Recommendations: Inexpensive HDMI switcher?
Looking to pick up a 3-to-1 or 4-to-1 HDMI switcher. I purchased an inexpensive 32" LCD TV last year, and chose a model with 2 HDMI inputs. Now I have three HDMI-capable devices.
One option is to wait until Black Friday to buy a new (larger) television, but that may not be in the budget.
Any recommendations on an inexpensive HDMI switcher? I've seen some online that are auto-switching and include a remote for $20 or less. Anyone have any experience with the cheap ones, or a specific recommendation?
Thanks!

I've been using the 5-1 from Monoprice for several years. Never given me a problem. And works seamlessly. I installed and than sync'd with my harmony remote and wife/kids didn't even realize I had added.

Yea...that looks like it, but I'm sure mine is an earlier model...it is several years old now...works great!

Oh well, decided it was a good time to swap the 32" 720p set for a 46" 1080p set that has 3 HDMI inputs.
Concluded that $460 for the 46" was a good investment for the future, and about as good as anything else I might see on Black Friday.
Of course, now that I've ordered the TV, I also find a 3-to-1 HDMI switcher that includes 3 HDMI cables for $12 (after coupon code):
