Fancy a Switch but I’m out of HDMI ports

Any suggestions to get around this? I don’t know if such a thing exists, but ideally I’d like something that automatically switches, pardon the pun.

Good thing you don’t actually need a TV to use a Switch then, I hardly ever use mine docked.

You’d need something like this if that’s what you require.

Cheers @-gonzo- exactly what I was looking for. My TV has 3 HDMI ports, taken by PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and Virgin. Really fancy a bit of Nintendo shenanigans, that should do nicely.

Just realised that adapter only goes up to 1080p. That’s ok, I’ll feed the Switch and Virgin into it, not bothered about 4K with Virgin and obviously the Switch will never need that.

You can get 4K versions on Amazon.

You sure, shows 4K on the box?

I bought this from Amazon

4K HDMI Switch TeckNet 3 Port HDMI Auto Switcher Box Support 4K 3D 1080P For PS3, PS4, Laptop, PC, Xbox One, Blu-ray Player, DVD Player, TV and More https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005SP6ARO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uzz7Ab93M1HRP

Works an absolute treat, automatically switches between whatever source is on and has a selector if you have more than one source on attached to the hdmi switch. Outputs up to 4K as well and is really a nice premium looking and feeling bit of kit data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
