im looking for an hdmi switcher for my pc setup. tired of swapping hdmi cords to go between my 32in desk use tv and my 55in 4k for when i want to game in my recliner or bed. but idk whats a decent brand, or whats considered expensive or cheap.

functions id like be 4k60hz capable. very few games i play can be done at 4k so its all 1080 or 1440p 60fps.

at least 2 hdmi out to go between both tvs.

if somehow it can have a remote so i dont even have to get up 😅

id like to stay under 50 if possible but its not a set budget

Most of those also do keyboard and mouse too.  You don’t have to use that but though. They’re called kvms. There might be mechanical one for just hdmi monitors though.  I don’t know about the $50 though.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Yup.  It a 1 to 2 splitter.  Just turn it around.  Notice how I said mechanical kvm
