I want to split direct tv, apple tv 4k, sony 4k blu ray and roku ultra to a 70" Vizio 4k wil this work?

BEST ANSWER: You would not use a HDMI splitter for this. Rather, you should use an HDMI switch which takes multiple HDMI sources like the ones you identify and routes them to a single HDMI port on your TV or monitor. Monoprice has several excellent options. One great one is Product # 15263. a 5 input, 1 output HDMI 4K switch that suppors the latest HDCP standards. It includes auto switching which switches the input by sensing when you power on your device.

This is opposite of want you want. This uses one source such as your 4k blu ray player output and would be able to send it to 4 tv's. What you want is a switcher that uses the latest HDCP 2.2 standards which takes multiple inputs and sends it to one or sometimes 2 outputs. You want something like this but HDCP2.2 not 1.4. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=4067

I have a Monoprice 32" 4K 60Hz monitor and a Lenovo Explorer WMR headset and only one HDMI out on my Nvidia GTX1060. No cable or adapter seems to allow me to use Displayport and get HDR. I was told this will work but I read that resolution will be the lowest output source. I am concerned that would mean the 1440x1440 90Hz Lenovo would prevent me from getting 4K and may not even work since 60Hz is the max for this splitter. Is that correct?

on Aug 31, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Really a poorly written problem. According to Wikipedia under Display Port scroll down to Display Port Version it says the only HDR capable standard for HDR is Display Port 1.4. I assume your Monitor is the Monoprice #27772? Under those specs it says Display Port 1.2a. Now with regards HDMI using the same assumption on your Monitor #27772 the HDMI spec is 2.0 which does handle the HDR Hybrid Logo Gamma and the static HDR signal not the Dolby Vision version HDR+ according to the HDMI section in Wikipedia with the caveat that max refresh rate is 60hz. Currently I am using the above mentioned or shown HDMI DA and yes it does handle and HDR signal. I hope this and my time helps you.

Do all the TV need to support same format? can I have a 720P + 1080P if source is 1080P?
A shopper
on May 10, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. A splitter will read the common supported resolutions of both displays and require that resolution to be sent. So if you have a 720p display and 1080p display, it will either choose 720p or 1080i as the resolution.

Good But Could Be Better
Ive done initial testing (while waiting for back-ordered cabling) and the picture looked great on secondary (720p) TV. One concern, though, is that the splitter provides all ports a resolution thats scaled down to the lowest common denominator. Thus, if I add a 1080p TV to the mix, it will receive only 720p. (Discovered this in the fine print.).

It works with one caveat
I connected this directly to a DirecTV genie and from there to a couple of TVs and a receiver. The splitter works as expected with one issue. Each time I change channels, I get an HDCP warning stating my cables/TV don't support it. After 5 seconds or so, it seems to properly complete the handshake and then tune in the channel. Removed the switch from the setup, things work as normal. It's extremely annoying. Hoping others can comment on their experience once there are more sales/reviews. It does work, but adding a 5+ second delay when changing channels is unacceptable. For now it's disconnected. I'll connect when I need it; was not my intended use.
