HDMI question
#1

So hear is the deal.

My gfx card only has one hdmi output.

My tv has three, 2 used by ps3 and ps4. The other is used by my satalite.

I like to play my steam games on my big screen rather then use my monitor. Is there a way to hook my PC up to the TV without having to unplug and plug in the hdmi each time I want to use another device/ monitor?


I have looked at splitters and switches but I keep seeing people complain about lower quality picture or even " snow " on the screen.

I could go VGA or that other old style one for the monitor.

The TV has HDMI X3 and then 2 sets of the AV inputs.

What is screen Mirroring? I would think its the same screen on 2 devices but it still dose not solve the switching in and out of HDMI's.


Andy do use a splitter for the same thing I am trying to do?

How does a receiver help me out at all?

Not being rude I just do not get it.

If you can you should try DVI. VGA works also or display port.

But it still leaves me with the issue of having 4 HDMI's that need to be plugged in to my TV with only 3 ports.

I could I guess run the PS3 on AV cables but, well yeah that sucks
