Didn’t work to well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This splitter did not work to well with my set up. It might depend on what you want to do with your system
No, I would not recommend this to a friendExpensive waste
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I also got sucked in hoping for something that will work. The picture does split but no sound. My wife is furious over the waste after I crawled under the crawlspace running the extra HDMI cable only to end up not being able to use the TV in the kitchen. Save yourself the expense and aggravation and avoid this. Trying to contact the company is a joke. You end up with someone in a third world country.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot quite what I hoped for.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product does work, but the HDR part seems to be misleading, both the displays have to be HDR to be recognized as HDR, which isn't the case.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBest Buy Chat Agent Misled Me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased and returned. My work laptop only has one HDMI; I wanted to connect it to two monitors I purchased. The chat agent told me this was the product I needed. Well, it did work. However, the laptop only recognized one of the monitors...I could not get dual, unique images on each monitor. Each monitor displayed the same image. I ended up purchasing a j5create USB 3.0 to dual HDMI multi-monitor adapter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDid not work as expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately this splitter cannot independently transmit 4k, instead it limits the transmission of all connections to the lowest resolution device connected. So if you have a 4k TV and a 1080p TV the transmission to the 4k TV will be limited to 1080p regardless of the source resolution.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Weak alternative to other pass-through products. Not really a traditional "splitter."
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDisappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this because I wanted to pair my projector up with my sound bar. Connected everything per the instructions but could not get this to split the audio and video. Tried several different combinations and settings but nothing worked. Ended up returning this.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Splitter cuts out and back on and repeats consistently. Maybe a faulty unit. I’ll try another one

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It didn't work. We tried everything. It probably has to do with the TV's being 4k, who knows. It just didn't work for us.

Works for a bit then it doesn’t.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit works great when you plug it in. Then eventually it stops working. The TV it’s hooked up to now flashes black and then the live feed. I’ve returned two with this exact same issue and I’m on my third and final try. Disappointing because it would be great if this product did what it claims to do.

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this to multitask and teach while at work. I only had it 8 months!!!!! Its too expensive to cut out so soon. I replaces all my cords ad it still don’t work! Can’t believe best buy doesn’t offer a protection plan for it.
