Title: Recommended HDMI Splitter
Post by: SlasherNES on July 02, 2013, 12:09:39 PM
Hey guys, would anyone be able to recommend a GOOD and AFFORDABLE HDMI splitter for a 46inch Samsung LED tv? It only has two HDMI ports and I need two more for more gaming and BD player. Thanks!

you could save one plug by playing your blu-rays on a PS3 ;). but otherwise i don't know much about HDMI splitters, i'm sure someone will chime in with a useful suggestion.

Noise didn't say exactly what kind they were but i would assume if they have them at Target on the cheap they should be a bit more prevalent now.

Best of luck.

The ones we have at work now are TRUlink HDMI Selector Switch from CablesToGo.

4-Port Switch is $95, 6-Port Switch is $110. Never said they were cheap, but they work really well. Anything more than 2-Port and you're looking to pay a decent amount.

Good grief, $95 for a 4-way splitter?  Makes me glad I bought mine at RadioShack before the one near me closed down.  I got a 4-way Auvio splitter there for around $40.  This one, in fact:

I still use it daily, and it works reasonably well.  Occasionally the video won't sync properly, or it will detect 480p instead of 720p or 1080p, but that's usually just a matter of switching to a different input and back again to force a refresh.  I've been pleased with it overall.
