5.0 out of 5 stars Worked Perfectly!, June 2, 2009

I have a DirecTV HR20 receiver and a Samsung TV that had a 50 ft run I was trying to split off in another room from the main TV. I tried the regular HDMI splitter but could only get video but no sound. After doing some research I found out I needed an active splitter. The original one suggested to me ran around $150. I came across this unit and read through the helpful comments. This unit worked perfect with no quality loss. Unit is very small as well which enables you to put it behind the receiver and you don't even know it is there.

Bought this item so that my son would have the option of displaying my PS3 picture on my computer monitor -OR- on our 46" Samsung 1080p TV set. We got tired of having to wait for him to "finish a game" or "just a moment" to watch our TV. But splitting the HDMI out on the PS3 two ways with this device, we now can direct him to just turn on the PC monitor to continue his gaming -OR- if we aren't using the TV, he can play the PS3 in it's much bigger viewing on the TV. You can also watch it on both at the same time, and both have an excellent picture with no loss of picture quality.

This is EXACTLY why I bought this, and it has worked flawlessly so far.

If you need to split one HDMI output for two possible HD screens, then I would highly recommend this device. If you are trying to use this item for some thing that this device clearly isn't designed for, you might want to try something else. But it works great for it's intended purpose!

I was skeptical when I bought this unit. I needed to split my HDMI in order to feed 2 CRT projectors in a stacked arrangement. I was also using custom timings at 1080p60, which gives some of my other equipment fits. To my delight, this splitter worked perfectly. I am able to run both pj's at the same time, or one at a time for independent convergence which has to be done periodically.
The only thing I don't like is the bright red led's. They show up too much in my very dark home theater. I would have liked a much dimmer led, perhaps in blue or green. Red means something is wrong in my mind, and in this case it indicates everything is OK.
I highly recommend this very reasonably priced item.
