Best 4K UHD HDR 18.5Gbps 60hz HDMI 2.0 Automatic Switcher on the Market!

Yes the title's is loaded but when I was looking for a good switcher, I really wish more people mentioned more, then "Works Great." Anyway ever since I got a 4K tv I have been trying to find a good switcher that actually does the job, and is automatic. I use this in my gaming room, and its for my Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and Nintendo Switch. It has not been an easy task to find a switcher like this. The two switchers I tried before, both advertised as being 4K and suitable for 60hz, and 18.5Gpbs. However the first switcher I got, did NOT support HDR for some reason, so I returned it and tried again. I got a second switcher from a different company, this time it DID work, sort of. If I manually switched it to the proper input it would work, but for some reason it would not detect when the Xbox would turn on, just nothing, if I forced it to switch it would work, but I have this switcher in the heart of my setup and manually switching it was something I really needed to avoid. Enter this switch. This switch is the PERFECT solution, it detects and switches to the right input, without me having to do anything but turn on the console. It fully supports HDR, and YUV 4:4:4. The only tiny critique I have is that it does not support Full RGB, it has to be YUV 4:4:4, 4:2:2, or 4:2:0. Full RGB is not really something readily supported on anything other than PC graphics cards I believe. However the PS4 Pro does, Automatically use Full RGB if your TV supports it. In this case, if the PS4 is sending the Full RGB signal, the picture will cut out frequently cut out. This is not really an issue anyway since PS4 games, even the ones designed for the PS4 Pro run at 4:2:0 consistently.This is a perfect switch, and if you don't know anything about RGB, HDR, or YUV thats fine. I can't imagine you'd need to for this device, it works perfectly with everything 4K I have thrown at it. Just know that if you are having picture issues with the PS4 Pro, or even Xbox One trying changing the RGB to YUV 4:2:0 and it should be perfect.

Pros
  • Home Audio Accessories
Cons
  • The product may not detect all devices automatically, requiring manual input
