Belkin AV24502tt 3 to 1 HDMI Switch
Belkin AV24502tt 3 to 1 HDMI Switch
The PureAV HDMI Interface 3-to-1 video switch allows you to connect to and switch among three high-definition, digital-video source devices through only one High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connection on your high-definition television (HDTV).Its quick adoption has made HDMI one of the most common audio video connections available. It is used on high-definition components, such as HDTVs, up-converting DVD players, HD cable/satellite boxes, entertainment computers, and the newly released Blu-ray and HD-DVD players. This has created a bottleneck at the HDTV connection-with a common scenario featuring three HDMI/DVI sources to only one HDMI/DVI input. The PureAV HDMI Interface 3-to-1 video switch lets you connect three sources into one HDMI input on your HDTV. Then, simply select among the source devices either by pressing the input-selector button on the switch itself, or by using the included remote control to scroll to or directly select a source.The switch offers an ideal way to connect digital displays such as HDTVs, plasma displays, DLP TVs, LCD TVs, and projectors. HDMI also provides an all-digital connection between such source devices as HDTVs, DVD players/recorders, digital cable/satellite boxes, and AV receivers.

5 Stars It does what it says it does
I looked over numerous types of these devices. Not very many actually do split your input and allow multiple devices to be used without some other issues. This one does. It works perfectly with no loss of detail or similar problems. Don’t try to cheap it out. You’ll be sorry. I running a BR player, PC and game into one input on the TV. The switchability is great.
1 Star Product arrived with missing parts-
I order the “HDmi 3X1 Switch with remote Hdmi/hdmi Cable 6 by Pure AV” the product arrived late with missing parts. Requested the saler provide the missing parts (or an explination) and never got a response. DON’T PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER OR YOU’LL BE SORRY!!!
5 Stars Belkin HDMI Switcher
Does everything it is supposed to do. No complaints thus far.
Great Switcher!!!
4 Stars Belkin AV24502tt HDMI Switch
Good buy for considerably less money than I was able to find one in the local stores.
5 Stars Works on long hdmi runs
I have a 40 foot hdmi run from a closet with the A/V equimpment to the TV. The Belkin switcher worked perfect. Also I was able to create macros with my RF remote to switch the Belkin hdmi source. I switch between the DirecTV HD DVR and my Onkyo A/V Receiver. DVD player goes through the A/V receiver. I had read that some brands of switchers had trouble with certain sources or long runs but the Belkin has worked flawless.
Samsung LN40A550 40 Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Samsung LN40A550 40 Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
The SAMSUNG LN40A550 delivers the sharpest, most realistic picture quality you’ve ever seen. Full HD (1080p) contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. That means more pixels, more details and a better picture. A resolution that is approximately twice as much as conventional HD TVs creates the most perfect picture imaginable. Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that’s sure to catch your eye with 30,000:1 contrast ratio. One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to “refresh” itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 5ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes. Want to get more entertainment out of your TV than movies and shows? With our Wiselink USB connection, you can easily and quickly hook up your MP3 player or digital camera and entertain family and friends with a photo slideshow set to music.

5 Stars Best 60Hz 1080p HDTV Under $1000!
I did a lot of research looking for our perfect High Definition television for about a year before finally making our purchase. Because we have only one television in our house we wanted to be certain of our choice. Sure, you can spend more money for the same size television with similar specs, but why would you?
The Samsung LN40A550 has a stellar full hi-def 1080p picture for a 40″ HDTV running at only 60Hz. After seeking out an HDTV for many moons that would satisfy our viewing needs we had basically settled on one of three options: a Sony Bravia, a Sharp Aquos or the Samsung television which we now own and couldn’t be happier with. The resolution is superb, the colors are rich and performance is rock solid.
From the opening chime you’ll be delighted until you turn it off and the set chimes a second time (there is the option to turn this off if it annoys you). There are three HDMI inputs and a PC input (handily located on the side for quick laptop connectivity); we currently only utilize two HDMI ports, one for an Xbox 360 which doubles as our upconverting DVD player and one for our HD DVR/Receiver.
The set up is a snap, and if you’re familiar with menu schemes, you’ll quickly find yourself navigating with ease. We picked this set up on sale for under $800 after waiting a long time for prices to come down and I see no viable competition for it in the $1100 and under range. If you require more HDMI inputs or demand a 120 Hz picture, then I can’t quite recommend this for you, but if you have typical family needs and want a rock-solid beautiful television for under $1000 you can do no better. Buy it. You’ll be glad you did.
5 Stars Samsung is the best!
I bought this to put in our bedroom and we find our self’s watching TV more in there than the living room! I’ve always had Sony’s, but now I’m definitely going for Samsung. Great LCD television all around!!
5 Stars Samsung and Amazon two great companys
Before purchasing my product i had not dealt with either company before.I was slightly appresensive about dealing with companies I was not familiar with.However after deciding
to make my purchase I decided to give them a try.I have no regrets about making that decision.Amazon aided my decision by provideing me with extensive information about my product.The price they offered was perfect for me because I am on a fixed income.I heard of Samsung but had never owned one of their products.The first Samsung we purchased was for our living room a 52inch flat screen LCD HD TV.I was very pleased with the quality of every acpect with the exception of the sound.We added extra speakers and the sound is surperb.The features of the TV work perfect for us.I was so pleased we purchased a second Sumsung 40inch LCD HD TV for the bed room with the same features as the first one.I would highly recommend both companies to anyone who is interested inculding my family and friends.
1 Star Buy something else
Please consider another brand of lcd. The sound on this set is inferior to almost all other sets on the market. The set stopped working completely one and a half months after the 1 year warrenty. I made a mistake and wish you do not. Sincerely…..Dennis
5 Stars Nice TV for the price
We got this TV for 6+ months and everything is good and meets our expectation. Relatively speaking TV speakers might be the weakest link, but we hook it up with external speakers so that’s not a problem for us.

4 Stars very good
This 19″ vizio was perfect for our needs. This item is lightweight, easy to install. The picture quality could be a bit sharper but perfect for a spare tv in kitchen or extra room. All in all, we are happy with it.
4 Stars 19″ Vizio
The TV works perfectly as described, only problem I found is that it does not support PAL cable format. Other then that it is a great TV for a small room or even to double as a computer monitor.
5 Stars One of the best bargains out there
I was one of the “holdouts”, I didn’t believe the FCC was serious this time about the DTV changeover and I waited till the last day and then some. I called them up and ordered a converter box, which was a piece of s***. It broke with 2 weeks of me owning it, trust me they are not worth your time.
So I was without TV for a few more weeks and then I was doing my weekly shopping trip to Target when I found this TV, went home and did a little research then went back and bought it. What a TV for $200. It includes all your legacy connectors like BNC, composite, component, s-video and even includes (2) HDMI connectors. All the different inputs are selectable via the remote and the buttons on the side.
Picture quality is excellent, not at the level of a Sony Bravia or a Samsung, the only other 2 brands of LCD TV’s I would even bother with, but close Don’t get me wrong, Pioneer and Sharp make excellent TV’s, but with these three you get comparable quality for a lot less. This tv has 2 stereo speakers in the back, you definitely want to get external speakers or use some kind of receiver as the sound is somewhat muffled.
Oh and for setup they include a giant, foldout poster but you don’t even need that. Unpack it, put the stand on, plug the antenna (if you are using OTA like me) plug it into the wall and follow the prompts for language and channel scanning.
As for the size I could have purchased a 32″ tv for about $500, but if you are a single person like me, no kids and rarely have people over then there is no point in getting anything bigger. I have nothing to prove to people, that is what some people out there buy huge tv’s for, to show off to other people. This sits right next to my bedstand, the 32″ crt monster is outside hooked up to the Xbox 360.
2 Stars Small Viewing Angle
I read a lot of positive reviews on this HDTV so I decided to check it out a Target. Its picture looked great, when you were standing directly in front of it, but compared to the rest of the HDTV at Target it has the worst viewing angle. It didn’t matter if you moved left, right, above or below, the picture looked very dark from every angle. I have two other LDC HDTVs (Sony & Toshiba) and neither have this problem. It is unfortunate the viewing angle is so small, I will keep looking for the right 19″ HDTV.
1 Star After 1 Week No Sound
I received the TV, installed it and after 1 week the TV lost it’s sound. I heard a loud humming noise coming from the speakers, I originally thought it was interferance so I changed locations of the TV to a different room but no luck Humming was still there. I contacted Amazon and had a new TV for my son before I could package up the old one to return it, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!
