Budget TVs today come with 2 or 3 HDMI ports. If you are going to use a set-top-box, fire TV stick and maybe one more device like a gaming console, then you should be fine. But what if you have a bunch of devices sitting below your TV, be it multiple consoles, streaming devices and Blu-ray players? Those 2 or 3 HDMI ports start to feel limiting. But don't fret, there is a solution. There are a bunch of HDMI switchers available in the market for you to consider.
