A switch will decrease that wear and tear, extending the life of your gear as well as easing the hassle of using your AV system.

Maybe that TV is in a different room, or maybe in the same room you have a TV to watch during the day and a projector to watch at night. A splitter will duplicate a signal and send it out through multiple HDMI cables. Some splitters are also switches, with multiple "ins" and multiple "outs. If you want two displays going at the same time, keep in mind the maximum resolution for all is whatever the lowest resolution display is.

The splitter won't convert the signal to p just for that TV. In theory you shouldn't have copy protection issues… in theory. You should be able to send any content you want through a splitter to multiple TVs. That's not a guarantee you'll be without issues, though. HDCP " handshakes " are black magic that sometimes can only be resolved by dancing around an HDMI logo painted on your floor in unicorn tears.

This is especially true of older displays and sources. Make sure before you buy it that it passes HDCP. They'll usually say in the product description. Though there are some unpowered splitters on the market, you're probably better off getting a powered one. They're only slightly more money, and there's a better chance your setup will work without dropouts or connectivity issues. Here's where I mention that some products at Amazon and elsewhere are mislabeled.

In the link for splitters above, for example, a few switches showed up, and one I'm looking at you, Techole is a switch, not a splitter, even though the words "HDMI splitter" appear in its description. But now that you've read this far, you know the difference and can shop with confidence, right?
