Technology has been advancing at a rapid rate. A lot of people work day in and day out in their bid to find the latest inventions, latest products; products which become the next best thing to happen. In their craze for such technology breakthroughs they develop a lot of products, some of which are extremely useful while some are totally rubbish. No doubt, some products fail while others are accepted by a lot of customers and soon have a flourishing market.
People are so busy with their lives these days that a need to multitask is seen. Keeping in mind, this need for speed, technologists are developing products on these lines. A similar product is 3 Port HDMI Auto Switch Box with Remote. It is marketed by Neet and is a 3 input – 1 output port device. This device provides three input ports for connecting different high definition multimedia interface devices. These three devices could then be connected to the single port on your television set, monitor, laptop or other compatible devices. The gadget is very handy if your requirement wants you to switch between multiple devices.
Coming to the technological details of the products, this gadget supports the auto switching feature. The auto switching feature means that the device can easily switch between the three external devices on its own and does not require any manual assistance. There has been no compromise with the video quality as this product supports high definition video with zero compression and zero loss of frames. The clarity of still pictures and images is of top notch quality as the supported resolution is high and is of the order 1920 x 1200. Thus, as far as the quality of motion video and picture is concerned, the device is superb. Also, the quality of supported audio is commendable. Although, the device has an auto switching feature, it has an extra remote control provided. The remote comes in handy for switching between two or more recording devices. The remote gives you the extra bit of manual flexibility. It could be self powered using HDMI; however, there is the option for charging as there is a 5 v DC power option available. The device supports 25 m long cable on either extreme.
Apart from these technological specifications, the product is extremely portable as the packaged product weighs a modest 150 gm. The device also has an amazing compatibility guarantee. Compatibility guarantee ensures that this piece of technology brilliance is compatible with a lot of devices. However, in the rare case that the device fails to be compatible with your appliance, there is a money refund system in place. This is a very beneficial feature as it gives you a back up just in case the rare event occurs. So far, the product seems to be refreshingly good as it is full of great technical features and also has an awesome compact design. However, to truly assess a product, we should consider a few user reviews. User reviews give the true picture of the merit and the problem of the product. As the users have been using the product and then pass a review on the item, they best judge the product's performance.
A critical review on the product claims that although the device delivers its promise yet it has its fair share of glitches as well as he claims that the picture display has "annoying spots". The device led to little green spots on the display unit and especially so in the darker side of the projected images. The dots continue to persist even after change of HDMI cables and are obviously harassing. The problem is not with the monitor but with this gadget as there arte no sots when the monitor is run without connecting this gadget. Thus, this could be a very disturbing problem for users who wish to purchase the product.
Coming to a positive review, the user claims it to be a "great kit" as he has been able to smoothly use his play station 3, sky high definition and DVD. All of them have worked easily and he could easily switch between the three of them as per his desire and will. He praises the product a lot and recommends it as well. The product has given him the right level of performance as he had expected and proved to be a great buy for him. He obviously didn't suffer the green dots unlike the critical review user. Another user has been awed by the product's performance. He even complements the portable size of the product as it is extremely small and compact. The user is thoroughly satisfied with the performance level and gives it 5 /5. No doubt, scoring full on the scale represents something.
Thus, it seems that the device should be a great product to buy only if you could be surer of the display problem as if you too get the green dots, the gadget could turn out to be useless, because there is no point watching a high definition video with green dots marked all over. It would be worthwhile considering other similar products and checking your options. If you are still adamant on buying this, try and read more reviews and find out if this display problem has been reported by a lot of people. If so be the case, then do not opt for this product. If not, purchasing this item could be a good option.
