I haven't actually started on the project I have this device in mind for so you'll have to temper my review a bit. I have a shoe store and I quit all print media advertising some time back. This saved me a bit north of $500 per month. So, basically I have $6000 per year to put towards another advertising vehicle with all other things remaining equal. My idea was to do a large video wall in the front window replacing most all of the traditional arrangements of shoes and props on a stage. That in itself is nice because the sun damages leather when it bakes over 30-days in a window display so about half-way through it becomes necessary to do the mirror-image display with the mates of all shoes. That's a fair bit of labor no one, including me, at my store looks forward to. More than this, as the front of my downtown store faces a very heavily traveled US HWY (HWY 31) there is the chance for between 10 and 20-thousand impressions daily. This is why I'm getting close to having enough money reserved to build a 2X2 video wall of 85" HDTVS. So, to be sure this unit would be proper I approached my next door neighbor. He has a large music and sound operation. He employs several full-time installers and electronic repair technicians. I wondered if he could test it out somehow and he agreed saying yes he could. The results he said would be fine. He said it did all the basic splitting without any glaring glitches and had minimal, but useful, options that insure a good outcome for my intended project. He's even getting a proposal up for the project w/ and w/out me supplying the 4 HDTVS. When I told him the price for this he thought I'd made a mistake as he said he has not seen one remotely close to the price of this simple yet solid unit. Sounds like, based on his knowledge, we have the lowest price entry for the splitting electronics to build a video wall. I'm sure some people will opt for splitters with more features, but if basic works for simple repetitive advertising I can't see the need to spend more.

Very simple as I made 2 75in tvs into 1. It's an awesome pic. GREAT FOR SPORTS

This provides effortless splitting - I was able to set it up in less than five minutes.Connect a couple of monitors, connect source, connect power, voila - you're up and running. Now just press the mode button to cycle through the different modes (and watch as your media gets stretched into very strange shapes if your output resolution isn't suitable for it).I have two sets of monitors (as in, 2 identical of one model, 2 identical of another) of roughly the same size that I want to try the full 4-way split with but I can't set that up right now because of what they are currently being used for so I had to settle for testing with only two for now. The quick verdict is that it works great for outputting a full mirror signal (1x1), and it is super smooth to switch between the modes. The (all metal) box does not get overly warm either.More In-depth, I tried to find a proper resolution to output from my Macbook Air but could not find one that worked without looking stretched in some direction unless you used the 1x1 or 2x2 modes. Maybe this is just a limitation of what macOS lets you output, because I feel like it would likely be possible on Windows or Linux. That's not to say this isn't useful with a Mac, just that it's going to work best in a 2x2 (or 1x1, if, say, you want to make a jumbotron analogue) configuration.A couple of things to note:This keeps monitors connected to it awake while on, regardless of whether the source is sending signal - I guess this thing just always sends a signal.Which in turn makes the fact that there is no power or sleep button more poignant - if you're using this commercially and the signal is never going to be offline, you're not concerned about this. But if you're using this at home, it is a little annoying to have to disconnect the power cable physically just to make sure your monitors get to rest properly.I did not test the sound throughput because I have my sound set up well already, nor did I test the DVI input - because it's 2025.Overall, I like it! Really simple setup, and everything seems to work as intended.I honestly feel inspired by the possibilities, I think I might try to make an arena-style jumbotron splitting the signal in four directions (1x1 mode) with some of those portable 15" monitors!
