Best HDMI Splitters of 2026

The MT-ViKI MT-SP104-M is the four-output splitter we point to when the budget is tighter and every screen tops out at 4K30 or 1080p. It costs less than the OREI 1x4, but it does not feel like a downgrade in the box: the case is metal, the 5V/2A power adapter is included, and the warranty runs two years. That last detail matters more than the port count for a box that stays powered all day.

It mirrors one source to four displays at up to 4K at 30Hz and 1080p at 60Hz. For a TV, a projector, or a security monitor, that is enough. For a PS5 or a 120Hz gaming display, it is not; the OREI 1x4 is the one to choose if 4K60 is the point. We also like the compact metal body, which is small enough to tuck behind a TV and should handle heat better than a bare plastic shell.

The power adapter is the practical win. So many budget splitters ship with only a USB cable, and then the picture flickers because a TV's service port cannot supply enough current. Here the adapter is in the box, so the install is one less thing to solve. It is still mirror-only, and all four displays show the same thing, but for a simple four-screen setup this is the value pick.

Eight outputs changes the kind of installation this is. The OREI UHDS-108 takes one HDMI source and sends it to eight displays at up to 4K at 60Hz, with HDCP 2.2 and 18Gbps of bandwidth. That makes it a better fit for a sports bar, a showroom, or a house with a lot of screens than for a two-TV living room.

The detail we care about is the EDID dip switch. When one display refuses to handshake or the system keeps dropping to a lower resolution, being able to choose how the splitter presents itself is the difference between a five-minute fix and a return. It is a small switch on a small box, but it is the kind of control a multi-screen install needs.

We recommend it for the buyer who already knows eight screens are the job. It is more expensive than the 1x4 picks, and it is still mirror-only, so do not buy it expecting different content on different displays. What you get is a clean single-box path for eight 4K60 screens, plus the EDID control that makes mixed displays less of a gamble.

A church hall, a conference room, or a retail wall usually needs the same thing: one source, eight screens, and cable runs long enough to reach the far corners. The MT-ViKI MT-SP108-M is built for that job, with eight powered outputs, 4K at 30Hz, and support for up to 50 feet of cable in and 50 feet out per display.

We like it because it solves the whole run in one box. Daisy-chaining two four-port splitters adds another power supply and another handshake, and that is where installs get flaky. The trade-off is the 4K30 ceiling; if the source is a 4K60 game console, the picture will not stay at 60Hz. For presentations, security feeds, and 1080p signage, that is a fair trade.

The 8.6-inch-wide chassis is still small enough for a shelf, and the plug-and-play setup means no software. We wish it had 4K60 for future-proofing, but at this end of the market the job is usually 1080p or 4K30. If you need 4K60 across eight screens, the OREI 1x8 is the better long-term buy; if budget and long runs decide it, this is the practical choice.

The Amazon Basics 1x2 is the splitter for the job most people actually have: one source, two screens, and no interest in a networking project. It is small, light, and about as simple as the category gets. It mirrors one HDMI input to two displays at up to 4K at 30Hz, and it includes a 3.3-foot USB-A to DC power cable. The power adapter is not included, which is the one thing to plan for.

We like that the listing is blunt about the limits: it mirrors, it does not extend, and it does not support 4K at 60Hz. That honesty makes it easy to place. Use it for a TV and a projector in the same room, a second screen at a desk, or a security monitor. At 5.43 ounces it sits behind a TV without a shelf, and the short USB cable keeps the install tidy. If you need 4K60 or four outputs, the OREI 1x4 is the upgrade; if two screens are enough, this is the least complicated way to get there.

The Uzanpie 1x4 is the budget four-port box that comes with a longer-than-usual safety net: an 18-month breakage service. That is the detail that separates it from the pile of anonymous splitters. It mirrors one source to four displays at up to 4K at 30Hz, and the USB-to-DC power cable is included.

We like the four outputs at this end of the price range. It lets you feed a TV, a monitor, and a projector from one source without spending much more than a two-port box. The 4K30 limit is the same trade-off as the other budget picks; for a game console at 4K60, step up to the OREI 1x4. For a bedroom, a small office, or a security setup, it is plenty.

The 18-month breakage service is why we keep it on the list. Small splitters fail, and a longer window takes some of the sting out of that. It is still a mirror-only box, but for a low-cost four-screen install it is a sensible bet.

The first thing we check on a powered splitter is the power supply, and the Happfeel 1x4 puts a UL-certified 5V adapter in the box. That is not a glamorous feature, but it removes the most common weak point in a cheap install. It also supports 1080p at 120Hz and long runs up to 100 feet with 26AWG HDMI cable.

Four outputs at 4K30 cover a TV, a projector, and a couple of monitors, and the metal shell should handle heat better than a plastic case. The LED indicators are useful when you are tracing which output has gone quiet. For 4K60 gaming, this is not the box; the OREI 1x4 is the one to choose. For 1080p high-refresh or a long 1080p run, it is more interesting than the usual budget splitter.

We like that the 100-foot claim is tied to a cable gauge rather than left as a vague promise. Use 26AWG HDMI cable, keep the input run and output run within the stated split, and the box has a better chance of holding a stable picture.

Our verdict is that this is the specialist pick: the adapter, the 1080p120 support, and the long-run guidance make it worth considering when your setup is not a simple two-TV mirror. If you need 4K60, spend the extra on the OREI; if you need a long 1080p run and a certified adapter, this is the one we point to.

The NEWCARE 1x2 is the least expensive way here to mirror one source to two screens, provided you already own a 5V USB adapter and an HDMI cable. It handles up to 4K, 3D, and 1080p, with 10.2Gbps of bandwidth and HDCP 1.4, and it lists a 52-foot maximum for 1080p with 26AWG cable.

We like that the listing is unusually clear about what it will not do: it does not extend the desktop, it does not switch between sources, and it does not extract audio or support ARC/eARC. That saves a lot of guessing. The 10.2Gbps ceiling is fine for 1080p and undemanding 4K, but it is not a 4K60 box.

The small size is the appeal. It can sit behind a TV or on a shelf without calling attention to itself, and the USB power cable is easy to route. Use a real 5V adapter rather than a TV's service port if you see dropouts.

We recommend it as a spare or a budget mirror box, not as the center of a 4K home theater. If you need 4K60, HDCP 2.2, or an included power supply, the OREI 1x4 is the better buy. If you need two screens and already have the accessories, this is the cheapest way to get there.
