3. Apogee HDMI 3x1 Mini Switcher
Editors' rating: 8.3
The good: Excellent design with a small footprint; doesn't need external power supply; includes an external IR receiver; handles 1080p video and high-resolution audio.
The bad: Only three HDMI inputs; lacks custom-installer-friendly features seen on some more expensive switchers.
The bottom line: The Apogee HDMI 3x1 Mini HD Digital Switcher's power-free design and affordable price tag puts it at the top of HDMI switcher heap--so long as you can live with just three inputs.
