Q: QuestionWill it switch fire stick &blueray player on my new Samsung 65 inch series 7 tv

Asked 5 years ago by joep.

• A:Answer No, this is only a splinter that takes 1 output from a device (like a computer or Blu-Ray player), and sends the signal to 2 different TVs/Monitors. You'd need an HDMI selector/switch to switch between output devices.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Insignia™ - 3-Port HDMI Switch with 4K 60Hz and HDR Pass-Through - Black

    User rating, 4.62 out of 5 stars with 2440 reviews.

Q: QuestionIm looking to use with laptop. will it work to take laptop HDMI output and extend to (2) external monitors that will show separate screens?

Asked 5 years ago by SAO.

• A:Answer No, this will just give you two identical streams. If your computer only has one video output, you can always add on an external video card.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    StarTech.com - External Video Adapter - Black

Q: QuestionWe bought this device to use for two tvs. I see others have had success but for us it did not work on one tv. Any advice?

Asked 5 years ago by sissy.

• A:Answer Break it down for testing. - test each HDMI cable to ensure it works - test AC outlet to ensure you have power - use 2 tested cables to see if it works thru Port 1 of the splitter - move tested cable from Port 1 of the splitter to Port 2 to see if it works I nothing works or only 1 Port works, your splitter is BAD.

Q: QuestionCan I use this to make my desktop split form 1 monitor to 2 monitors ? My desktop only have 1 HDMI output port .

Asked 5 years ago by Louis.

• A:Answer This is a video signal splitter, so it takes a single input signal and displays that same video on two different hdmi outputs. If you connected it to your laptop you would essentially get to display that single output on two screens. It does not allow you to split or add two different external screens to your laptop.

Q: QuestionI need to extend my computer screen to two extra monitors for a total of 3 independent screens. Is that possible with this splitter? If not, what kind of product should I look for?

Asked 5 years ago by btb3.

• A:Answer You can't run two extra screens with a single 2-output splitter. With a 2-output splitter, you run your original input signal into it, and then one of the outputs goes to your original screen, and the 2nd output goes to one extra screen. I don't know if anyone makes a 3- or 4-output splitter. You could buy two 2-output splitters, and daisy-chain them together to get two extra screens. In other words, one of the outputs from #1 splitter goes to the input of the #2 splitter. I have done this and it works but not with the Best Buy 2-output splitters.

Q: QuestionWill this allow me to use a dual-monitor setup with an HDMI adapter to a laptop (Dell XPS 13)? I am trying to use them as separate screens, not duplicating screens. The adapter is HDMI to mini display port.

Asked 6 years ago by Help.

• A:Answer It will not work because you are trying to treat your laptop PC as a monitor. The HDMI port on your laptop PC is to broadcast your video signal, not to receive and display the video signal.
