dave; Thanks for the tip, I think I'll have to check that out. I know Best Buy had a Pelican or something for $200 and that too was pretty steep, and IOGear's offering wasn't any help.

I'm happy with Monoprice's affordable 50ft HDMI cable, which performs fine even though people have told me that it's not supposed to work.

I have the 5 port HDMI switch from monoprice.
It's awesome and does 1080p HDCP.
HDMI 1.2 though.
