if an LCD TV only have 1 HDMI port, what splitter should you buy?

it accepts only 1 HDMI input. So say you need 2, what can you do? any particular splitter that is good?

I have a monoprice 5 in 1 out switcher that works fine.
I think it was $50 with a remote.

this is an inexpensive 3 input, http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=8149

Here is a listing of all kinds that they have,

btw, you don't want a splitter, you want a switcher. A splitter is used if you want your source to be split to multiple Devices or screens.

I bought a Kinivo 5 port HDMI box from Amazon a few years ago and haven't had any issues, also comes with a remote for manually switching inputs, it can also auto-switch based on activity.

like mthesar, I ordered the Kinivo, but the 3 port one. I will never have more than 3 hdmi devices hooked up at once personally, and my screen has DP and DVI/analog/component if need be. I was looking at cheaper splitters but a lot of them had a good percent of the reviews noting issues. I figured I'd go with one with decent reviews so it isn't a headache.

3 port splitter $30

Get an auto switching one, they are fantastic. I thought I was going to have to replace my expensive receiver because it only had 2 HDMI (but served my needs in every other way). I connected a 5 port switcher to one of the ports and now the receiver just stays on one input and runs on autopilot.

If this is for a computer, keep in mind if you plan on exceeding 1080p. Well same goes for TV as well.

There are 2 HDMI device, a game console, and a blu-ray player, they want to connect the output of those 2 game console to that box, and have the output of that box goes to the HDMI 1 port of the tV

if you guys are confident w/ auto sensing, then I'll go w/ the auto

thanks for the info
