Are these any good and do they function smooth? If so which one is the best?

I had a couple off of amazon that worked out just fine. Exactly what i was looking for.

Just recently found out about these. Planning on running the cord from my TV to the splitter, and plugging Xbox and Apple TV into splitter. When I cycle through the inputs on the remote, will it allow me to select them just as though they are plugged into individual ports? As it stands I have to unplug one device from the TV to plug in another device.

I don't know. All I used it for was running from Cable Box to TV 1 and TV 2. Then I had a second splitter to run from TV 2 to Projector outside. It was all for the superbowl. Whatever was on cable box was on all three.

Worked great.

No. That would be an hdmi switcher. A splitter does just what it implies.

Don't the splitters downgrade to the lowest resolution and framerate?

IE if you have one TV1 with 720p and 120hz and TV2 with 1080p and 240hz then the split signal to both will be the lower resolution and framerate.

Again -- not sure. All I know is that the picture was pretty on both the second TV and the projector and it worked great for the superbowl. Haven't needed to use it again since.

I believe that this is the case. I tried to find one that could output different resolutions, but they will typically only do one resolution at a time. I set it to 4K and my 1080p unit couldn't process it. I'm sure that someone could build a splitter that could do it, but no one has yet, to my knowledge.
