Solid product at half the price!

** This review was written on the first day of purchase and updated a few weeks later to add support for next generation consoles. ** I bought this HDMI splitter after losing my Gofanco device due to a flood. My main use for this is to split the PS4 Pro signal between my 4K TV (to use as a streaming box) and my Elgato 4K60 Pro (to stream and create content). I have a cable coming out of the console into a splitter which then splits the signal to the TV and capture card. I can't tell the difference between this and the half price Gofanco. It doesn't look that clean, but the construction is ALSO GOOD and the whole block looks like a solid metal brick. It doesn't break HDCP, so Netflix and HBO Max can continue to play. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solution to a problem like mine and at less than $25 it's a bargain. With the PS5 and Series X coming out in less than a week, I'll update this review to answer a few questions: Does it support 120Hz (1080p doesn't support 4k120), do the new consoles look just as good? through this splitter and general remarks on long-term use. A quick note for anyone using this in my situation: be sure to set the EDID switch to "TV". I'll admit I'm not sure what it does, but without it your TV/monitor won't receive a 4K signal. UPDATE 11/15/2020: Writing this update after using it with an Xbox Series X and PS5 with a 60Hz TV and a 1440p 144Hz monitor via this splitter in CoD: Black Ops Cold War. First, the game looks great on both monitors. I don't see any loss of color when using the splitter. However, 120 Hz is NOT supported. I've tried swapping cables, flipping a switch, everything and my Xbox/PS5 isn't passing 120Hz to my monitor.
