Is anyone using this with a Computer Monitor via the HDMI output? Does it make the connection reliably from Sleep mode?

I have used the Onkyo receiver with my laptop (using an HDMI cable to the receiver) and pushed the image from the laptop to a larger monitor via the HDMI connection from the Onkyo to the monitor. Whenever my laptop has gone into sleep mode, the response I see through the Onkyo via the monitor is that the signal is unreadable or not connected and to check connections. Once I rouse the laptop back into action, the picture resumes as normal. If you still do not see a picture after rousing your computer, make sure you have the right output selected on your receiver going to the monitor. Good luck, and I hoped this helps with your problem.

I plugged in with a HDMI cable into my video card and it gave me the option to use the monitor through windows sound options. Did not have to do anything else to get that option. Sound is not so great but I love the monitor for the cost I paid a while back, under $100.

Mine works fine. Does your computer support audio output through display port?

Mine worked with power from HDMI port. I don't believe external power is required.

It works great using an HDMI cable. I haven't tried bay other method of connection. No trouble, no time, no worries. It just works. ; )

Let me tell what I am using this for. I have a new ViewSonic High Resolution Monitor (1080P) with a HMI input and have the Fosmon Smart HDMI switcher connected from my Mac Mini on Port 1 and an HP Windows 7 computer connected to Port 5 and an HDMI cable connected from the Fosmon Switcher to the ViewSonic monitor and I can manually switch between either computer by pressing 1,2,3,4 and then to 5 or as I prefer, to use the remote to press between 1 (Mac) or press 5 and switches immediately to the PC. The HDMI carries the sound as well and there is no loss of quality in picture or sound with this unit. The best bet for this purpose, hands down! Let me tell what I am using this for.

HDMI sends sound to monitor and mine has internal speakers, so it works that way. USB speakers work fine, if you don't have that kind of monitor

I have found that the display port gives the greatest picture in my experience so far (about 3 months). I have tested all 3, albeit the dvi was coming from hdmi port on my computer.

Sorry, I thought this was a different model. I have a different one (HD2VGAE2) which does not require outside power. sorry for the mix up. I have used the one I have to run a monitor and to connect to projectors and it works great but it will only do HDMI to VGA.

It works for me. I use the HDMI connections to allow for audio passthrough with one cable. Works fine for me. Didn;t notice any difference from thunderbolt to DVI connection.

Has anyone tried an HDMI connection from a computer into his receiver? I'm considering hooking up a Mac Mini to it and using media server software to send it audio and video.

Thanks for all the answers. Yes, with the VGA cable the sound works. If i use the HDMI i lose the sound.

It worked--but I hated that unit!! It was sporadic and unreliable after only a month. I retired it and bought a Sony HDMI unit for ca. $45, haven't had any problems.

I am currently using it with a cable box, ps3, laptop computer, and wireless display adapter with no issues at all. I switch between all of them multiple times daily

I use it occasionally, it feels a little cheap but has worked for the few times that I have used it for. I typically use hdmi cable for my daily use.

Hi, I took a gamble when I bought this switch and I currently have it connected similar to what you asked, monitor connected to input 1 (DVI-Female to HDMI Male adapter), lcd-tv connected to input 2, and PC connected to the output (DVI-Male to HDMI adapter).It is working fine in this manner. Hope that helps.
