IOGEAR has just released the GHDMIAS4 4-port automatic HDMI switch, which uses four of your favorite HDMI inputs and pulls them down to one output. It has automatic sensing to switch to an input when a new source is turned on, or you can use the remote with discrete buttons. The switch supports 1080p and HDMI 1.3, is HDCP-compliant, and ships now for $189.95, including a bonus 6-foot HDMI cable. All I can say is my TV only has 2 HDMI slots and I really need about 2 more. But the price point seems a bit high. Their are numerous companies that make these HDMI switches way under the $150 range, like the HM-501 5-PORT HDMI SWITCH. It comes with all of the same specs and has one more port, but I might shell out a couple extra bucks for the name. Overall seems like a nice new product from IOGear.
