    Using a PLN 20 HDMI Splitter for a Monitor, Computer, and TunerTV: Will it Work?

    Can I connect the monitor, computer and tunertv with this splitter?

    I have a monitor with TV function that has one HDMI input.
    I also have an N TV tunerTV and of course a computer (graphics card) and everything has an HDMI connection.

    I do not want to constantly re-connect the computer, once the tunerTV and I wonder if this splitter will work as it should?

    Graphically, it would be easier here.

    If the one for PLN 20 has a mechanical switch, it will also work, if there is no switch, it is not suitable.

    Well, unfortunately, it does not work as a divider - at least for me.
    I have a PC and I need to split the signal between the monitor and the receiver.
    Until now, I had the monitor connected normally via the d-sub-d-sub, and the hdmi-hdmi ampli and duplicated the image because the card gives me this option.
    On the motherboard I have integrated graphics and just 1 HDMI output and the second analog.
    I am having fun with photo processing and I wanted to improve the image on the monitor by connecting via hdmi-DVI (because I do not have hdmi in the monitor) ..
    And I have this:
    if I connect two outputs (ampli and monitor) and turn on the computer, I have no image on either the TV or the monitor.
    When I disconnect one output, with the computer already on, the other works, whether it's a monitor or TV - but I can't choose the output in the graphics card settings ...
    As if I could see only one "receiver" on the splitter ...

    This divider is at the edge of the ...

    Does something like that save me: http://www.ontech.pl/product-pol-58788-4W-Min...x1-HDMI-V1-3-Intelligent-Switcher-06929-.html

    I don't want to buy a graphics card .....

    My friend HDMI signal cannot be easily divided or switched because it is a digital signal and has HDCP anti-piracy protection. for this you need special switches and splitters that certainly do not cost PLN 20. If you continue to combine it, you will damage the HDMI inputs in the equipment and you will cost a lot of repairing them.

    You need an auto HDMI switch
    If you try hard, you'll find them on the net, they cost around PLN 60
    I have been using one myself with success
    Ps Make sure it supports the appropriate HDMI versions for your devices

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of using a PLN 20 HDMI splitter to connect a monitor with TV functionality, a computer, and a tuner TV. Users express skepticism about the effectiveness of low-cost splitters, noting that many do not function as intended due to the digital nature of HDMI signals and HDCP protection. Some suggest that a mechanical switch may allow for proper functionality, while others recommend investing in an auto HDMI switch, which is more reliable and typically costs around PLN 60. Users share personal experiences indicating that basic splitters often fail to output signals to multiple devices simultaneously, leading to potential damage to HDMI ports if improperly used.
