I have an HDMI switcher before, it was very fast to switch channels. This Anker's unit takes 3-7 sec to switch screens.

We really wanted this to work, but no CEC support? my sound bar and other devices are no longer linked and dont connect

My TV has two HDMI ports, this wasn't enough for the vast amount of consoles I own.Me and my brother had a great time struggling to get behind the TV and plug this HDMI switcher, but it was worth it in the end. Though, that was our own struggle, I'm sure it's relatively easy to hook up if you have free space behind your TV.Technically we only use three of the ports, but the forth port is occasionally used for hooking up a laptop to watch a movie.

the only thing is that it has a bit of a delay when switching from one slot to another but it does an amazing job at keeping all of my devices connected to my decently old tv.

Needed more HDMI ports on my TV. This thing did what I needed it to do. Picked this one over others because the quality seemed higher, and seems to be true. I was able to teach my smart remote the buttons from the included remote so that's nice. My only real gripe is that it sometimes seems to freeze up and no inputs pass through to tv. Hoping it was a power issue and moved it to a dedicated plug instead of the tv. fingers crossed. (cord included, but no wall adapter) Minor silly gripe is the power cord plugs in the side, instead of the back with all the hdmi ports.
