Everything is attached to the back of the television with some double sided sticky paper things i had lying around. Anything will probably work.

The USB wall outlet is one that delivers 3.1A at 5V that we bought from our local hardware store.

The server that the software runs on is a poweredge r710 with dual x5670s and 64GB of ram. Of course, this isnt all it does, but it is one of the many things i host on it. :)

If you'd like, i can post the scripts i wrote for it as well.

Splitters in the traditional sense are for taking one signal and "splitting it" to multiple TV's.

What you need is an HDMI Switch box, similar to this;

This looks like it should work for your needs.
Here is the Schiit product I mentioned. It might be worth looking into it to see if you can get it cheaper or something though. Monoprice might have something similar.

No fix, happens with the autosensing switch I use on my TV.

Yes, but it isn't recommended. An HDMI splitter like this might help:

You mean like an HDMI switch?

But there is no way for me to add a power source to either one? I don't think so. I would assume there would need to be a port for that. If the fix was this easy, I'd be very happy. Here are the two HDMI switches I bought:

You are aware that using an HDMI splitter will only mirror your PC on on both screens?

Two of these would do the trick though.

An HDMI Switch of some kind is probably easiest. You can get them wicked cheap if you're willing to wait awhile on shipping.

Here's a 3-port HDMI switch with ok reviews. Also it's only 12 bucks. The ad says it supports up to 1900x1200 resolution so if that's not enough I'd just search around for "HDMI switch" on amazon. Link

This should do nicely. With this device, you can switch between 3 input devices.

You can throw away the sound bar and replace it with a receiver and proper speakers. You could also upgrade your TV and use its optical out. Lastly you could be super ghetto and daisy chain HDMI switch to an HDMI splitter. You would then need to throw away whatever old device you have that didn't use HDMI.

Definitely spring for an inexpensive hdmi switcher that covers what you need! It's a great, cheap way to be able to add in more stuff in your setup. I have a couple of different ones and they work well for my purposes:

• The Fosmon pigtail only has devices hooked up to it that can be powered off (like the PS3). It doesn't support a remote, but it doesn't matter since the autoswitching wouldn't be affected by any continuous draw devices (like a Chromecast or FireTV). It doesn't require any power source.
  
  
• The Kinivo 301BN is a lot more flexible. I have it programmed into my Harmony and configured for a multitude of devices, like my 360, Chromecast, Fire Stick, VitaTV, and PC. Since it supports a remote, it doesn't matter that I have devices that are always on connected to it, and the auto switching works like a peach. It requires an external power source.
  
  
• Unfortunately, I ran out of ports on that sucker (it only has 5!), so I bought this TeckNet 3 port. Depending on how much power it can pull over the HDMI, it may not need a power source... I've used it in two setups, one where I was able to just daisy chain it to the Kinivo and one where I had to power it off the USB directly from a TV. Supports a remote, so I got it programmed into the Harmony and it works well for always on devices.
  
  ...also, if you haven't looked into unifying your whole setup with a Harmony-style solution, definitely give it a thought! Initial configuration can be a little annoying, but you kind of forget all about it once you're hopping between presets with single button presses. You don't need to go big money on it...the 650 is a great remote with a nice screen (basically like a fancier version of the Xbox 360 Harmony), or you can go with one of the higher dollar versions that uses your phone/tablet as the primary interface. Very customization, very cool.

It’s not nearly as fancy as the one someone else posted, but I got this one four years ago and it works just fine AND it’s only $9.

I've used this Fosmon 3 port switch with no problems. I use it to connect my PS3, Xbox 360, and Retron 5 so that my current gen consoles get their own dedicated HDMI port on my TV.

HDMI switch

Seriously, it takes one Amazon or Google search.

This one is the one I use and works well, saw it on quite a few top lists.

Look for something like this:

http://www.coolice.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=7287

Which will take care of the rca and dvi parts of your set up, then get a vga to hdmi cable and a display port to HDMI cable and plug them all into a HDMI "hub" like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD1831-3-Port-Switch-Pigtail/dp/B008GVOVK0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1411160672&sr=8-2&keywords=hdmi+hub

I'm not entire sure what scart is but if you have questions let me know!

I use that to connect my ps3, ps4 and 360 to a single HDMI in. You can look for a 2 to 1 switch since thats what you would need, but you can't beat that price.

This one seems like a good offer in case your TV has only 1 HDMI input.

something like this would work perfectly fine

I'm not sure if this would help, but here is what I bought when I ran out of HDMI slots.

Amazon link

It has 3 HDMI slots and for me at least, when I turn power on to my ATV4 that is what displays, if I then turn on my PS3 it will switch to that automatically. I have my cable box on a separate HDMI slot, so I don't know how it would work with that.

Damn thats an expenisve one. I dont really have any advice on your situation, but I use this one and it works perfectly and only set me back 10 bucks:

I got this one and have had no issues at all https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GVOVK0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have my Tivo and Raspberry Pi going into my xbox through an HDMI Switch. I can switch to the Raspberry Pi with no issues, but if I switch to the Tivo the screen is just dark and nothing comes through. I can switch back to the Raspberry Pi with no issues. This is the switch I am using:

I don't need 4K or anything like that, but I might try the two port version of the Monoprice Blackbird Pro.

Yes.

How about this

Because you want three of them and the display you want doesn't support Thunderbolt, you'll need a lot of cabling. You could try USB-C to HDMI to an HDMI splitter. If you've got the budget and want to expand to more ports than just HDMI then you can get this Thunderbolt 3 hub, and use the splitter from that.

Would you say either of these are a good brand?

Would it just be best to get an HDMI switch like this?

What you need is a switcher, not a splitter.
There are different types, some need power, other not.

Hmm,
This switch and use a HDMI splitter. However this means all or nothing. Alternatively you can use this on one monitor only.

This one, TCL is a good brand they make good computer monitors.
And for 329 dollars u cant do better than that.
When u watch 4k netflix ur mind will be so blown u would not regret for a second 4k upgrade.

and for the hdmi problem everyone has, u can get an hdmi split all tvs dont have many hdmi ports like is rare one who have more than 4.

This is for your USB dock and this is for your HDMI Splitter

Sounds like you're looking for an HDMI switch. They exist, but you'll still need to use the switch to decide which input should be passed through to the TV as needed.

A rather fancy switch

Less fancy switch

So I use a single monitor and I decided to extend my display to my Playstation Television. I bought this splitter: https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD1831-3-Port-Switch-Pigtail/dp/B008GVOVK0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1493355050&sr=1-3&keywords=hdmi+splitter

I just tried using it and I don't think it's working? I connected the single end to my graphics card and the other 2 to the 3-input end. Nothing is being shown..did I buy the wrong product or am I doing something wrong?

Pls help a lost soul

I'm having the same issue with my main TV in the living room. Only has 2 HDMI ports but I regularly use the Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on it, so I've been manually unplugging the HDMI from the PS4 and plugging into the Switch.

Also on that TV is my PS3 and Wii U, but the hassle of changing cables means I just don't use them.

These 2 HDMI switches were recommended to me:
https://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-501BN-Premium-wireless-adapter/dp/B0049SCB2Y
https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD1831-3-Port-Switch-Pigtail/dp/B008GVOVK0?th=1

A switch is for plugging multiple sources to one display. A splitter is for connecting one source to multiple displays. You want a switch.

However, some listings on Amazon will label a switch as a splitter, a splitter as a switch, or label a device as a switch splitter.

I use one of these and it works fine.

It's available with many different brandings. They're all the same.

I hooked it up and attached it to the back of my monitor with Velcro. It does auto-detect the signal reasonably well and it's easy to reach behind the monitor and hit the selection button when I want to actively switch.

I use this one to switch between my PC, PS3 and PS4 and haven't had any issues with it.

Or a hardware solution

Yeah, you want an HDMI switch then, the device link/CEC passthrough would probably only work for the currently selected input though.

Something like this would work for 1080p

Any recommendations? There's so many on Amazon but this one is the most popular:

Fosmon HD1831 3-Port HDMI Switch with Pigtail Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GVOVK0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5eFQybEFKGCDE

Get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD1831-3-Port-Switch-Pigtail/dp/B008GVOVK0

Much cheaper and easier than trying to get it routed through your computer.

i have this https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD1831-3-Port-Switch-Pigtail/dp/B008GVOVK0/ref=pd_sim_23_9?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B008GVOVK0&pd_rd_r=0X3SNTPPNVXHRV696418&pd_rd_w=xtFHg&pd_rd_wg=3IdOJ&psc=1&refRID=0X3SNTPPNVXHRV696418 is the second like him ?

because my splitter is change to another device when i play on ps4 :(

I think it should be fine.

You may need to turn tv volume down if it sounds like echo.

You could also try an HDMI switch.

You could just toggle the TV as a second monitor in display settings. Or get something like this however if the resolutions are different you'd have to adjust it every time you hit the switch (I think...)
