This is when you need an HDMI switch, a splitter, or both

One of my long-standing pet peeves about smart TVs has been how stingy some makers are about ports. Budget sets may have as few as two or three ports, and models with four ports won’t necessarily support HDMI 2.1 across the board, let alone HDMI 2.2. The result is that you can accidentally cripple the features on a console, media streamer, or sound system because a company wanted to save a little cash producing each unit.
