Monoprice 4x2 PRO HDMI Switch

Looks like Monoprice is releasing a followup to the 4x2 switch they've been offering for a year now, though I can't tell if it's a matrix switch by the description. The Monoprice part number is 4920, and it's called the "4X2 PRO Series HDMI Powered Switch w/ Remote Controller (1.2b version)". No details at all on their website, but the price is the same as the previous 4x2 matrix switch.

Comments or thoughts? I may try this thing out and see if it fixes my non-anamorphic detection issues with my Oppo DV-980H. I don't need matrix switching, but it would be great if this thing solved all the problems of the previous switch AND was full matrix.

Well, they released the specs and I'm not really sure why they call it "Pro":

HDMI 1.2b compliant
HDCP compliant
Supports DTS, DOlby, 7.1-Channel surround sound
Gold plated contacts for corrosion resistance
IR Remote Control included
Power supply included.
Display mirroring (not matrix)



The enclosure looks nice (to some perhaps... it's a bit gaudy for me), but no pro features I can see. Not even HDMI 1.3. Pretty disappointing. Guess I'll stick with the 4x2 matrix I have now until something better comes along.
