Question

Split screen possible with HDTV?

by May 27, 2013 6:44AM PDT

I have been looking at new HDTV's and was curious is there a way to split the screen 2-4 ways to have multiple inputs on the same screen?

Hypothetically a 4 HDMI slot TV with xbox and television going at the same time? I am not looking for picture-in-picture as one of the inputs would be significantly smaller than the other.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Not as far as I know

Only if you run it through some specialized video equipment/software can you gain this effect. It wouldn't be built in any consumer plasma or LED/LCD I have seen of late.

It's called a video processor.

For now, HD Video Processors cost so much that as I'm heard you hear this before... "If you ask how much..."
