Hey guys! First time poster, been a fan of Linus tech tips and am having a techish problem and thought, who better to reach out to!

 

Here is my current situation: I just moved in with my girlfriend and because she appreciates the nerd in me, is allowing me to use the office as a game room! 

 

I currently have a 60 inch tv mounted in the middle of the wall, with two 42 inch tvs to the right of the 60 over and under each other. 

 

My problem: I have an Xbox one, a PS4, a wii, a switch, a SNES classic, a cable box and an Apple TV, also but not needed an extra blue ray player n64 and a retro duo nes and snes system that could be added but I don't need to. ( the gaming is the priority, but secondarily I have a sonos play bar and two sonos play ones I need to set up but i will mention more on that below)

 

So! Here I am, reaching out to all the Linus' out there! I am trying to come up with some creative solutions to connect all these gaming/ watching devises to the Tvs I have. ( also connect the sonos, but I think the easiest thing to do is set up the playbar under the 60 inch and the two play 1s in the back of the room as the 60inch is the main television in the room. But I am open to other ideas!) 

 

SO! Does Linus or any other Linus lover like myself have any suggestions or idea of how to solve my problem?  (Ps the tvs were just mounted and on adjustable mounts so don't worry that they are slightly off center, that will be fixed!)

Welcome to the forum!

 

Are you wanting ton connect them all to one TV, or are you fine with spreading them out?
If you're fine with spreading them out, just grab a few HDMI switches. I hope you plan on hiding those cables behind some cable runs ;)

Once I know what I'm doing, I will be hiding all the cables into the wall, however I was thinking of doing a 4 port splitter on each tv, that i will create a nice looking box for or drill into the back of my center consol(black box below in the picture) and then be able to plug each gaming unit into the respective splitter when I want to use it on each device. 

 

I would like like the freedom of being able to switch and not have each tv designated to certain things. 

 

So that's why I am here and trying to gather some creative ideas from y'all!
