Reddit reviews Fosmon 2-Port HDMI 2.0 Switch 4K 60Hz, 2x1 / 1x2 Bi-Directional HDMI Switcher UHD 4Kx2K 3D HD 1080p HDCP, 2 Input 1 Output Splitter Hub Compatible with HDTV, PS4, Xbox One, Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick

I found these magnetic USB cables quite handy for charging the controllers while minimizing the risk of bending the micro USB ports.

Since I also have an Oculus, I bought this HDMI switch so that I don't ever have to unplug and re-plug in the cables (which damaged them in the past, which was hell). If you are going this route, I might next time consider a KVM switch that also switches the USB, though I do not have one to recommend.

I use this one for one ps4 pro and switch between a 55” q7 qled and a 32” 720p lg led and can vouch that there is no loss in sound or video quality. It works with either as if the switch isnt there.

I love everyone mentioning the card hehe, thanks! :) So you're saying just pop in a USB keyboard for starters and that's it?

Yeah I was wondering about a fan. I'm being told by a majority a heatsink will be fine, I don't really sit for extended gaming periods, not with a toddler and newborn lol, so I figured for now, this case/heatsink will do until my needs change

I planned to get this to help with my connections to the TV. Wondering if anyone else has tried it.

I recently bought this by mistake, but im sure they come in other flavors.

HDMI Input ---> Button Swaps between two outputs. But the setup you are looking for might be kinda hard to setup.

Might consider a bidirectional HDMI switch, then there's no wear on the components and it's just an easy button press. Mine arrives today and I'll see if it behaves with the CV1. I picked up this one : http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD8024-Bi-Directional-Switcher-Passthrough/dp/B00LFX1UDM

I use this switcher to switch between my second monitor and the Rift. It doesn't turn on.

It works quite well honestly. I'll try to detail it out as best I can.

So ideally you need 2 PSN accounts. You don't need to have PS Plus on both. Log both your accounts in on your PS4. Set your PS4 as your primary PS4. Your main PSN account is logged into your PS4, your alternate account is used on the remote play app because you cannot log into one account in two places (PS4 + remote play). The alternate account is streaming the video + audio from the primary account.

My PS4 feeds into an HDMI splitter which runs to my TV and to my monitor. When playing on my monitor I log into remote play using my alternate account and log into my PS4 on my primary account. This starts the audio feed to my PC where my headphones + amp are. Then I switch my monitor display over to its HDMI port and then I have the video. There is absolutely no delay for me on the audio or any input lag. I have noticed some people mention input delay, but that I believe is only if you use a Dualshock 4 within remote play hooked up to your PC instead of the controller still being connected to your PS4 if that makes sense.

I have this one. I have it set up opposite from your goal (one input, two outputs), but it shouldn't matter given that it is bi-directional. It is not perfect, but it works well for the price (e.g., sometimes I will have to toggle back and forth once to get the picture to work, but it always ends up working after that).

I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LFX1UDM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I it's manual (button to toggle) so perhaps not exactly what you're looking for but it is bi-directional so has more uses if you ever want to repurpose. It is also a full switch, not a splitter so it passes through the control signals etc so you shouldnt have any communication issues (so long as your wires are good enough, can be finicky for some people on some cards.


To be clear I use it to switch between rift and tv on my HDMI port (for audio to the tv and fewer adapters to the rift). I use the vive off dvi port through a dvi to HDMI adapter (and then a long extension to its box, without issue).

I have a dual PC setup and use an Elgato 4K60 Pro and use the Fosmon 1X2 bidirectional splitter.

Fosmon 2-Port HDMI Switch, HDMI 2.0, 4Kx2K, 60Hz, 2x1 or 1x2 Bi-Directional Splitter Hub Switcher, 2 Input 1 Output, Support UHD 4K 3D 1080p HDCP for HDTV, PS4, Xbox, Apple TV 4K, Roku, Fire Stick https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LFX1UDM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_z2B1Db98YXH97

I stream Switch/PC games and plan to also stream from my Xbox One and PS4 at some point so it was an easy choice to buy one of these and I use it everyday. It works great and saves you from having to switch HDMI cords and ruin your cable management. Best part is it’s only $13

Hope that helps.

the display is going TO the Vive, so it would be on the Output side.

it also needs to be HDMI 1.4 spec, which doesn't seem to be listed on that product's page.. so assume it's not.

maybe this one, but there's no guarantee -- https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD8024-Bi-Directional-Switcher-Passthrough/dp/B00LFX1UDM/

You could try an HDMI switch. They seem to be a good bit more available than displayport.

I've been using a similar box for my setup for a few years and haven't had a problem.

I have one and it works without issues. It does 4k60 without any problems though I haven't tried it with HDR. I suspect it won't work.
I have my PRO and PC going in and 1 single out to my TV but since it can also do single in, double out, I don't see why it wouldn't work between 2 outputs.

If you get another component that needs 4K 60Hz, you can always grab a cheap HDMI splitter(one that supports 4K 60 Hz). Like this one.

I just got 2 of these to hook up my ps4 and xbox to my big screen and monitor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LFX1UDM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_KYelgDM51QhLZ

First of all, no splitter will allow you to use the two displays independently, it will always duplicate displays.

The best value switch I can find is this one for HDMI

​

Or this one (more expensive) for DP

https://www.amazon.ca/Lindy-Port-4K-DisplayPort-Switch/dp/B00ZK2S71W/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=display+port+switch&qid=1562088158&s=gateway&sr=8-6

​

For both of these you would need two adapters.

​

If you already have the USB splitter, maybe try USB to display port, but those are very expensive 60+ each

I have this exact setup. With a PS4 though. My PC is plugged into my right monitor and then also plugged into this:

https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD8024-Bi-Directional-Switcher-Passthrough/dp/B00LFX1UDM

Which is connected to both PS4 AND PC so when I hit the button it switches between the two inputs.

I do this as well, but I do have concern about the replug endurance of the HDMI cables. I was considering an HDMI switch but figured none would likely work.

would like to use something like this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LFX1UDM
