HDMI Switch 4K HDMI Splitter-Techole Aluminum Bi-Directional HDMI Switcher 2 Input 1 Output, HDMI Switch Splitter 2 x 1/1 x 2. No External Power Required, Support 4K 3D HD 1080P for Xbox PS4 Roku HDTV

This product should not have "HDMI Splitter" in the title. It is a switch, but the description implies that it can both switch and split a signal.

It works ok, but what it doesn’t say is that you need a constant power supply to it. I guess I should have figured since it doesn’t require batteries or anything.If you’re doing a 2-to-1 setup, such as two game systems into one HDMI, it won’t work unless port 1 has constant power. I had my XBox360 in port 1 and PS4 in port 2, the PS4 won’t work unless the Xbox is on.Instead I set it up with my cable box in port 1 and PS4 in port 2, since the cable box always has power. Minor inconvenience, but overall it’s ok.

I have a small, older TV in my bedroom with only one HDMI port at an awkward angle. I was tired of switching out my Chromecast and PS3 HDMI cable so I decided to give this a shot. It does exactly what I needed it to do: add an HDMI port and allow me to easily switch between the two devices. It feels more sturdy and substantial than I expected it to as well.It's worth noting it doesn't come with any cables so if you don't have a spare HDMI cable laying around to connect it to your TV, you'll need to pick one up. I got a little 1ft one and it was the perfect length. I also used command strips to mount the device to the back of my TV for a cleaner look.

'Spltter' implies this will output to two monitors at once. This will not do that. This device is a SWITCH. It performs absolutely no splitting anywhere.It is fair to say that there are a number of warnings about this device and its inability to output to more than one display at once, however I was browsing from a list of search results and this stupid thing came up.I'm willing to accept that my stupidity is primarily what failed me here and for that reason I won't return it, but this review stays until I see the word 'splitter' is taken out of the description.

I purchased this splitter for use with my television and a PlayStation Vita TV console and Nintendo Wii U console. I ran out of ports, so a splitter seemed to be the perfect solution, much better than unplugging devices every time I needed to switch. This product is simple to use: plug the two sources into one side and the output location in the other, and you're done! It can also be used to split one device to two locations, like displaying a video game or television show on two different monitors. There is a small button you press in the center of the splitter to switch between the output selections. The video quality was good on the display even though it is going through the splitter.Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone who runs out of HDMI ports on their television. I didn't find any flaws with the product. 5/5 stars.If you found this review helpful, please show some love by clicking the "Yes" button below. If not, click “No”.

This little brushed aluminum splitter is amazing for various reasons.First off, if you want to use it as a small extender it works just fine and doesn't require external power. Please do note that I only added another three feet of HDMI cable on top of the 12 foot of cable I was already running.Secondly, it's incredibly easy to set up and use. I tested it with an SNES Mini and my Dreamcast's VGA -> HDMI adapter. The little button on top lets you switch between sources and the green LED shows you which is selected. Super simple and super fast.Now, the instruction manual does in fact tell you to limit the input cable to 5 meters (about 16 feet) and the output to another 5 meters. HDMI itself can go about 50 feet normally and the reason for this difference is since this device does not take external power, any HDMI signals going through it, ESPECIALLY if you're splitting it, will get weaker. I feel that for most people this shouldn't be a problem but if you plan on running devices from different rooms you might actually run into signal integrity issues if you use this. BUT for most folks you shouldn't run into any problems.All in all I really like this little device and it suits my needs pretty well (needing to switch inputs).I did a small test of splitting output and it does a wonderful job, although I don't really have a need for this function it is nice to know that it is truly a bi-directional switch.Photos attached to show that there's no blurring or image quality lost as it passes through the device!

My TV sits flush on the wall and there is only 1 HDMI connection on the side of the TV. The rest are on the back of the TV and once it was installed on the wall, there is no reaching those 2 other HDMI connections. This device solved my problem. I had to keep switching out the HDMI cable for the DVD player and cable box and the connection was starting to wear out. Thank you for making this product! Well made and works like a charm.

Worked well for the first couple months. I reached out to customer service with regards to blemishes on my screen and terrible flickering. They disregarded it and asked me to disconnect it and try again. It went away. Now a month or so later my 60” 4K tv has terrible blue blemishes all over the screen; it’s ruined. They won’t go away even if I disconnect the device now. I have warranty on my tv and unfortunately samsung won’t honor it because I was running this device. I hope some one if higher authority can help me resolve my problem....

My TV only has a single HDMI port and I have a PS4 and cable box that both use HDMI so I bought this product so I can switch between the two devices to be used with my TV. The quality of this HDMI switch is good and it works just as advertised. This HDMI switch is easy to use as its basically plug & play and I just have to hit the button to switch between the connections. The picture quality is very clear and is maintained through this switch which is great and I have absolutely no complaints at all. This HDMI switch works perfectly for both my PS4 and TV cable box so I find this to be well worth the value of my money. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a HDMI switch to use to switch between connections.

Superb little unit, no problems, works with 4K and 1080p (as well as lower grade signals) - as a tech I can tell you if you are having issues the most likely culprit is your cables, spend the bucks and buy a good quality cable that is certified 4K and you will have no issues

This is a great switch for the price (I got it for $16). The fact that it is bi-directional is wonderful as you can use it in a two device, one monitor set up or a two monitor one device set up and change your configuration at the press of a button. The LED light indicating which one is in use is a nice touch and helps you know which device is which number.I would recommend using it with double sided tape to stick to maybe the underside of your desk as it is fairly light and a long HDMI cable may drag it around.I use it with two HD 1920x1080 monitors and do not notice any picture quality loss. I have not tested it with any 4K devices. I have also not used it for gaming so cannot speak to any issues in terms of latency that might be introduced by the switch but in my experience with day to day use as a work laptop, I have not seen anything that would indicate that there may be some latency/lag issues.

Product itself is great, and works great.Product is well made with metallic casing rather than cheap plastic which is great plus.Please note that this device is not a HDMI repeater or extension. This device to share two devices in one monitor.I have read quite some reviews with flickering screen etc.. to help these people make sure not to use lengthy cables on both ends.It's not really the device's fault if you hook up with 30ft HDMI cable and complain that screen is flickering or not showing. For those who need long cable to be installed, please search for HDMI repeater which is proper device for that.If you didn't receive faulty device this is very nice device :)

It doesn't handle the majority of devices of higher resolution but that was my fault for not understanding what I was purchasing. Their customer service team were quick to correct the issue so I would highly recommend them as a seller and also this product is good for the specifications listed in the add. It not cheap plastic but a metal case so it is solid. I just had 4k devices at a higher frequency than it would handle.
