avedio links HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 Out [w/ 4 Ft Hdmi Cable]Not for Extended Display-Mirror Same Screen Only, 4K 1x2 HDMI Splitter 1 to 2 for 3D 1080P@60Hz, Copy 1 Source to 2 Displays at The Same Time

Quality made and works great

I purchased this unit to add an additional monitor to my computer. What I learned is in order to have dual monitors, there needs to have two video outputs coming from the computer. I had always thought the single HDMI should produce a split screen across two separate monitors. Apparently, that is not the case. After installing this unit between my computer and the monitors, this device did feed the screen to both screens. However, Windows or Mac did not detect this device in order to split the screen into two monitors. The view was identical for both screens for the Windows PC. And the device did not display anything on the MAC. I do not recommend this device if you are looking to split your computer screen image into dual monitors. This is an excellent device if you want to duplicate a single image on to two screens. Hope that helps.

Worked great for about six hours. I admit was fantastic while it worked for two different size screens without problems. But, then i died and i had to go back to one screen! Now that it has been unplugged overnight, it works again. I checked the computer out, and it is 1080p at 60 hertz, and both my TVs are a 75-inch Toshiba Fire TV 4k and an Insignia 43-inch 4k Fire TV, which should both work fine with 1080p input, like from older DVDs and often the internet sites. I set all devices to 60 hertz prior, so that should not be an issue again. I am retesting (my second use of the device to see and will update this review if it decides to last longer without giving a blank screen to both TVs (no input). This time it did not die, so I am upping it to a four-star since it is handy. If it dies, unplug it and try again later. Also, disable the computer mode on your TV, which should not make a difference, but may have.

Does as intended. There is no noticeable delay if you are playing games. I use it on my xbox and it did take away 4k 120 but it did say 4k 60 so no hate there. It did take away adobe vision and a few other thing but other wise there isnt much to complain about so awesome product in my book.

I purchased this HDMI splitter to use with a Karaoke setup. The setup went in to use once a week beginning in February of 2025. There were three weeks where we ran karaoke twice. I'm very disciplined and careful with my gear. Setup and teardown is the same each week, with devices and cables being disassembled and stowed in organized pockets in the karaoke backpack, audience display TV gig bag, or singer display gig bag. It's like clockwork. The device is small and lightweight. It's generally recognized immediately by the laptop and quickly starts sending the source signal to both outputs. On occasion, the laptop would not recognize the splitter. I narrowed it down to when I had powered up the splitter and destination displays before plugging the source HDMI cable between the laptop and splitter. On the 38th setup for a Halloween 2025 show, this device failed to be recognized by the laptop. After many attempts of disconnecting, reconnecting, unplugging, plugging, etc., I gave up. A backup HDMI splitter worked fine. On one hand, that rounds out to a cost of roughly $0.75 per use which is guess isn't bad. On the other hand, it would have been nice for it to last at least a year if not two. I think that running this model of karaoke where the entire kit is setup and torn down each session is probably putting the avedio links HDMI Splitter to an extreme test, as usually these devices are set up and left alone. Connecting, powering, disconnecting and stowing over and over is probably not the typical use case. Considering that, I'll give the splitter a middle-of-the-road 3-stars. It worked as needed for the better part of a year but simply failed without any signs that it was giving out. For the typical user, I bet it would work just fine. For users that need a durable device that can endure regular assembly and disassembly, this might not be right HDMI splitter for you. Pros: Easy to use Small Lightweight Dedicated power cable Cons: Occasional connection issues Failed without leading symptoms

I've got a fairly complicated entertainment set up. I've got a monitor and a TV, and I've got an HDMI switch with three game consoles connected to it: the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Switch. (I've also got an Xbox One X which I use as set top box, which will have to go to a new HDMI switch as my TV only has two HDMI inputs. Neither here nor there for this product :) ) Occasionally I may have the desire to play games on the smaller computer monitor so I can parse the interactive content more easily without it giving me a headache, me being autistic and everything :-) but then I may have the desire to watch Blu-rays and DVDs on my PS3 and Xbox 360 respectively, on my larger TV. You probably know that physically changing connections out too often can wear out the connectors; this is no different with HDMI! So I wish to preserve my connectors as much as possible, and this product that I am reviewing now by avedio links definitely helps out in that regard. Installation couldn't be simpler! I just plug the HDMI out of my HDMI switch into the input of this "one in, two out" splitter - then connect my computer monitor with a rare HDMI input into the first HDMI out of the splitter, and the TV into the second HDMI out of the splitter! (The default input of the monitor, that my computer generates, is a DVI-D, but that's neither here nor there for this device :-) ) So, the colors are strong, the audio is nice and loud - as though I were passing a straight HDMI signal through! And there's really no lag to speak of - but when both my outputs are on the same time, there is a TINY, less than 1/10 of a second lag between the devices, enough that I can hear it but not see it, and I can't tell which device is behind. But I don't see a scenario where I have both outputs on at the same time for a long time, anyway. Good show, avedio links! I'll be getting another to go with my secondary monitor when I get a new games console to hook up to it within the next couple weeks or so. I'll report back if, as has happened tragically to a few of my fellow reviewers, the device should fail in a few months. But I doubt it will - seems well-made. Just remember to provide power - get a USB AC Wall Adapter at the same time, so the splitter can pump the signal to both of your outputs as seamlessly as possible! PS(3)!!! :) When using this splitter and when playing Blu-rays on the PS3, I think the automatic frequency detection gets a little wonky - so my monitor by default displayed an Out of Range error when I got into the video content. So, I just went into Settings -> Video Settings -> 1080p 24Hz Output (HDMI) -> Change it from Automatic to Off. There should be no other ill effects from playing it either on the monitor or TV going forward. (I also changed the BD/DVD Video Output Format (HDMI) from Automatic to RGB, which I think is superfluous as the other option has to do with Component output which this splitter of course doesn't do :) )

This product does exactly what it’s advertising; it sends a mirrored video signal to two places. But beware, it does NOT allow you to use the second signal destination as a separate monitor. I made that mistake when I purchased this. That said, my misunderstanding does not qualify this as a bad product.

In 2nd day of use so far. Just as a first use trial, I had first HDMI cable OUT going to an HP Compaq 2105tm monitor and 2nd HDMI cable OUT going to an Elgato CamLink HDMI plugged into a Windows 10 PC running OBS Software. It all worked initially. Didn't need to install any drivers or anything. For the monitor the onscreen signal appeared literally instantaneously. For the cable going to the Elgato CamLink HDMI Windows 10 PC there was a little delay at first, and I think it was while the device setup was being recognized by windows and the driver(s) were being auto-installed. It was just a few seconds. No problem. I thought everything was fine. While I made some settings adjustments to my camera & scene I noticed one of the monitors wasn't displaying anymore. I unplugged then re-plugged the HDMI cables. Nothing. I repeated but switched swapping which cable went into which HDMI port on the splitter. That worked. Fine. For awhile. Then the signal stopped. Again. This happened 3 or 4 times over a span of about an hour and a half. And then.... the output signal to direct-to-monitor would not produce signal displayed onscreen, regardless of unplugging and replugging, switching swapping cables, rebooting PC, turning monitor(s) off & restarting, etc, etc... I tried everything I could possibly conceive of. I have no idea why it was the cable leading direct to the monitor & not the one leading to the OBS Elgato CamLink HDMI that was being so stubborn. If you ask me, my logic tells me that THAT's the one that seems like it would be the more stable and stronger and of all things SIMPLER connection of the two since it was just a straight shot, a direct route, no multiple layers or levels of devices & technologies etc etc.... but that's not how it turned out. INSTEAD, despite all of that, after 2 or 3 HOURS of troubleshooting this dilemna, the Elgato CamLink -to- OBS HDMI-passthru held up its end of the deal come hell or highwater that much I do know. By the way, I have (3) three of the HP Compaq 2105tm monitors, and I so also tried swapping out from the original one to one of the others to try to tweak or reset the firmware of the switcher or whatever, etc etc..Same Result. Ineffective. I have an LG 4K newer monitor with another PC system setup elsewhere that I DID NOT try this on yet. It's larger and not as portable as the others and, frankly, it's reserved for other usage and was not intended to be moved/transported for this purpose. So I hadn't tried it yet as that would involve a lot of disconnecting/unplugging, & lugging from/to etc etc...I just hadn't escalated to that final resort option, and actually don't look forward to it, I shouldn't have to IMHO. So, that's my review :: 3 STARS :: I can't say it didn't work, at all. It did. And the output was very good too. The signal was same as previous direct single cable signal, indistinguishable as far as I can recall. Obviously, your results may and probably will vary from mine, since was using a scheme more involved than simply splitting a signal in the more usual typical mainstream output way it goes.
