I understand this device can only output to 1 TV or monitor at a time. Can I have two TV's connected and only have one turned on at a time?

Yes, you can do that, but the picture is still terrible. The quality of this product is below bad, it is nearly impossible to use.

I have purchased four of the products and none work how I want them to. I have found all of them useless.

I bought one of these on another website to connect my laptop hdmi output to my hdtv and another older Dell monitor to use in my kitchen. I can't get it work. One seems to cancel the other out and I have to restart the pc and reconnect one of my outputs. So I end up having to plug/unplug one or the other to use the other one.Very disappointing.

All I know is we purchased it as a splitter so we could send a signal to two TVs and it did not work! I'm not sure if it will do what you want but if it doesn't you can always return it.

It's been a while since I tried hooking up two TV's, but I do believe that using one at a time works, but if the 2nd tv is turned on you will lose sound.

mine couldn't....idk why ive seen people on here saying they had no problems but mine wouldn't work.. i could turn one tv on and it worked but if i tried to switch tvs i had to unplug them both and plug the one i wanted on in first and it would work...it was just easier to buy one with a power source. haven't had a problem since.

i want to connect two(2) tv's t0 cable boxhave two HDMI cable input but only one outpt. will this work for me.

Would imagine you can. Hope I am interpreting you question correctly. I understand from your question that you would hook two of these in series. That would I think allow you to use five pieces of equipment that have an hdmi output so one of them could be selected to go to your tv. Do not see why this would not work. Hope this is what you were looking for as an answer to your question.

Hi,I do not believe you can run more than one tv at a time with this converter unless there is some additional cable that can be purchased.

Yes, that is correct. This item is designed to split a single source into two outputs. It is not designed to combine two sources into one. So you will need separate inputs on your TV; you might choose the component output for one item and HDMI output for the other.

Yes for one video output only. If you are trying to use this for dual monitors it is not capable without a docking station.

yes you will need more than one. It will only work on one tv at a time. Or you could use it in on what ever room you are watching the tv in. Very easy to hook up.

This device is for ONE device IN, with MULTIPLE devices OUT. Blu-Ray Player in, 4 TV's for the output. It sounds like you are looking for a device that handles multiple inputs with one output. Keep looking, those devices are out there....

I only have 1 monitor attached - I can't find any reference that says that more can be connected.

I'm not sure because my computer already had HDMI port and it work fine. By the way, this Splitter use to display to more monitors with 1 input source. I think you need to buy a HDMI switcher so you can connect your computer, your TV cable, and another source . HDMI switcher got only 1 output to 1 TV. I hope this will help.

I used it to switch between inputs. Only one input at at time sending the same output to two screens.

Good question, you should be able to run one through the monitor plug and one plugged into the HDMI port.

Only one TV, unless you use a splitter, but I would think twice about buying this Amplifier. It may not do the job you want.

I don't believe you can considering that there is only one input. This device is meant for multiple displays not multiple inputs.

This device has one input and four outputs, to send one signal to up to four TV's. That doesn't sound like what you need if you want to send your computer display to a TV. If you have an available HDMI port on your TV, you don't need this. If you don't you need a HDMI switcher. Not a splitter.

The answer to your question is no, but if you change to game on output 1 and tv on output 2, I think it will do it. I wanted to play music on one and watch tv on the other as in sports and It will not do it. It is not independent for the 2 hdmi outs, they are linked sort of.

The signal is sent to both outputs all the time. You can use either tv or both at once.
