Repair for my "new " 4K TV

I read some reviews of this product on several websites and then went to Revain for a straight fit at a good price. My "new" brand TV was listed as HDCP compliant but only with older versions. Of course, all new input devices look for the newer HDCP signal, dropping to 1080 without a converter. I wasn't too happy when my Fire TV told me that 4k content wasn't available with my current output. That's when I started looking for a solution without having to buy a new TV (because I still liked it). So I saw some good reviews on this product and said let's try it. It came in a pretty small box and the item itself is pretty small too. Easily hides behind the TV. Plug it into the source (Fire TV), then into the TV and wow! It works as advertised! And for those who say there's not much of a difference, come and I'll show you the truth. Of course, I still had to make sure my eyes weren't fooling me, so I checked the Fire TV output and it said 4K! Yes, I am in. Performance is great and I haven't had any issues. The only small negative point is the very bright red LED, which was attached with some adhesive tape. This article is recommended if you need a converter for your "new" 4K TV.
