  "account": "Modern televisions often lack sufficient HDMI ports. If you own a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, gaming PC, soundbars or other devices, you'll likely need additional ports. Amazon is currently offering the Acer 5-in-1 HDMI Switch during their Black Friday sale for just $16.49 after applying a 45% off coupon code O5H9O65A. This deal doesn't require a Prime membership.\n\nTo use the Acer 5-in-1 HDMI Switch, connect a cable from a single HDMI output to your TV. Next, plug HDMI cables from your gaming consoles, smart home devices, or any other equipment to the switch's five available inputs. Finally, plug a USB-C power adapter into a nearby outlet. It's best to keep each cable length under 10 feet.\n\nThe switch supports 4K transfers at up to 60Hz and allows direct selection of each HDMI input via buttons on the device or an included IR remote control. The package is minimal and doesn't include HDMI cables or a power adapter. For the price of $16.49, this seems like a reasonable deal.",
