I have had good luck with the 2:1 up to 6:1 active splitters even with the Shenzhen specials on Amazon. Trying better cables may help with passive splitters | |

Thanks. I've added my /boot/config.txt. I have the Acer (ACR-G236HL) monitor hooked up to the HDMI switch which, I assume, means the pi is using the hdmi settings under that section. Does it use the same section when the switch is inline?

perhaps you need to force the HDMI settings in config.txt in some way - see documentation - I would suggest hdmi_force_hotplug=1, hdmi_group=1 and hdmi_mode=16 to start with ... pick a different mode if your monitor isn't 1080p of course
