Works perfectly. Just know what you are buying,

This review is from: Cables Unlimited Premium 12-inch HDMI Cable Splitter (PCM-2275) (Electronics)
Works great. This splitter does exactly what it is supposed to do. That is split one hdmi source to two displays. Please keep in mind that the displays aren't meant to be on at the same time with this splitter. If you need both monitors on at the same time then you'll most likely need a splitter that can amplify the signal as well. I am using this on my receiver that only has one hdmi out to split to both my 50" Plasma and my 100" projector. I do not ever have both on at the same time so this works perfectly. This is by far the least expensive splitter for this application I have come across. Most others are double or triple the cost. Again, know that you are buying.

Beware of passive splitters,

!Important!: Due to the current state of the technology, results using HDMI and DVI splitters can be mixed. Especially passive splitters which rely on the individual devices ability to negotiate a 3 way handshake. The problem is not all devices are programmed to deal with this properly and will sometimes default to a HDCP error state. To put it simply, some devices will consider the splitting of a signal to be a copyright violation, which could result in only one display being shown at a time or the blocking of content altogether. This type of situation is considered to be a device compatibility issue and can not be fixed short of a firmware update by the individual device manufacturers. Before purchasing this splitter, please be advised that we have no control over nor are we responsible for compatibility issues (including HDCP issues).

THIS IS A SPLITTER - NOT A SWITCH,

Dan J. Holloway "DJ Dan" review below is incorrect. This is splitter cable. You can only connect one input device (i.e. DVD player,cable box or satellite receiver) to two output device(i.e. TV or projector).You can't connect two input device (i.e. DVD player,cable box or satellite receiver) to one output device(i.e. TV or projector)
If you need sopmething to split two input devices you will need to buy an HDMI switch.
Get the facts straight and don't blame a cable for something you did not do the research on!
