OREI HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 out - Ultra HD 4K @ 30Hz, HDCP, 3D & Full HD 1080P Support for Xbox, PS4, Blu-ray, HDTV - Adapter Included

Item worked as advertised to fully support 4K HDR output from a Switch 2 dock to a TV that supports 4K HDR. Automatically switches which input is used based on what device is powered on, and even supported HDMI CEC, so any device will power on the TV. It includes a Micro-USB cable for power, but the added insert says it is (typically) not needed and I did not need it. The Switch 2 and Xbox One S that are plugged in to it provide enough power for it to work without the power cable.

I was able to add an Acer and HP monitor( extended display) to my HP laptop with no problem. Once the driver was installed it all configured right away.

It's a great HDMI Switcher but I can't use it to use on our older TV. We only have 1 HDMI connection.I think we just need a new TV.

This works great, I have a Macbook Air 2020 M1 and it works great to extend my displays for work. Only issue that I have is the you have to give the permission for screen recording in the systems settings, thats the only issue I have, Lucky its not too bad and its not consistent screen recording that I am aware of.

This actually works. I have tried splitters in the past but this device(You have to download the driver) literally separates the signals works for multi monitor with single input laptops

I purchased the OREI after trying two other HDMI 1 to 2 expanders. The first one connected to my cube, running windows 10, via the HDMI port and the second was tried using the USB C port. The first two behaved identically. Yes I had video but the mouse was screwed up.The problem was that the mouse would not shift between the two monitors unless you moved it left on monitor 1 and then found it on the right side of monitor 2. As my wife said this set up was driving her crazy I researched the OREI. The video was well done and I had high expectations but alas, NO JOY.It behaved just as the other two, much less expensive boxes, did. I then downloaded the drivers that were referenced on the video....I thought surely this is the problem..... Again "no Joy".I could make it work if I powered on the cube and then connected the OREI with one monitor (a DELL) , then connected the second monitor (a Samsung) to the orei..... not the way it should have worked but the mouse behaved well..... then the next problem surfaced.... the Samsung monitor was fuzzy..... the dell monitor was perfect (crisp, bright) and if you did a reboot, the old mouse problem would come back. Oh yes changing the ports that fed the monitors on the OREI did not help.... the dell remained crisp and bright while the Samsung got fuzzy regardless of which monitor setting I used with windows or which port on the OREI I used... If I only used the Samsung monitor on the cube, without the OREI, all was perfect ...bright crisp and very easy to read.. the same with the dell..... both monitors behaved as what I would expect. In addition, the cube would not start a program on the desk top. The mouse would move to the icon but nothing worked if you single or double clicked on any program located anyplace.Now I am not planning to return it, but really think I should as it was a failure from the beginning, but I have given away the other 2 expanders and really need a way to work with 2 monitors. I have resigned myself to simply using it with the limitations noted above.Perhaps this works OK with a Mac (I have not tried it with my Macbook Air) but if that is the case then the description need to be clear on that point. I purchased it because I had a desktop cube and wanted to run two monitors ....Therefor, I can not recommend it as any kind of a useful solution..... thus the 1 star ratingI will try their tech support line as a very last resort ..... but I have very low expectations as this type of device should be a plug and play and unless there is some magic software that will make it work, then it is close to worthless.... as a true dual monitor interface that sort-of works it does fine. But I would never buy it again nor would I recommend it.

Plug and play not extra software needed love this thing!

I have a windows 11 laptop and 16 inch MacBook pro with the m3 max chip. I have a 32 inch Asus monitor. The monitor has 2 HDMI ports and when plugging my mac into one of those ports, I have no issues but I was tired of switching through the monitor between the two computers so I looked here for a switcher that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. The switcher works perfectly with my windows but it glitches out when plugged into the mac. The screen will turn on but it keeps blacking out. i don't know if this mac being so high end has something to do with it or not but I will probably return this switcher.
