What customers say
Customers highly value this switcher's advanced HDMI 2.1 features, including 4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz support, making it ideal for modern gaming and high-end setups. The inclusion of eARC and dedicated audio extraction is a significant benefit for complex audio routing. However, the positive reception is tempered by reliability concerns. Many users report intermittent signal dropouts and HDCP handshake issues, particularly at maximum bandwidth. This suggests the hardware specifications are strong, but firmware refinement is needed for consistent performance. It is a budget friendly option for advanced users willing to troubleshoot and use certified cables, but it may not suit those seeking a simple plug and play device.
