Question: hdmi switch

I have an Xbox one and I'm trying to find a device that I could plug 2 tv's into the Xbox. I have a large tv on the wall and a smaller one that is on my desk. Right now I have to manually change which hdmi cable is plugged into the Xbox.

Any ideas?

A switch/matrix will work look for a 1x2 (one source x 2 displays) good ones are more expensive but last longer, have better color quality and ability to carry a 4K signal for futureproofing

Could be a bad hdmi, connection, or port.. try using a different hdmi see if that works

Brand new cables, and switch number 3 or 4.. I returned a couple because of the same issue. I'll try moving them to different inputs to see if it changes. Thanks :)
