Is there a flicker when switching from one input to another? I have tried many of these and the rest flicker.

No flicker at all for me....I used it to switch between my older Tivo and my DVD player. Recently, I upgraded my Tivo to Tivo HD, so I now have an HDMI cable for it and only have my DVD player on the switchbox. I never had any trouble with my StarTech switchbox. It's a good investment if you have non-HD components that you need to add into your configuration with your TV.

No flicker, the led light goes completely off. I've had mine for over a year - no problems.

Sorry I cant help you I never had that happen. Suggest you thoroughly read operators manual starting with input source area.

Double check your settings on the monitor. Mine didn't come with DisplayPort 1.2 enabled by default. You may be getting a 30 Hz refresh rate. Similarly, if you're using HDMI and not DisplayPort, you'll be stuck on 30 Hz not 60 Hz. I just turned mine way down and didn't notice any flicker.

i just received my converter, plugged it into my computer monitor (with HDMI) and the picture/ sound cuts in and out. The Monitor says "no input detected". i wait a few seconds and it comes back. I wonder if mine is defective?

This is a common situation and by now you've solved it but seeing that your post is dated 9/15/08, I'll give you the solution for the benefit of others who may need it. HDMI switchers (commonly 4 input, 1 out) are available for less than $50 and some of them are auto-sensing/manual units and others even have remote controls. it's a matter of preference. They all do the same job which is to allow more than one device to be connected to a display with only one HDMI input. Don't get suckered into paying too much for one because, just like cables (especially 'printer' cables), it's not necessary to spend a small fortune for them. There are poor quality as well as great quality ones out there and if you buy from a reputable dealer you'll be able to return it if doesn't work properly.

Sounds like you may just have a bad switch, I've never had that problem. I would contact the manufacturer.sorry I can't help more... :(

Never (using this monitor since 6-13). Do you have a message on the screen when this happens - "no xx input," etc.? Check cables.

Since your Xbox works is safe to rule out the switcher. My guess is you have a bad or low quality HDMI cable.

I would say a second at the most for duration. As for display flicker, I would say it resembles "slideshow" change.

I don't think the light is supposed to flicker, mine doesn't. I think yours is not working properly.

Yes, all four of mine flickered. I sent them back. I had a set of Philips LED bulbs in the same sockets and they never flickered, so I'm replacing these with another set of Philips LED bulbs. I suspect if your lights were flickering then you have voltage inconsistencies in your house (even though you didn't have them on a dimmable switch) and a bulb marked "dimmable" will probably be able to handle it without flickering.

Check and make sure you have the correct input selected by switching the input. This is a function on the monitor.

I actually have the same question. I can say that for a while I was using a HDMI switch and didn't have any difference in lag with it or a straight connection so hopefully this will be the same.

Neither of the 2 I bought "flicker", they work great. Could you elaborate on what you mean?

In my opinion, yes. This was the main reason I switched, immediate light, no flickering or warming up.

No blurry images, but there is a delay of about a second when switching inputs.
