Just get this 8x1 Enhanced Powered HDMI Switch from Moonrise! . This switch has eight input and one output HDMI ports on the back each of which is gold plated to ensure smooth corrosion-free connections. The switch is powered by an included 9 VDC adapter which is designed for international use with four different plug modules for the US UK Australasia and the EU. The included remote control allows you to cycle through the eight inputs or access them directly using the numbered buttons.

Dimensions: 13. 5" x 5. 1" x 1. 8" Review: Easy to use, Lagless for gaming - I have a rather absurd retro gaming setup, with 13 consoles wired up to my basement TV (the FPGA consoles with HDMI out, such as the Super NT and AVS, as well an an ultrahdmi modded N64). Some consoles without HDMI out have a Retrotink 2x going to this switch. My AV receiver only has 6 HDMI in, so I needed lots more. I tried the cheaper route, using up 2 receiver ports with the chinese 5x1 switches here on desertcart, including two by AVBOX and one by NEWPOWER. They had good reviews here so I thought it'd be ok, but no. First one lagged like crazy, second one had a dead port, third one almost worked but required removing/reinserting the HDMI out every time to output the signal, and for a new product to need that every time I use the unit is a bit silly. So I forked over the extra money for the monoprice... This unit is FANTASTIC. Flawless operation, lag-free gaming. Automatic switching works exactly as I want it to (It auto switches when something is plugged in when nothing else is on, but won't autoswitch if you are using an input and you turn another on). Remote works well. I can see how the lights could get annoying when trying to watch a blu ray, but the need for occasional electric tape to cover it isn't worth knocking off a star to me. It is a small blip on an otherwise flawless unit. Review: Ok, here's the scoop - If you order this from desertcart, and you get a message that it's out of stock or the seller recieved defective shipments, cancel your order immediately. Go to Monoprice.com and buy it directly, it's cheaper. Those here selling it are just ordering it from Monoprice after you place your order, and adding a percentage to the purchase. They DO NOT HAVE IT in stock. This Switch box works very well, however it is a bit big. The most annoying feature is the lights, they're always on and blinking. I can get used to it, but you might want to cover them with something. Nothing bad can be said about the functioning of the device, and if you need HDMI ports, this is the one to buy. (The 5x1 is also good, but only input 5 can handle the more advanced HDMI signals, i.e. encoded) the 8x1 works on all inputs with the "encoded" signal. ## Features - It seems like everything uses HDMI these days from home theater equipment to your Android phone - This switch has eight input and one output HDMI ports on the back each of which is gold plated to ensure smooth corrosion-free connections - The switch is powered by an included 9 VDC adapter which is designed for international use with four different plug modules for the US UK Australasia and the EU ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003L14X3A | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (145) | | Date First Available | May 6, 2010 | | Department | Auto, Powered HDMI Switches | | Item Weight | 4.13 pounds | | Item model number | 104067 | | Manufacturer | Monoprice Inc. | | Product Dimensions | 16.3 x 9.2 x 3.4 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Monoprice - **Cable Type:** HDMI - **Compatible Devices:** Television - **Connector Type:** HDMI - **Number of Ports:** 8 ## Images ![Monoprice 8X1 Enhanced Powered HDMI Switcher w/ Remote - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51o6D2ruBdL.jpg) ![Monoprice 8X1 Enhanced Powered HDMI Switcher w/ Remote - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51b52yQeiCL.jpg) ![Monoprice 8X1 Enhanced Powered HDMI Switcher w/ Remote - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nzDupW5RL.jpg) ![Monoprice 8X1 Enhanced Powered HDMI Switcher w/ Remote - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51u9inSP3sL.jpg) ![Monoprice 8X1 Enhanced Powered HDMI Switcher w/ Remote - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Im3j7-BFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, Lagless for gaming *by K***N on April 6, 2019* I have a rather absurd retro gaming setup, with 13 consoles wired up to my basement TV (the FPGA consoles with HDMI out, such as the Super NT and AVS, as well an an ultrahdmi modded N64).

I like having everything hooked up and ready to go at a moment's notice, and my current TV only has a measly 2 HDMI inputs located in a hard to reach spot in the center back of the TV. So having a switcher has always been a must for me and the more inputs, the better. After playing around with cheap unpowered 3x1 and powered 5x1 switchers, I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a 8x1 unit. The price jump when going from 5 to 8 is massive, so it wasn't an easy decision. But overall, I'm glad I did it. This unit does what it says it does - it switches between 8 different inputs. Inputs can be switched using the buttons along the front or with the mini remote included. The remote is IR so presumably you could program switching functions into a universal remote. The build quality is very sturdy with a metal casing and rubberized feet. Input plugs are spaced out nice and evenly across the back of the unit and are labelled clearly. The unit is externally powered (as expected with this many inputs) but unlike smaller/cheaper switchers, it can be turned off when not in use. The image quality is good and I've seen no real issues with degradation. I also haven't felt any notable lag in my games, although it wouldn't be surprising to learn if there was a frame or two added. That's just how it goes with switchers. I can't really tell on this unit though and that's a good thing. Another thing I'm not sure if I've seen others mention is the ability to daisy chain. Many cheap switchers will NOT like to daisy chain with other switchers in order to get more inputs. But I know for a fact that this unit does in fact work with my 3x1 unpowered switcher. So in case I go even crazier and add even more consoles simultaneously hooked up, it's good to know I have the ability to do so via daisy chain. Now for the things I don't like... first are the lights along the front. These things are BRIGHT and cannot be switched off or dimmed while the unit is on. Another annoying thing is that they scroll between 1 through 8 when no input has been selected. I've resorted to placing a long strip of electrical tape over my buttons just so that I don't have to see the constant bright, scrolling lights. The other issue I have is that there is no auto-detection. While auto-detection can sometimes be more of a pain than its worth (some devices draw too much power even when powered off and can switch over when you don't want them to) I still would've liked to have the option to switch it on or off. As it stands, this unit will ONLY switch when the device in question is already on and I press the correct input number on either the unit or the remote. By default, it actually does auto detect input 1 for me (my cable box) so that's nice at least. But for inputs 2-8 it can be slightly annoying to have to fumble for the little remote and press the button just to get the image to come up. For a device that costs $100 or more, you'd think auto-detect would be a standard feature someone would want. So overall, I think this is the best there is for an 8x1 switcher. There aren't a lot of choices and the price is pretty intimidating, but at least this provides a solid option. There are some design choices that I question, but at least it does the job and works well. --- ## 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.pl/products/7284013-monoprice-8x1-enhanced-powered-hdmi-switcher-w-remote](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/7284013-monoprice-8x1-enhanced-powered-hdmi-switcher-w-remote) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
