The problem with many of today’s HDTVs, monitors, and other displays comes down to ports – namely, that there are too few for all your myriad devices. Of course, you have a Blu-ray player, some sort of smart-TV something (Roku, Apple TV, etc.), maybe a video game console (or four), and other HDMI devices.
But, you only have two, maybe four ports on your TV. Enter the HDMI splitter, an inexpensive but high-quality way to expand your ports to two, four, eight or even sixteen devices. Plus, HDMI ports also help reduce the cable rat’s nest that so often lurks behind today’s entertainment centers. It’s a win-win.
And, worry not – the HDMI splitters on our list incorporate many of the latest audio and video technologies, including 4K resolution and 3D video, without losing quality or causing picture delay. Without a doubt, they’re one of the best-bang-for-your-buck additions to your home theater or office. And here are 25 of the best:
