" ... Unfortunately, this device did not pass the 4K HDR signal to my TV ... I recommend looking at other devices if you wish to preserve that 4K signal. ... "
" ... Not 4k if you use it ... "
" ... There aren't many HDMI splitters that claim to support 4k@60 with 4:4:4 chroma or RGB . ... Both TVs have HDMI inputs but lack displayport, and this graphics card only has one HDMI output. ...

" ... I split the cable box signal to a normal tv and a projector on the ceiling that needed a 50 foot cable to reach, both have full 1080 p signal. ... I bought a second one and did the same to the satellite receiver now we can watch either cable or satellite on either tv at any time which is nice in a big hall during sporting events. ... "
" ... I split the cables at the ground level near the output source (my laptop). ... "
" ... The cable company charges a mint for additional receivers to connect to a television and since I have two televisions in my office, this seemed like an ideal solution - and it was. ... "
" ... This looks to be a very well built splitter. ... "
" ... As long as you have good cables for 4k then this will be able to do as advertised and it allowed me to send a 4k signal from my ps4 pro to my 4k tv and 4k pc monitor ... "
