I assumed it was a splitter… Shame on me for not reading into the details more… Well, I bought one then decided to lose it over night so I bought another one and it didn’t work as I thought… I initially bought this to get 1 cable box to two TV’s, saw the price, and realized I got what I paid for. That being said, for a switch, this is definitely a great value! Something to keep in mind (which is why I gave it 4 stars) is that it couldn’t send a constant, clear signal to a TV with a 50′ HDMI cable connection. Make sure that whatever you’re splitting is less than 10′ away 🙂
BTW: It does say it won’t split a cable box to two TV’s within the instructions… Who knew you had to use those! :S

I have purchased this HDMI splitter for switching my monitor between my two laptops when I am using both.
So far I don’t see any issue in this unit. Build quality solid and Looks good.
Also, I haven’t noticed any problem with the connection or lag. Great part, it works bi-direction and very easy to use. I am happy with my purchase and thanks to Amazon for fast delivery.

The HDMI switcher is working fine.
It is the safest choice when your equipment is up to date with today’s latest technology.
The reason is because many awesome live distributers (with picture and sound on one to four outputs at the same time) are not up to date with the latest HDCP and this causes your equipment to not work correctly or not at all!
That is the only reason I desided to go with these simple but effective switches
My switcher/distributor has no brand logo on it (by the way). Apparently it had lots of cost for the manufacturer to do so on all devices but works as it should.
Of course I was reading on this list and other lists as well here in Amazon all that tech nonsense (4K HDCP etc.) about these switchers/distributors but what they haven’t written is that these types of distributors with a switch (on top) are just switchers. They are of course a simple and good way to switch between HDMI cables without plugging and unplugging them all the time..
But there is no chip circuit inside for all these tech info they write.
I used to build switchers like that (but with RCAs or Scarts (Europe) etc.) in my younger days for pretty much same use.
The way these switchers/distributors work is that there’s the input/output HDMI (we’ll call it HDMI 1) which goes on the one side of the switch series pins (inside) connected to the main HDMI connector and the other HDMI connector (we’ll call it HDMI 2) is on the second series pins. When pressing the top button the MAIN HDMI is connected to the HDMI 2.
That is the reason that there’s no power required for this device to work and also whatever data signal your media player (DVD, PC) sends on its output (on the connected switcher) the same signal you will receive on both outputs (but not at the same time). That is the only downside with these switchers/distributors. Otherwise they’re perfect.

Ich nutze den Switch, um auf einem 1440p Monitor von AOC entweder den Dell Laptop oder die Xbox zu nutzen und schnell zwischen beiden hin und her schalten zu können – all das funktioniert gut. Das Umschalten dauert ca. 2 Sekunden. Der Monitor hat eine Auflösung von 2560×1440. Die Xbox läuft auf 1440p bei 60Hz und 36bit Farbtiefe.
Anfangs hatte ich allerdings Probleme mit dem Laptop-Signal. Ich habe extra ein paar 25cm kurze 4K HDMI Kabel von KabelDirekt dazu bestellt, weil ja durch den Splitter kürzere Kabel reichen. Das Xbox Signal hatte kein Problem mit den Kabeln, beim Laptop aber blieb der Monitor dunkel, obwohl die Kabel auch 4K und 2.0a und 2.0b Standard unterstützen und up to date sind. Erst mit den “alten” 75cm HDMI Kabeln von IBRA (ebenfalls 4K und 2.0b) lief es wieder problemlos.
Wenn also der Switch mal nicht gleich funktioniert, sollte man auf jeden Fall verschiedene/bessere Kabel testen.
Von mir eine positive Kaufempfehlung!
Update 21.7.2020:
Der Taster zum Umschalten zwischen den beiden Eingängen rastet nicht mehr ein, d. h. manchmal klappt es, aber meistens nicht.
Die genaue Funktion ist: eingerastet = Signal 1, nicht eingerastet = Signal 2.
Ich behelfe mich damit, dass ich etwas Schweres auf den Taster lege, um den eingerasteten Modus zu simulieren.

Zunächst die gute Nachricht: Der Switch beeinträchtigt nicht die Bildqualität. (Ton habe ich nicht getestet)
Jetzt das Negative:
Der Switch arbeitet nicht automatisch. Beispiel: PC an HDMI-Eingang 1 links, Raspberry an Eingang 2 rechts.
PC und Raspberry sind beide noch ausgeschaltet.
Wenn dann beim PC-Einschalten der Switch – vielleicht vom Vortag noch – auf Eingang 2 geschaltet ist, dann stellt der PC fest, dass “kein Monitor installiert” ist, fängt wie wild an zu piepsen, hängt dann fest und muss über Ein/Aus-Taster neu gestartet werden. Vorher natürlich den Switch manuell auf Eingang 1 umschalten.
Wenn nach dem erfolgreichen Start des PC das andere Gerät eingeschaltet wird – ohne vorher auf Eingang 2 umzuschalten -, dann kann bekommt man auch nach Umschalten auf HDMI-Eingang 2 kein Raspberry-Bild auf den Monitor. Auch nicht durch Hin- und Her- Umschalten.
Man muss also VOR dem Raspberry-booten den rechten Eingang 2 (bei dunklem Monitor) wählen und erst dann den Bootvorgang starten. Dann klappt das und man kann mittels Taste hin- und her umschalten.
Man muss das alles also beim manuellen Betrieb wissen und berücksichtigen.
Fazit: Wenn das Gerät kostenfrei für mich zurückgeschickt werden könnte, dann würde ich das tun.
Wenn diese Bewertung Euch weitergeholfen hat, dann würde ich mich über eine “nützlich”-Beurteilung freuen. Vielen Dank.

Der Splitter tut, was er soll.
Leider nicht für meine Absichten, aber das scheint überhaupt keiner der Switches oder Splitter zu bringen, nämlich 2 unterschiedliche Monitore so anzusteuern, daß der aktive Monitor richtig erkannt wird.
Ich wollte einen 26 Zoll FullHD- Monitor zum Gamen und einen älteren 22 Zoll 1680×1050- Monitor zum Arbeiten an meinem Highend- Gaming- Notebook anbringen. Dabei übersah ich schon mal, daß der Switch nur 1 Gerät ansteuern kann, da per Knopf umgeschaltet wird. Gut, mein Fehler. Bei dem Preis ist auch zu verschmerzen, daß ich nicht vorher herausfinden konnte, ob das Gaming- Notebook überhaupt 2 unterschiedliche Monitore gleichzeitig betreiben kann. (Was ja wegen des Umschaltknopfes sowieso nicht funktioniert.)
Irritierend ist aber, daß Windows 10 sich auf die Größe des zuerst angeschalteten Monitors einschießt und das auch nicht mehr geändert werden kann, ohne den gewünschten Monitor vom Switch abzustöpseln und direkt ans Notebook anzuschließen.
Habe ich also zuerst den FullHD- Monitor aktiviert und schalte um, bringt der kleinere Monitor eine Auflösung von 1920x 1200 (ich wußte gar nicht, daß das geht, wenn maximal 1680x 1050 dargestellt werden können) und umgekehrt.
Inzwischen weiß ich, das auch andre Switches (selbst welche mit gleichzeitiger Darstellung an 2 Monitoren, ohne Umschalter) nur identische Monitore gleichzeitig darstellen können. Also Fehlkauf. Rücksendung lohnt nicht, also wird das Teil erstmal zum Fundus der anderen Zubehörteile hinzugesellt.

So I’ve got to the stage where I’ve run out of ports on me telly. Recent addition of Switch dock has tipped me over the top and needed to add a switch. I have had (still do) ‘remote multi 4way powered splitter switches’ before and whilst they worked for some devices, found very glitchy with some inputs (Like Ps4) and i wanted something a bit more less frills that just works and it does just that. Well made, been using for a fair while now and its never let me down. I’ve positioned mine on one of the shelf’s and tacked down with some double sided tape. If i was using on other telly, i would prob have directly behind the tv,, but obv wherever you put it, needs to keep this quite accessible. No real negatives on this as still serving me well. Cant say i have experienced any picture loss, but I’m not 4k on anything either. I would deffo buy this again

Firstly, I must clarify that this product works exactly as intended, as an HDMI switch, if the the input sources both have a continuous supply of power.
In my case, however, I was trying to use this product to switch between my PC for use as a 2nd monitor and my Nintendo Switch. I found that whenever my switch was off, both the input lights would turn off and even though I was using my PC on the monitor, it would stop supplying the signal.
I further tested this by removing the 2nd HDMI cable (from the Nintendo Switch) from the switch and it turns out that it does not permit a 1-to-1 connection via the switch.
Unfortunately this renders the product useless for me, which is a shame as it seemed to work well.
Edit: I switched the cables from the Nintendo Switch and the PC around and it seems to work fine now. I’m not entirely sure why, but at least it’s working.

Good if your intention is just for pure split input purpose. You won’t be able to set your Xbox one X to 4k HDR, it will lose signal to the tv.

I bought this splitter as I was adding another games console to our TV that pushed it up to 4 HDMI connections (the TV comes with 3) and I didn’t want a complicated box that needed USB power. This little silver box does the trick perfectly with a simple push button to switch between sources.
However do note that it does not come with any kind of cables, so to plug in two pieces of equipment you will need 3 HDMI cables. I either missed this or it wasn’t noted and had to go back out and buy another. So as long as you are prepared with all the cables you need it will do the job nicely.

I purchased this HDMi mainly for switching my monitor between my PC and my laptop while I am suing both at the same time in my home.
The idea is simple and easy, 2 inputs one output.
Connect your laptop to one of the inputs and my PC to the second input and then connect the output to my screen and using a push button switch, easily switch between both.
It will be very helpful for someone has limited HDMI inputs in his TV as well , the modern TVs has a lot.

I use this to split my computer between my monitor and TV, so I can use one for work and the other for movies. Honestly, it works really well. I have mounted it to the bottom of my shelf, one quick press and it swaps over. Sometimes it doesn’t register the button properly but a simple press or two will fix it.
In case any gamers were wondering, I have not noticed ANY input lag. I play Xbox games through an internal capture card on my PC as well as PC games, I have not had any issues that I was expecting.
I am very strongly considering ordering a second one for my consoles.

Don’t be fooled by the title and the description. You cannot have two screens sharing an image (or images) from this device. It will only SWITCH between the two screens. Device packaging is also very cheap and leaves much to be desired. Device worked well enough as the in-box instructions describe (which is does mention it cannot share the image to two screens).
