boykster:
as much as I dig monoprice.com, I wouldn't trust my component video switching to that box.  component video, especially HD requires very high bandwidth to not introduce any artifacts or video degradation. 

I would recommend a 4x1 switch from Inday

excellent product, good, but not bargain price.  good quality cables CAN be inexpensively built, switches cannot.

 :dunno

ChadTower:

He's working off a 3 figure price range for the whole setup.  Stuff like that just isn't in the region he's sitting in.  The TV is "free" and he's using his existing receiver with a $20 component switcher... that should all still be a substantial improvement over what he has said he had.

sure, but a $120 component video switch is cheaper than a $400 AVR (like the onkyo he posted).  I'm just saying I wouldn't trust my video with a $30 component video switch, unless I knew I could return it no questions asked. 

It's not like I suggested he go out and buy a $4000 Extron matrix distribution switch.....

ChadTower:

You may as well have, though, since he already has the functionality in his passive switcher.  It's not ideal but it does the job in his price range.

boykster:
I'm still thinking his best investment would be that Onkyo TX-SR605 AVR.  Lots of inputs, switches HDMI, crossconverts to HDMI, etc.  It even just squeaks into his $300-400 budget (at $399) and will take care of his major issues.
