Good HDMI splitter if this fits your needs

I actually picked this up, thinking it was a way to get 2 HDMI devices (xbox,playstation,roku,etc) into 1 HDMI port on the back of my tv. Space is so limited that an automatic switch for HDMI would be helpful. But, I didn’t fully read I guess and this is exactly the OPPOSITE function. This takes ONE HDMI signal (i.e TV, Roku,laptop,blu ray, etc.), and projects it out into 2 sources. This is different than say taking your laptop screen and projecting it onto 2 different monitors, effectively making the 2 monitors 1 large display. This takes your source image and just projects the same thing to 2 monitors or whatever 2 sources you pick.
In the box you have the HDMI splitter, a usb c to usb power cord, a usb power block for a wall outlet, and a few instruction manuals. It also includes 2 self adhesive strips if you wish to mount this on a wall or the back of a device.
For my example I was able to take my Roku Ultra player, and connect it to two 24” tvs. The Insignia 2 output HDMI splitter worked flawlessly. The back of the box has an “input” spot which I connected the Roku HDMI cord. And then I was able to run 2 additional HDMI cords into the “output” spots marked on the back of the splitter and run those cords to the back of the 2 tvs. As long as you have everything plugged in and powered on, you are good to go. The Insignia splitter was able to simulate the image and sound perfectly on both devices without any lag or diminishing sound quality.
Now while this worked, in my opinion it had limited uses. In what case would you need the same picture on multiple devices? I guess if you were giving a presentation in a room that had multiple screens you could use this, or if you had a camera feed from your home security and you wanted to have it show up on multiple screens throughout your place, although you would have to have some long HDMI cords. So while I’m sure this has its uses, it just seems limited to me.

Two Displays for the Price Of One HDMI Splitter

There’s not a lot to say about the Insignia 2-Output HDMI Splitter, if you set it up correctly it will work. There’s no switch on the unit to swap outputs back and forth, it just displays your source on two different outputs. In the box is the splitter, a 6 foot USB-A to USB-C cable, an AC Adapter, and a minimal instruction/”legalese” pamphlet. On the splitter you have a red LED on the front and on the back is the Source HDMI port, two output HDMI ports, and the USB-C power input. You can mount the splitter unit on a wall or cabinet with two pieces of enclosed 3M Double sided tape strips or there’s mounting slots but no hardware is enclosed so you’ll need to provide your own.
Once I had it setup the PC was able to output to both monitors at once, which was neat and I could see this being handy for a presentation in class or at work perhaps. I don’t see much practicality in a home setting though, perhaps if you wanted to play split screen games on two separate TVs. There’s nothing much else to say about it, if you set it up correctly then it just works. I kind of feel like it should have a switch to swap from one output to another but its a minor quibble honestly.

Having an HDMI splitter is something most people will need at one point or another. For those with some older TVs, they generally will only have 1-3 HDMI ports and those can fill up really quickly. If you have a DVD/Blu-Ray player, gaming console or streaming device, that can chew up all those ports, and more, really quickly.
While there are many splitters out there, you're pretty much fine with picking any one and you should be fine. The one thing you probably want to pay attention to is the number of splitters/ports, your switch can handle as well as what resolution the splitter can handle.
Included in the package is the splitter box, USB-A to USB-C power cable and USB wall adapter as well as a couple double sided tape pieces should you opt to hang/mount this somewhere. Pretty clean looking. The front just has a LED to show if the unit is powered on and the cable connect in the rear of the unit. There are mounting studs on the bottom of the unit which gives you another mounting option aside from the double sided tape.
I have my unit hooked up to my TV at the 1 position on my HDMI ports. I use this port for both my AppleTV and Playstation so I can simply swap between the two whenever without taking up an additional port.

Good standard HDMI splitter

Insignia has made an easy to use, small, basic HDMI splitter for dual outputs. If what you want is to display a cable box, Roku, Chromecast, Fire Stick, Playstation, Xbox, Switch, PC, Laptop or other HDMI input, you can output that device to two external TVs or monitors.
In the box you get the splitter, USBA to USBC power cable, USB power brick, and double sided sticky tape to mount the splitter device anywhere you find convenient. The device itself also has mounting holes if you would like to mount the device more permanently.
I already have plans to have my next fight night for MMA or even boxing matches shown from my Google Chromecast device. I would have a projector displaying in 1080p to the outside and then display a second output to my 4k television on the inside. Watching the upcoming FIFA World cup with a viewing party would also be an ideal situation to have this splitter.
As an important note, it appears that this device will downscale per the instruction booklet that comes in the box. This device is ideal to output to a 4k device and 1080p.

Insignia HDMI 2-Output Splitter

I have a video surveillance system in another room of the house connected to a television, it’s installed on the other side of the wall from my kitchen. I’d like to be able to see the camera feed from the kitchen. It’s a 4K camera system so I wanted to retain the highest picture quality. I have a 4K VESA compatible computer monitor to mount on the wall in the kitchen with an HDMI input so I selected this 4K splitter. I’m using it with a 10 foot long HDMI cable routed through a cable pass thru mounted in the wall. Picture quality is excellent on both the television and the monitor. I could see where this would work great if you needed to run either a pair of projectors or pair of televisions from a PC, laptop, or streaming device at an event. Small form factor at only about 4” x 2 1/2” x 7/8” with rubber feet and a pair of keyhole slots to mount it from screws on 3” centers if you need to mount it on the back of an entertainment center or similar. Also includes two strips of double sided tape for no-drill mounting.
Comes with a 6 foot long usb A to usb C cable and an AC wall adapter to power the device.

We have a small office at home and there we work, the kids do homework and use it also as entertainment because we have a computer and a TV and this Splitter helped out a lot.
The splitter arrived in a small box, with the splitter, its power cable the charger, 2 sided tape and instructions.
It is easy to connect, we used the computer output to the splitter, and the output from the splitter to the monitor and the TV so it duplicates what we see on the monitor to the TV.
This helps out for the entire family, when the kids are doing their homework, we can keep an eye so they are not distracted with anything else.
When we spend time together, we can watch a movie or show that streams from the computer on to the TV since it is not a smart TV.
The splitter can also be used with the laptop with an external monitor or TV for easy viewing, either way; it has helped out to have multiple screens show what we want.
Easy setup, easy to use and all I needed are the HDMI cables to connect to the splitter.

Reliable and Easy-to-Use HDMI Splitter

I’ve been using the Insignia HDMI 2-Output Splitter with HDR Pass-Through for a few weeks now, and it works exactly as described. The setup was simple... just plug it in, connect the HDMI cables, and it was ready to go. The signal quality is excellent, and it handles 4K HDR content without any issues or lag. I use it to send a single HDMI source to both my TV and projector, and the picture remains sharp on both screens.
The build quality feels solid, and it’s compact enough to fit neatly behind my entertainment center. The included power adapter is a plus since some splitters struggle without external power.
Overall, this splitter is a great value for the price, especially if you need a reliable way to share one HDMI input with multiple displays.

NO HDMI 2.1, NO VRR Support...

Buyers Beware: This does NOT include HDMI 2.1, so if your monitor or TV has VRR, it will NOT work with this audio extractor. My Alienware monitor was hooked up to my PS5 Pro, but said VRR was not available. At first I thought it was my HDMI cable was not compatible, but nope .. swapped out this audio extractor with one from Amazon, VRR now works perfectly. No clue why you would only include HDMI 2.0 on a brand new device in 2025. Makes zero sense.
