The very first one I bought. one in, three out. The screens carry artifacts when I use it that do not appear direct linked, or when I use the new unit I have.
HD DVD and Blu Ray devices reveal a lot as they put out about the purest HDMI fed HI Def picture available at this time. Piping their signal through that switch is the saddest excuse for an electronic product I have ever seen. It's a damned shame that we cannot sue folks like that, as was once possible.

Sue the retailer you bought the piece of Chinese crap from.
Fry's Electronics. They would settle for court costs, the loss I suffered on the item, plus a small inconvenience "fee".
Or fight it, and end up with the same result. It is likely a poorly shielded layout or the like, or the supply feeding it is sad.
Bad design either way. It shouldn't require a suit though. These stores should know what they are selling, and be responsible for it when it sucks. Being required to bring the courts into it is an unneeded waste. There should be a law about guarantees and warranties.
Speaking of stupid behavior, the Wall-e game demo for the PS3 is set to about 20dB higher audio volume level than the XMB interface or any other title made for the PS3, so it damn near blows your speakers out when the intro comes up. I contacted Disney, and they pointed me to the game author's site. No reply yet to the email I sent them, referring to the guy that set that volume level as being about as incompetent a programmer as it gets. Still waiting for the reply. They are damned lucky my speakers are high quality and took the transient.
