My hubby mentioned that we needed one of these for our computer / xbox set up. He said it worked perfectly and exactly how he wanted it to. We did have to use our own power support as one didn’t come with it.
It currently costs $18.39 and comes in black, grey or red
Bought this specifically so I could watch NHL playoffs on my TV in another room, instead of solely on my desktop monitor. Worked perfectly! (Had to buy a 20′ HDMI cord too, of course).
In the package, you’ll receive the HDMI splitter, a 1M long braided HDMI cable and a USB-C cable.
Usage:
– The power source must be plugged in order for the splitter to work and a blue light will come on when data is passing through the output port.
Performance:
– The video/image quality is well preserved, although I was only able to test 4K 30FPS performance (due to the source and hardware that I was using). There is no lag of any kind.
– Audio reproduction is also well done, and there is no delay or mismatch between video and audio output.
Build:
– The splitter itself is compact and sturdy with an aluminum casing
– Comes with a 1M long braided HDMI cable, really well made and will last a long time. Of note, the HDMI connectors are also of high quality and made of aluminum.
Overall, I am pleased with how well it performs.
Ugh, presentations. You gotta love needing to show your laptop screen on two monitors at once. This ZACCAS splitter came to the rescue though!
Setup was a breeze – no weird software, just plug and play. Laptop to splitter, splitter to monitors – bam! Mirrored magic in seconds. Plus, it came with a 3.3ft HDMI cable, saving me a last-minute store run.
Picture quality is on point for everyday use. Text is crisp, pictures look great – no complaints there. It says it can handle 4K, but for 1080p it’s awesome.
Heads up: This splitter keeps things the same on both screens, like a mirror. So if you need different stuff on each monitor, this isn’t it. But for presentations, showing a buddy something, or even watching movies on a double-monitor setup, this ZACCAS splitter rocks.
The Verdict: Need to mirror your laptop screen? This ZACCAS splitter is your new best friend. Super easy to use, great picture quality, and small enough to keep around. Just remember, it mirrors, not extends, so make sure that’s what you need!
I recently purchased the ZACCAS Aluminum 4K HDMI Splitter for Dual Monitors, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Setting up dual monitors can be a hassle, but this splitter made it a breeze.
The build quality of the splitter is outstanding, with its sleek aluminum design exuding durability and style. The compact size is also a plus, as it doesn’t take up much space in my entertainment setup.
Performance-wise, this splitter truly shines. The 4K resolution support ensures crystal-clear visuals, and I haven’t experienced any lag or signal degradation, even when simultaneously displaying content on two monitors.
One of the standout features is the ability to duplicate or mirror the display effortlessly. Whether I’m giving presentations or watching videos, the splitter flawlessly duplicates the content on both monitors, providing a seamless viewing experience.
Overall, I highly recommend the ZACCAS HDMI Splitter for anyone in need of a reliable solution for dual monitors. Its exceptional build quality, impressive performance, and user-friendly design make it a five-star product in my book.
I have two monitors and one television in my repair shop, which also doubles as the entertainment quarters. At times it is useful to connect a PC/laptop to two viewing devices simultaneously during troubleshooting, and provides connection convenience negating maneuvering to the rear of monitors and televisions to insert HDMI cables, provided the splitter is placed handily.
I opted to try the ZACCAS splitter for two reasons. One, to have this extra overhaul feature permitting better monitor troubleshooting and two, to ensure the HDMI ports on the TV do not warp and degrade with frequent connecting and disconnecting. Would rather impair or break a $20 device than a $500 plus television or monitor. Laptop HDMI ports are subject to the very same debilitating results with prolonged friction. Matter of fact, one of the laptops HDMI port is loose and with each abrasive removal and insertion of the HDMI cable failure advances.
The item arrived neatly secured in a sturdy brown box, but it’s days of slumbering dormancy had come to an end. Removing the splitter, I found a subtly elegant, fully modular rectangle with the ZACCAS brand imprinted on the front face, with the additional label disclosing the devices function as an HDMI Splitter. Justified, for not everyone coming across it may understand its intended purpose. Also on the front and below the text are a pair of blue LED lights exhorting which HDMI port of the splitter is active.
The top and bottom have gracefully curved edges administering ostensible artistic quality. The bottom houses the two output ports, with the single input connection and accompanying USB-C power connection relegated to the devices top. Amiable glossy black colour with a shiny silver border around the top and bottom cover plates made of aluminum. The USB-C to USB-A power cable is included, but excluded, as is customary with most separately purchased supplementary devices, is the power brick. The provided HDMI cable with a lovely and sufficiently lengthy 1 metre braided cord linking the HDMI connectors is a nice touch.
All of these paramount details out of the way of the fire lane, let’s delve into its performance parameters. Connecting the device is easy. Simply insert the corresponding connectors into the ports, including the power connectors and BAM…you’re laptop is now on your TV or monitor. Mine is on my TV, in case you’re wondering. The splitter refuses to function without a dedicated power source, but luckily both my TV and monitors have USB-A ports from which power can be extracted, which is also immensely convenient, invalidating a need for a power brick and permitting the device to inconspicuously rest near the displays. I tested both HDMI ports independently and with a TV and monitor simultaneously. I did not notice picture quality degradation but I must warn, both of these devices are capable of only 1080p. Therefore, I was unable to test its maximum operating capability at 4K. But the two blue little LED’s do light up, so there you go!
Nothing negative to relay, really, aside from the stiffness of the cable which makes permanently planting the device comparable to feeding a disgruntled toddler. You set it down, and it moves with intentional exasperation dedicated to annoy the……nanny. STOP it, already!!!
I recommend this product HOWEVER, as mentioned before the advertised 4K capability was not tested for no test bed of such resolution is available to me at this time. I find 2.5K sufficient for my needs so why spend so much money? I’d rather buy food and make a sandwich. Mys sandwiches are also recommended.

==============================
Made of metal with a nice red finish, this is very well-built and I have no doubt can survive some punishment. For the money you get both the HDMI splitter, and a very nice, 3′ HDMI cable. I like that this unit is thinner than others I’ve tried, and stands out on my desk. I keep losing track of a lot of the black stuff I have xD.
I’ve been using it to duplicate the signal to my secondary monitor (1080p both) and projector so that I don’t have to constantly switch inputs and do a bunch of other hackery to get the job done. It does it without causing video refreshes and without artifacting, so I can’t complain. The fact that it only needs a USBC, a common and modern standard is very helpful since I have a ton of those cables near my side table that can service it. It could even be powered from the projector itself if that was at issue.
The HDMI cable is wrapped and very high quality, which is nice since my old Chinese made ones have been falling apart – it was welcome to have the unexpected things come in this kit over having to purchase all the cables separately.
It’s certainly capable of at least 1080P, and I doubt it would have trouble pushing higher, either. This combined with the recent acquisition of a wireless controller has also been very fun for enabling my emulation gaming to my projector, so I can just laze in bed and get the best of both worlds.
If you need to split a signal and want a good HDMI cable too, this is definitely an option to consider. It works well, and is well built – the distinctive colouring also avoids it getting lost – though perhaps that’s just my fault for having too many random cables and adapters lying about.

Media Used: Just some photos showing the build quality, for instance no scratches or defects in the forming of the unit. I don’t have a setup capable of showing the unit in use at the same time as capturing the monitor proving it, so I figure this is the next best thing.
The HDMI Splitter works as expected; however, it needs its own power supply to work.
I was glad to receive this product, but was very disappointed to find it requires a USB-C cable to power it. This only adds to the number of cables running around and is a major let down.
Likes
Light weight and simple plug and play design
I used it to duplicate displays and it worked great no issue
I tried to use regular HDMI cable vs 4K cable and it doesn’t mirror 4K if the cable is not 4K
when i connected it to my 8k monitor it shows 4K @ 60HZ native resolution while the product page says 4K @ 30 HZ
Dislikes
No indicator for INPUT there should be LED indicator input as well
It doesn’t upscale by default I had to go to my graphics card properties and change the display to 4K
I am very impressed with this, and it even came with a nice quality cable so that is great and usually these devices come with a low quality “just make it work” cable, but this one is very nice. I got this to split the video on my NVR system from one signal to two different monitors that support two different resolutions and this is working great for that. I am not playing 4k content, so I cannot speak to that, but for my needs, its working great!
We are only using this at 1080p, so we are definitely not stressing the capabilities. It has 100% uptime so far, so I have absolutely no complaints. I will update the review if we experience any issues.
I am grateful for this produce which allowed me to test a new tv side by side with my old one. Doing so allowed me to recognize I had purchased the wrong tv. I made a swap and now am happier.
It can run up to 4k @ 30hz SDR as tested with one direct output as I did not have two 4k device handy. But on the split, it did work well and perfectly outputted the an 1080p @ 60hz onto both a TV and a projector. The only caveats I found the HDMI plug were not allowing the connectors to fully insert as seen on one of the pictures. Although that did not seem to be a problem in my test, it could be if the end would make contact with something else metallic.
The box itself if full aluminum and quite nice while being light. It does need to be powered via USB-C to ensure signal and it worked even on a very long optical HDMI cable. There is no button to operate just plug your signal into the input and two, or one, recipient into the output channels. The device is detected well on a PC as seen on the screen shot and relay output port 1 as the connected device.
The kit comes with a 3 feet good quality HDMI cable and charging cable (not pictured as I had misplaced it during my test).
I use this splitter to mirror the HDMI display off my Surface Pro docking station. It works well when I have to connect it to two different monitor inputs. I really like it’s size. It comes with an HDMI cable and it needs USB-C for power. It’s very simple and functions without any issues. I would recommend this splitter to others that need to mirror their screens.

Thank you for reading my review
It does what it says it does but I don’t see the point. I wanted something to have multiple monitors with not just project what I already had. Not the products fault.
This HDMI splitter in my opinion is perfect. The build quality is great. The functionality is perfect and there’s really nothing to mess up. Just hands down a great working product that is at a really solid price point. Hands-down worth it and recommended.
First thing to note this is a 1 in 2 out splitter which is made for display the same source on two screens. As a test to all HDMI splitters I use the Firestick TV as a source as it is HDCP compliant and would cause trouble of the splitter wasn’t compliant. This splitter works perfectly and doesn’t heat up as much during use. The bonus unspoken feature it seems to function as a HDCP stripper and allows me to use an older display wasn’t compliant which is a huge plus.
I highly recommend this splitter for picture quality, for perfect audio sync, and hdcp stripping which makes it compatible with older displays.
