asked on

how can I extend or add HDMI interfaces for a VIZIO television set?

Hello and Good Morning Everyone,

           I wish to add a third HDMI device to my VIZIO television, but, it only has 2 HDMI ports.  That said, I am wondering if there is a device which can be hooked up to my television which would extend or add HDMI ports.  In concept, it would be similar to a USB hub.  But, I am unsure if such a device exists for HDMI interfaces.  

           Any shared thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

           I look forward to hearing back from everyone regarding this question.

          Thank you

           George

Thank you everyone for your links and suggestions.  This is certainly great news!!!.    With respect to the Input on the television remote used to navigate between HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 and so forth, how will the HDMI switch along with its interfaced devices be identified within the menu?

Will the HDMI Switch with remote be compatible with the Nintendo NES Classic console?  

Thank you.

George
It should be (no guaranty) but outside of the selection for the device, the rest of the HDMI connection should just be standard.
Yes it will be.

Hello and Good Evening Everyone,

        Thank you very much for your excellent feedback and resourceful links given in reply to my question.  While everyone certainly did answer my question, I decided to order the HDMI switch with remote recommended by ZeropoingNRG at https://www.amazon.com/GANA-Intelligent-Switcher-Splitter-Supports/dp/B0739GSKV2?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B0739GSKV2.  I believe the setup of this device will be straightforward.  If I should have any questions or concerns about it, I will open up a new post.

          Thanks again everyone and have a great evening :-)
