Not all budget HDMI devices are equal. Here's what separates a great $20 switch from a waste of money.
Before buying, know which you need. A switch connects multiple devices to one TV. A splitter sends one device to multiple TVs. Buying the wrong one is the #1 mistake. Full explainer here →
Budget splitters are often "bus-powered" — they draw power from the HDMI cable itself. This works for short runs and 2 outputs. For 3+ outputs or longer cable runs, you need a powered (active) device with its own adapter.
Most budget switches support 4K@30Hz — fine for streaming but laggy for gaming. If you have a PS5 or Xbox Series X, look for 4K@60Hz minimum, or HDMI 2.1 for 4K@120Hz. The avedio pick above does HDMI 2.1 at a great budget price.
Three complete gaming builds for every budget — Starter, Sweet Spot, and No Compromise. Console and PC. Every component curated and available on Amazon, with a dedicated Idea List for each tier so you can shop the whole build in one place.

Yes, if you buy from reputable brands. The products on this page are all from established brands with thousands of verified reviews. Avoid no-name switches under $8 with few reviews — those tend to fail quickly.
Only if it's HDCP 2.2 compliant. Many cheap splitters fail this test and cause a black screen. The Orei splitter on this page is HDCP 2.2 certified and works with all streaming services.
No. All the switches on this page support hot-swapping — you can switch between devices while they're on. Some even auto-switch when you power on a device.
For streaming movies and TV, 30Hz looks fine. For gaming, 30Hz causes noticeable motion blur. If you game on a PS5 or Xbox, pay the few extra dollars for a 4K@60Hz or HDMI 2.1 switch.
