Anyone running eight displays from one source, whether for a commercial signage setup, a sports bar, a church, or a home with multiple TV zones.

You need fewer than eight outputs, since a 1x2 or 1x4 unit will cost less and be simpler to manage, or if you need source-switching rather than signal duplication.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Eight-port HDMI splitters are a different category from two or four-port units. At $39.99 the Orei 4K 1x8 hits an accessible price point for a high-output device. Most comparable eight-port units start higher or carry more mixed reviews.
The 4.7 star rating from 457 reviews is the standout data point here. For a splitter, where signal integrity, HDCP handshake behavior, and cable-length sensitivity tend to drive complaints, a 4.7 from nearly 500 buyers is genuinely strong. It suggests the unit handles diverse real-world installations consistently.
No resolution or HDR spec is listed in the available data, so confirm 4K output on all eight ports is supported before purchasing if that is a requirement. For 1080p digital signage and similar applications, an eight-port unit at this price and rating is an unusually good value.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run all eight displays at 4K simultaneously?
The listing does not confirm 4K on all eight ports. Check the current Amazon product page for the official resolution specification per port. Many eight-port splitters support 4K at lower frame rates but confirm this for your specific source and display combination.
Does each display need to be the same model or brand?
No, you can connect different brands and models to each port. However, the splitter will negotiate to the lowest common resolution or format supported by all connected displays, so significant capability gaps between screens may reduce output quality on your better displays.
Will the signal degrade across eight outputs?
Active HDMI splitters amplify the signal across all ports, so there should be no significant degradation compared to a direct connection. Signal quality can be affected by cable length and quality on each run, so use quality cables, especially on longer runs to individual displays.
