Can it work in the reverse direction? I want my PC to switch between a monitor and a HDTV.

It operates as three inputs (female) to one output (male). I'm not sure if you can "reverse" it the operate backwards. But! The three inputs is controlled by a selector so only one port is functional at any given time. So I don't believe this will work for you to use with your computer monitors. Sorry it's the best I can do.

That's up to your preference, but there are multiple hdmi ports in the back which can be used to plug in both your computer and your cable/satellite/etc. You'll be able to use one of the touch buttons on the bottom right of the monitor in order to swap between inputs.

I have the 5x1 model of this same unit, and I tried to set it up to switch my computer HDMI output between 2 different monitors. It did not work, so I would venture to say the answer is No.

Theoretically yes, and I have done it in the past. However with this unit I haven't been able to get it to work. It is a new setup and monitor though so I may be my issue.

Hi, I took a gamble when I bought this switch and I currently have it connected similar to what you asked, monitor connected to input 1 (DVI-Female to HDMI Male adapter), lcd-tv connected to input 2, and PC connected to the output (DVI-Male to HDMI adapter).It is working fine in this manner. Hope that helps.

No I don't think so, this device is to turn RCA>HDMI, and doesn't go the other way, sorry!

Yes!!! I did the same thing! Reverse the cord, meaning pug the cord in to the opposite monitor. The fourth pug is for the power and it only works one way.

If your monitor has rca in then yes. If you mean to convert rca to vga, this does the exact opposite (but you probably meant vga to rca)

I'd like to note that this can actually be a feature!! In fact - I am specifically looking for a hdmi switch that DOES NOT auto sense. Can be very useful when switch is hooked up to 2 computers and turning computers on/off.

You an try and flip the item the other way around using ryw cables. I did not fully work for me.

I haven't exactly tried it that way but I believe it would work. The way I use it amounts to the same thing. One selection enables me to display from a computer to a monitor. This computer also inputs to a projector at the same time. The other selection is set up so with the help of another switch I can replace the monitor with a computer the other direction to the projector. I think switching between two computer inputs would be a snap.

This box converts a VGA signal, such as the video monitor output of a computer, to an HDMI output. As far as I know, it is not meant to go in the reverse direction; you would need to ask the Etekcity folks about that. I am presuming you have a projector with a VGA input but not an HDMI input. It would not surprise me if there are HDMI to VGA converters available, but I have not needed one, so I have not looked for any.

I use this for my pc to 2 different tvs. It looks great i play blurays on my pc. I dont think this is what you want tho. Its not a switch its a splitter. There is nothing to switch inputs

Assume this will work as long as you follow the directions on which way to connect the directional cable. If you get it backwards it will not work.

This converts a VGA (15-pin) signal to HDMI, not the other way around. So, no - I don't think this is what you want.
