ATEN VS0104 video splitter VGA 4x VGA

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

ATEN’s VS0104 is one of those “boring but reliable” VGA splitters, and for £79.64 ex-VAT it’s priced like a tool that’s meant to disappear into an install and just work. If you need the same VGA signal sent to multiple displays (boardrooms, training suites, reception monitors, basic AV distribution in older environments), it’s a sensible buy because ATEN generally does good job with signal handling and build quality. You’re not trying to do anything clever here—just split—so you’ll typically get fewer headaches than cheaper no-name alternatives.

I wouldn’t buy it if your use case is more demanding: long cable runs, mixed/unknown source quality, or scenarios where you’re expecting crisp results at the edge of VGA’s limits. VGA is inherently analogue and can fall apart with distance and certain GPUs depending on the refresh rate and output stability, and a splitter can’t “fix” a bad source. Also, if you’re planning new installs, it’s hard to justify VGA-only gear when HDMI/DisplayPort is usually the way forward—this is best for refurb, legacy systems, and straightforward “mirror this screen” needs.
