All green checkmarks on Xbox One X - UPDATE: HDR gaming is a no go
I previously had an hdmi splitter to send the Xbox signal to both my TV and to a gaming monitor on a nearby desk. Recently, I upgraded to the Xbox One X, meaning my 1080p splitter is no longer viable if I wanted to take advantage of 4k and HDR content. One snag in my plan is that my monitor is only 1080p, so if I were to use a splitter, the signal would default to 1080p. After resrarching a bit, I settled on this switch. Much to my surprise, it worked. I got all green checkmarks, meaning full 4k and HDR was being passed through to the TV. With the Xbox off, if I hit the button to switch to the monitor, the Xbox auto detects the resolution and will display 1080p. This is exactly how I expected it to work. Because I am now using a switch instead of a splitter, I'm no longer able to send video to both devices simultaneously, but that isn't a big deal. Just need to remember to have the Xbox off before you hit the switch, so you don't have to fiddle with the video settings. Now I'm able to game in 4k on my TV, or move over to my desk when my family wants to share the room with me. I'll update this review if my experience changes, but for now, this is perfect for my setup.UPDATE: Turns out this switch cannot properly handle 4k HDR. Although it hits all the green marks in the xbox system display settings, you will get intermittent blackouts when playing 4k HDR content, specifically games. I have not noticed this behavior during video playback yet, but will continue testing. For gaming though, there will be a 2-3 second video blackout when playing in a high dynamic contrast setting. I've mostly noticed this while playing Sea of Thieves. High contrast moments, like staring into a setting sun reflecting off a dark ocean, will cause the black outs. Unfortunately, this makes the game unplayable for me, and I have resorted to manually swapping cables when playing HDR games. This is still a worthy switch if you don't need HDR, but I have to drop the rating down as its pretty useless for me at this point.

When it comes to HDMI Cables Size Matters
I was a little skeptical purchasing this, but with Amazon's return policy I figured why not. I have an almost new Yamaha receiver, with 5 HDMI ports. Only 3 of them are HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 compliant. the other 2 are HDMI 1.4. I have a TiVo, PS4 Pro, and an Apple TV 4K. using these ports. I was given an 4K UHD Blu-Ray player for Christmas, Which also needed to use an HDCP 2.2 port. Although my 4K TV has an extra port, It only outputs Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS. No Dolby Atmos or DTS X. I purchased this and connected to my AV receiver. I connected the PS4 Pro and the UHD Blu-Ray player to the other end. At first I thought I received a defective unit, because the screen on the PS4 would flicker. I was using high quality HDMI cables. However, it says it can use cables up to 15 meters (around 16 feet). What I found out it seems to be 15 meters total. I was using three 6 foot HDMI cables for a total of 18 feet. I found a 2 foot HDMI cable and connected to the AV receiver and the switch worked flawlessly. Both the PS4 Pro and the UHD player will output 2160p HDR content, Dolby Atmos, and DTS X sound. It doesent auto switch, but the PS4 Pro is used more than the UHD player so I keep it on that and switch it when I need to. All in all it's worth the price.

The switch itself works fine, but even though I am using high quality ...
The Jabor HDMI 2.0 Switch has limitations, but it is inexpensive and IT WORKS!I am using 4K Samsung 50 inch and LG 43 inch TVs as computer monitors at their full 4K resolution. I am using the Jabor HDMI Switch to switch each monitor back and forth between two computers equipped with GTX 970 video boards.This Jabor switch is bi-directional, which is critical. My Nvidia video boards require bi-directional communication in order to recognize that my TVs are full 4K monitors. I tried several highly rated, much more expensive HDMI switches that were designed for home theater use before I tried the Jabor switch, but they would not work with my Nvidia video boards because they were not fully bi-directional.The switch itself works fine, but even though I am using high quality HDMI cables, I have not been able to get it to work with cables longer than 6 feet. If I remove the switch, much longer cables work just fine.This switch is inexpensive, but its reliability is questionable. The first switch I purchased failed after about 2 months of use. The mechanical button switch just stopped clicking.My second Jabor HDMI Switch has been working without problems for about a year. When this switch finally dies, I will just buy another one. It is so inexpensive, that I keep a spare switch on hand.

It works for the most part, but there are some issues to be aware of . . .
It works, but ... it's always on.It's definitely bi-directional (which is what I needed) -- which means I can use it to choose which TV my computer is outputting a signal to -- but there's no way to turn it off without unplugging the computer from it (like I only want it to output to a TV when I'm gaming...) -- which kind of leaves me right back where I started -- physically changing which cable is plugged in.I might take it apart and try to add an "on/off" switch to fix that issue, or I might try adding two in series (with only one of the outputs hooked up) -- but in the meanwhile, it's a step in the right direction.Additionally, sometimes 4K works, and sometimes the TV and Video card get confused and it gets stuck in 1080p... (I think it might be because one TV is 1080p and the other is 4K, and maybe swapping between the two confuses the computer as to what video modes are available?)

This works for bypassing the PSVR unit to get HDR on PS4
The problem I had was that the Gen 1 PSVR does not have HDR passthrough. Using this switch you can output to 2 different channels on your TV, one for PS4 with 4K HDR and one for the PSVR in 4k without HDR (PSVR limitation).This works for it, you just have to push the button to get get the output that you want. You must connect all three HDR cables to have sufficient power as there is no external power source.I looked for ages for one of these that had HDR pass through so here it is. Price is good too.
