All the biggest and best TVs that money can buy these days come with more HDMI ports than most people need, but those with older models aren’t so lucky. We know the struggle that comes with not having enough ports to plug things into, and that’s where a handy little HDMI switch can save the day.
Right now, Amazon is selling an Anker two-port switch for just $10, a full 50% off the original price. Just $10 to avoid switching HDMI cables all the time seems like a great deal to us.
This little switch takes two HDMI devices and allows you to plug them into a single port on your TV. Switching between those devices is as simple as pressing a button on the switch itself, so it couldn’t be easier.

The switch supports all of the main features we would expect it to, especially at this price — it’s easy to spend considerably more on a switch of this type. Here, Anker has added support for 4K content at a 60Hz refresh rate. Support for HDR, 3D content, and more means this switch will handle everything the majority of people need it to.

Why this deal matters
We don’t know how long this deal will last, but we do know that $10 is a small price to pay to avoid having to dangle yourself down the back of your TV each time you want to switch HDMI devices. It doesn’t support high refresh rate gaming, but at this price, you really can’t go wrong.
