The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The Amazon Basics HSPUH0102-SML handles 4K at 60Hz and splits one HDMI source to two displays simultaneously. The black unit weighs about 2.93 lb and is positioned as a straightforward consumer product, carrying the familiar Amazon Basics brand assurance and easy return policy.
At $16.11, this unit is competitively priced in the entry-level 4K splitter segment. The 4K/60Hz capability is printed in the product color field, which confirms support for the most common high-resolution streaming and gaming signals. This matters for buyers who own 4K TVs and want to avoid dropping to 4K at 30Hz.
The 4.1-star average from 235 reviews is functional but is the most modest rating in this product group. It points to a higher-than-typical percentage of buyers who ran into compatibility or performance issues. For a no-hassle, low-stakes install, it works. For critical home theater use, buyers may prefer a model with a stronger rating track record.
Pros
- 4K/60Hz support for modern TV and streaming device compatibility
- Competitively priced at $16.11
- Amazon Basics brand brings easy returns and reliable shipping
- Simple plug-and-play operation
Cons
- 4.1-star average is the lowest confidence signal in this price range
- No HDR pass-through confirmed in the available data
- 235 reviews is a moderate sample, meaning variability is possible
- Heavier than typical for a passive splitter at 2.93 lb
Performance notes
Listed as a 4K/60Hz unit in the color field, which is the main performance indicator available. No HDMI port count beyond the 1-in-2-out form factor, no dimensions, and no HDR information appear in the data. Weight is listed at 2.93 lb, which is on the heavier side for a compact consumer HDMI splitter and may suggest a more robust enclosure.
What buyers say
With 235 ratings averaging 4.1 stars and no recorded monthly sales volume, this unit has a quieter market presence than some competing models. The 4.1-star average is honest: most buyers find it functional, but a meaningful portion report issues that prevent a full recommendation. The Amazon Basics brand does help with returns when things go wrong.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Amazon Basics HSPUH0102-SML support 4K HDR?
The product is listed as a 4K/60Hz unit, but no HDR pass-through confirmation appears in the available specifications. Buyers planning to run HDR10 or Dolby Vision content should verify HDR support on the current Amazon product page before purchasing, as HDR requires higher HDMI bandwidth than standard 4K.
Will it work with a Fire TV Stick or Roku as the source?
HDMI splitters are generally compatible with any HDMI source, including streaming sticks. The 4K/60Hz rating means it should handle the output from most modern Fire TV or Roku devices. One limitation to keep in mind is that streaming services with HDCP copy protection may block signals on non-certified splitters, so check the current reviews for any reports of HDCP issues with streaming sticks specifically.
Does this splitter come with cables?
Amazon Basics packaging varies by product variant. The base HDMI splitter typically does not include HDMI cables. You will need separate HDMI cables for each of the two output displays and one for the input source.
