Best HDMI Switchers & Splitters in the UK

The Kinivo 550BN, unlike other modern splitters available on the market today, has a multitude of various features that make it one of the top picks.

First of all, the switch supports the 2-way transmission of the digital signal, which allows using it with multiple devices simultaneously. While other devices can only deliver a digital signal with 30Hz refresh rate, the 550BN does so at a stunning 60Hz, which is great not only for gaming purposes but also live-action, real-time content, as well as live streams.

As far as the number of ports is concerned, the 550BN can easily transmit audio and video content to 5 screens at the same time in stunning 4K resolution, which is not a small feat at all for such a tiny device.

Furthermore, the thing that separates this particular model from many similar products is its aluminium alloy shell that provides excellent heat dissipation to the internal components of the switch. Owing to this subtle yet definitely effective feature you won’t experience any overheating or lag caused by it while the device is on.

In the end, if you are looking for a good HDMI switch that supports all modern video formats that can actually stream at 60Hz, then this model from Kinivo will be right up your alley. Easy to utilise and install, it beats the competition in many aspects.

The CYHI514 from mrocioa is a simple and affordable HDMI splitter that features a few aces up its sleeve, making it an attractive option for owners of several digital monitors or TVs.

To start off, thanks to 5 ports included in this little appliance, the switcher is capable of transmitting the digital signal to multiple devices at the same time without any lag or losses in display quality. Next comes its excellent performance, automatically switching the unit to the last boot, reducing LED brightness, improving viewing effect, and making sure the power consumption remains low. Finally, it's very safe and reliable, coming in a durable aluminium alloy shell that effectively dissipates heat.

The list of features provided in the CYHI514 is quite impressive indeed, yet, we were quite surprised to find out that this model's only capable of transmitting the digital signal at 30Hz frequency, which is a bit underwhelming. That being said, considering the modest price tag for the full package, it’s not that huge of an issue.

Compatibility-wise, this HDMI switch supports pretty much any modern HDMI-capable device, including game consoles, Blu-ray players, as well as new iterations of Apple TVs and Smart TVs. For added convenience, the package includes a handy remote control that you can use to switch between the input and output channels from any comfy spot in your home.

All in all, the mrocioa CYHI51 will prove to be a great choice if you look for a high-quality HDMI switch without any bells and whistles that'd be able to deliver a stunning 4K signal directly to your monitor or TV. A real steal for the money.

When it comes to picking a smaller HDMI switch that just works, your options are fairly limited. Fortunately, this splitter from Techole proves that an affordable device can be as effective as some premium model out there.

So, what really makes this particular HDMI switch so good? Firstly, it’s the Plug and Play system that allows enjoying your favourite TV shows, movies, and games as soon as you connect both ends to the splitter. Since no external drivers are required to operate the switch it acts as a simple, yet effective gateway for all HDMI signals. The only limitation to this system is that you will need to use an HDMI 2.0 cable or newer, otherwise, you may encounter some picture input lag.

Secondly, it’s a fast and stable transmission of data - even with all three ports occupied, this little aluminium box will deliver up to 10.2 Gbps bandwidth, which is simply amazing. What's not as amazing though is that if all three ports are used simultaneously, the appliance might get noticeably hot. Regardless, it doesn't affect its performance.

Finally, if you were searching for a good, affordable HDMI splitter that works from day one, then the HS301 from Techole will fit that bill just fine. With native 4K (30Hz) support, this 3-way splitter is one of the best options for those who own several HDMI devices.

Contrary to other products listed in our review, this Neoteck splitter supports devices with refresh rates of up to 120Hz, which makes it an ideal choice for high framerate TVs and digital monitors. At the same time, just like its competition, the switch can handle multiple devices connected to it via HDMI cables simultaneously so that users who want to connect several devices into one system can benefit from it, too.

The only noticeable drawback of this particular switch is the fact that it only supports Full HD resolution. So, in case you have a 4K TV screen, this model probably won’t be a good suit for you. For the owners of the smaller monitors and displays, though, it'd be a real bargain considering that it costs way less than most 4K-capable appliances, which often barely support frequency rates of 60Hz.

On the bright side, the NTK035-V features 5 HDMI outputs that allow connecting multiple monitors at the same time, without any quality loss, which makes it ideal for both gaming and streaming purposes. Likewise, the appliance supports a wide variety of HDMI devices, including but not limited to Sky Boxes, TV boxes, multimedia players, game consoles, as well as notebooks.

Wrapping things up, if you need an HDMI splitter that can handle refresh rates of modern displays and TVs, then this product from Neoteck will be perfect for that role.

The Techole model is both a switch and a splitter. And the best thing about it is that all three of its ports can be used as both input and outputs. Well, not like three outputs or three inputs, obviously. We mean that gadget works in two directions. It has two ports on one side and one on the other and you can use them to either connect two TV sets to a single multimedia source or set the system with two sources (a laptop and a PS4, for example) transmitting to a single TV. It is a highly convenient option.

That being said, the model doesn't support the 2-way transmission from two TVs simultaneously, that's not what it is made for. What it is made for is easy switching between the devices (either TV sets or sources) without you having to untangle the wires and reconnect. You will only have to push the button on the splitter, and it will switch to another of the two connected devices. The currently operational port is indicated by a tiny LED light that will turn itself off in case any issues with the connection occur.

The switch/splitter is the HDMI 1.4 version and can transmit video in 4K Ultra HD quality; the selection of supported audio formats is also fairly good, it includes Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and LPCM, among others.

This is one of the smallest models on the market, which makes it a good choice for wall-mounted TVs since it is easy to hide behind the set.
