    What is a HDMI switch used for?

    Recently some guy on social media ask us what is a hdmi switch? What is a HDMI switch used for? Here we are going to explain what is it?

    We have more connected gadgets than ever before, but our TVs offer only so many HDMI ports. That could be a problem if you want to connect all of your game consoles and streaming devices. Oh, sure, you could get up and play musical wires every time you want to switch an input, but that’s no way to live. Instead, consider investing in an HDMI switcher. These high-tech splitters route all of your HDMI devices through a single box (or dongle) and then funnel them to your TV, giving you up to four extra HDMI ports.

    If you want to connect all of your game consoles and streaming devices to a single TV, consider investing in an HDMI switcher.

    Review of the Koopman DEX station.

    Disclaimer: I received a review sample from Koopman.

    First all here are the pictures when I first received the package and opened the box.

    The hub features:

    3 USB 3.1 ports

    1 HDMI 2.0 port (supports up to 4K @ 60HZ)

    1 USB-c charging port (claims it supports up to 100W) Cannot confirm

     

    This may not be the companies fault at all and most likely was damaged during shipping however the packaging does not feel premium at all. The USB-C cable that came with the hub also fell out of its place.

     

    However the less than ideal packaging is not that big of a deal because none the items are delicate enough to be damage by things shown in the picture. However it does take away from the presentation points.

     

    Next is the USB-C cable that is included is pretty thick. The cable seems pretty durable and surprisingly flexible, however I wish it would be longer. With the tape measure I had the cable measured at about six inches (around 15 cm). They could improve the device by giving it a longer cable.

     

    The build quality is pretty average. Overall it is pretty decent however some of the edges feel unrefined and sometimes sharp. However the rubber feet on the bottom of the hub is a nice touch.

     

    Other users complained that it gets quite hot during use however that should be expected and the heat isn’t even that bad.

     

    I think the main benefit of this USB-C hub over the other 5 in 1 USB-C hubs is that you are still able to charge with the hub because of its inclusion of another USB-C port.

     

    At the time of this post, the Koopman DEX station is $31.99 on amazon.

     

    TL;DR

    If you need a cheap USB-C hub that also supports charging get this. However if you need a USB-C hub just for more ports then there are cheaper options.
