I have 4 HDMI devices but have only 3 HDMI inputs on my LG tv. This switch allows me to share one of the three HDMI tv ports with up to three separate devices. I connected the switch to one of the three HDMI inputs on the TV using an HDMI cable. I then plugged my ROKU and PlayStation5 into the input side of this switch. (I have one extra input port on the switch left unused. See photo.) Now I can choose which of these two devices to use (Roku or PlayStation5) without having to switch cables. I can choose between the two plugged-in devices by pressing a button on the switch, or using the included remote to choose the device. OR I can use the automatic switching mode on the device which figures out which device is in use and connects automatically when it’s turned on. **That is a great feature that not all of these types of switches have. This switch does NOT require batteries, which is a plus. Nor does it require power from a wall outlet or USB, so there is no additional power plug required. It seems to be powered by each device individually through the HDMI cable. The remote does require 1 AAA battery if you choose to use it. To summarize, this switch works well. If your needs are like mine, it will do everything you will need. Read more
So I have a monitor in my room that I was barely using, except for the occasional work-from-home days. So I decided to turn the monitor into a TV too. I wanted to have my Nintendo Switch dock, Roku streaming stick and computer plugged into the monitor without needing to be unplugging cables everytime I wanted to use one of them. (3 In - 1 Out). I bought this adapter and its been great so far in this past few weeks. It doesn't need to be connected to an outlet. It comes with a remote control to switch between HDMI inputs, but its not really necessary because it detects which one we are using at the time. I used a strong doble-sided tape on the bottom of the adapter and put the adapter under my table. I didn't want to be bothered and see the cables and adapter on top of the table. Recommendation: Do not use long HDMI cables with this. I had connected a very long cable from the adapter to the monitor and my Roku streaming stick started giving me an error because of it. I changed my HDMI cables to 4ft cables and everything works great and looks even better picture/motion quality wise. Read more
This splitter works well. I have my Switch, Switch 2 and Raspberry Pi all plugged into it and all display well. I wanted a splitter that didn't need to be powered and this one does the job! Read more
Don’t like the fact you have to push the button to switch over to a different hdmi. Read more
Very useful gadget. Allows me to use one monitor with two sources (Mac computer and iPad) and switch between them as needed. Works very well. I do not notice any deterioration of video quality from either source. Push-button switch seems to be good quality, firm feel. Good item, reasonable price. Read more
This is awesome! I have a very few comforts in life, but my TV system is number one. I have my living room TV hooked up to my basement TV and my kitchen TV so I never have to miss a minute of a show. This really helps between the two system systems I have. I can use one or the other at the touch of a button. Read more
Suddenly stopped working after 6 months. Used it daily (all 3 ports) for several hours per day, on average. Also experienced the issue others reported about the screen just going black for a few seconds, then coming back. Happened a few times per week on average. UPDATE (12/10/25): Updating my ranking to 3 stars for now. It started working again, not sure how/why. The company messaged me, and offered a free replacement. So, I like the company at least. They also offered advice on how to get it working again after it stops working. (Which basically boils down to unplugging everything, and then plugging in two inputs that are currently powered to ensure the device has enough power to operate.). So, we'll see how it goes from here. FYI: Despite my review, I did buy two more of these (since they're relatively inexpensive), just to make sure I have a working unit when needed. There's not much else on the market, it seems, that offers this same functionality without also having the same complaints/issues, so we'll see how things go over the next several months, now that I have two backup units. That's what I get for buying a monitor with only 1 HDMI input. 🙂 Read more
AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY. This quiet little hero has been living in my home for over a year now. He isn’t loud. He doesn’t make a sound. And that is exactly the point. Gone are the days of a huffy pre-teen suffering the indignity of having to swap HDMI cables because the TV didn’t have enough ports for all his gaming devices. I’ll be honest, I didn’t even read the setup instructions. That’s how easy it was. I plugged it in, plugged in his devices, and we were done. Switching between devices is as simple as pressing a button. Just pushing a button, and the indicator light tells you which he's using. It responds quickly, and the picture quality is exactly the same as a direct connection. There have been zero connectivity issues. This thing just quietly does its job. The value for the money is fantastic. It’s been in use for a long time now, doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, without complaint. If it ever decided to stop working, I would happily replace it with the exact same model. If you or someone you love has been personally victimized by a lack of HDMI ports, this is the solution.
