There is a fork of Hyperion for 4K HDR output and improved led color saturation called HyperHDR. I am using it with a 4K Elgato capture card on a 85 inch TV in my living room. It was cheaper than buying a Philips Hue setup, I also get all the same HDR functionality and audio outputs as the Philips. Another suggestion is Hyperion and HyperHDR can be automated with Home Assistant if you are using it. You can setup some interesting automations with it for notifications. I have mine start blinking blue if my laundry is done and it won't stop until I remove my clothes from the washer or dryer.
Hey afcragg, thanks for the awesome tips! I know a lot of people are using 4k panels so great info for them. I, personally, am going to look into the automation part with Home Assistant.
Excellent video, i might just try it out if the price is justifiable just 1 recommendation - DO NOT use electrical tape on the back of your tv - the heat & dust will make a mess out of the tape, and the glue will leach out to everything the tape touches. I used tape and when I had to remove some cables from the back, my god the sticky mess was hard to believe.
Hey Kushagranayyar, thanks for dropping by! I'll be sure to avoid using electrical tape in the future since I plan to do this project again at some point. Any recommendations on what type of tape would work best?
Thanks for sharing your build! Looks really nice. Do you know if that capture card will still output 4k to the TV if you have a 4k input like a fire TV? Amazons description of the device makes it seem like it will only output 1080p to the TV.
Hey sgtnuggets, thanks for stopping by! It looks like the one I used takes in 4k input but outputs only in 1080p. There are capture cards that do 4k30fps, which will be okay for a 4k Firestick. Alternatively, you have the option to get a 4k HDMI splitter and run one output to the capture card and the other output straight to your TV.

Confirmo, me paso lo mismo en in monitor, no importa cuantas veces le volviera a poner cinta siempre se despegaba y dejaba una capa de pegamento :/
