The Bottom Line	The Monoprice 5x1 switcher offers more inputs for less money than its competitors, and it doesn't sacrifice on performance.	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.	The Accell UltraAV HDMI 4:1 switcher does an excellent job of juggling your HDMI sources and--in many cases--it doesn't even need AC power.	The Belkin PureAV switch delivers an easy and affordable way to add HDMI capacity to your home theater.	The Oppo HM-31 offers some nice upgrades for custom home installs, but competing models offer more inputs for less money.
