Since HDMI is digital, there will be no image degradation. There are two ways this can give you problems, though, signal deterioration and non-compliance to newer standards.

Signal degradation will only matter if you intend to use settings that demand very high bandwidth, such as 4k or 120hz.

Compliance means that, if you need some feature that is supported only in HDMI 1.X, than you need your switch to be 1.X or above. For instance, 1080p120 is only mandatory from 1.4b and above, so if you intend to use, every piece of hardware nvolved needs to comply.

Finally, the ideal solution would be to buy a quality switch that complies with the newer standards.
