It was getting flaky and only had four ports. It’s a great KVM for the price but you may run into issues depending on the hardware, OS and configuration used. Not to fear, the vendor is really good at responding even when the issue isn’t with the switch. The cables on this one are somewhat specialized having an HDMI and USB plug on the computer side and a an HDMI plug on the switch side. So, you are pretty much limited to how far the computers can be from the switch. I’ m pretty sure that if you stick the switch in the middle of the rack you should be able to reach all the computers in a full height rack. if working with proper servers, you may need to mount the switch on the back rails. My favorite feature is the eight button wired remote. The remote connects to the switch using a standard USB-C cable and you aren’t restricted to using the provided cable. I’m using a 20ft cable and you may be able to get further but you will need a higher end cable. The one I’m using is certified to support 8K video. When I did have issues, I reached out to the vendor and they responded quickly. In my case, I was having issues with black screens and not being able to get the connected machine to respond with the logon screen. I ended up turning off some or all of the power saving features. The vendor indicated that the switch has circuitry to send the wake signaling to the associated computer but for now I have found the switch works more reliably if I just don’t let the computers hibernate/sleep. The 2018 Mac Mini I have has proven to be more challenging. Despite what I’ve read, the changes I’ve made, and the third party software I’ve installed, if the machine is locked, it completely shuts off video signaling after a few minutes. I recently learned that pressing Command-F1 (switch monitor) will restore the signal. I’d recommend that you have a relatively simple monitor to troubleshoot with. I had my new Samsung Smart monitor connected up when problems started popping up and it made it much more difficult to determine what and where the issues were. Like everything these days, they don’t let you adjust things to the way you want them. You have to deal with their stupid “Smart” features. I’ve since gone back to using my 12 year old JVC with the switch. I’ve worked around the issues I am having and I’ll eventually find the anomaly and a fix, but at this point, I’m sure the switch is working as intended and I can go back to fuming at the usual suspects, myself included. Review: Great HDMI switch with some gotchas that make it hard to configure the LAN control - I give this 5 stars for good functionality at a reasonable price, but there are several issues to be aware of. First, this functions well as advertised. It's an 8x1 HDMI switcher supporting HDCP 2.2 and 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60Hz. Switching can be controlled by front panel buttons, IR remote, RS-232, or Ethernet/IP. I use these on TVs where I have many HDMI devices that I want to toggle between. I have used this with Google TV, BluRay, Ubiquiti ViewPort, Roku, and other types of devices. I primarily use the Ethernet/LAN/IP control capabilities. I have Lutron keypads set to select the TV input. Programming the Lutron Homeworks QS system to enable switching HDMI inputs is relatively simple. Here are the downsides to this device: - The RS-232 port is a 3-pin connector that must be wired to a 9-pin Female D-type RS-232 connector to use the port. It's not hard to do, but this does not connect to a standard RS-232 cable out of the box. You will need to make a custom cable if you want to use RS-232. The manufacturer should include a 3-pin to 9-pin Female D-Type RS-232 adapter. - The LAN/Ethernet port comes set to a static 192.128.1.10/24 IP address. It does not use DHCP. The IP address requires using a custom Windows utility to configure. The Windows system running the custom utility must either connect to the static 192.128.1.10 address or use the RS-232 port. The device does not have a Web browser interface. It listens for hex commands on the IP address port (default 5000) in the same format as on the RS-232 interface. There needs to be a way to configure the IP address without using a Windows PC. - There is no way to factory reset the device. If you set the IP address wrong and are unable to connect over IP, you must use the RS-232 port to reset the IP address. The device should have a factory reset button or button sequence. Aside from these negatives, which make setting up the device more complicated than necessary, these are great little HDMI switches. I'm about to install the 16-input version on my main living room display, where I frequently switch between multiple security camera views and different AV devices. ## Features - HDMI Switch 4K 60Hz Resolution: Supports resolutions up to 3840 * 2160 @ 60Hz, HDCP2.2 compliant.

The problem was getting consistently more frequent until today when it completely took a dump and now won't display on any input. For the cost id expected alot longer lifespan. As others have started the remote is awful and it's quality feels like something you'd order from Temu. Save your money and buy something more reliable. This is too expensive to crap out so quickly. ## Frequently Bought Together - TESmart 8×1 HDMI Switch 8 in 1 Out 4K @ 60Hz HDCP with 19-inch Rack-Ears | RS-232 / LAN Control | IR Remote Control and Auto Switch | Auto Scan Time Interval - Black - UVOOI Short HDMI Cable 1 Foot 2-Pack, 4K 1FT HDMI to HDMI Cable High Speed HDMI 2.0 Cord Supports 4K@60Hz, 2K, 1080P, HDCP 2.2, HDR, 3D, ARC & Ethernet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/206027997-hsw0801a1u-hdmi-switch](https://www.desertcart.es/products/206027997-hsw0801a1u-hdmi-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
