thank you for the video you helped me make the decision to go with this hdmi splitter.
You’re very welcome!
Thank you a lot, i really needed this, not much people talking about this devices
Glad I can shed some light in an affordable solution for those who need it 🙏
Thanks for this review. I'm going to order one. I have a Samsung Q900R that has the One Connect Box. It only has 1 hdmi 2.1 port. Not only is it a hassle physically switching the PS5 and Xbox Series X cables from the box, it sometimes messes with the output settings for that port on the TV. This for me seems like a very good solution to fix that.
It’s been a very popular device among Samsung owners with a single port.
Great video! Might have to consider getting one of these 😎
Thanks Cass! I’m so glad to have both consoles into a single HDMI 2.1 now :)
Just need Sony to get off their butt and bring VRR to the PS5 lol
I've had one of these since I got my Sony OLED last year, the device works great! For me, I don't have to connect the USB cable as it gets enough power from the consoles, it's been running like that for the last 6 months thereabouts.
That seems to be the consensus from most owners in regards to the USB.
I've had the same model TV for a few months, and always thought it only had 1 HDMI 2.1 port. I was trying to figure out how to get a Series X and PS5 to play nice with a switcher, and as soon as you said it has 2 ports I said "NO WAY", dude, you indirectly solved my problem, thanks! 🤣
That’s sick! Hahaha
Thanks for the video my Canadian man! Giving you a shout out from Toronto. I have a Samsung QN90A and only have the 1 HDMI 2.1 port after I also use my Earc for surround. Hard to think that a 5K tv after warranty doesn’t have all 4 ports in 2.1. BUT I’d rather have a super bright gorgeous picture tv over a LG C1 that got burn in playing Spider-Man on my PS5 after 4-5 hours play. I subbed also and keep pumping these videos. You have a great presentation and explain things in ways that we all understand them. I think I’m grabbing this switcher for my Series X and PS5 also.
Thanks so much Scott! This switcher is certainly a hidden gem for those of us with a modern TV with limited ports. I just purchased a Denon S760H receiver with 3 40gbps ports, so I no longer need the switch myself; however, a $50 solution is much better than a $800+ solution for most people for sure
@@qwazyd0gg yeah this is the first time I didn’t do the receiver thing as I went with a Dolby Atmos Soundbar and wireless rear speakers and wireless sub by Samsung. It’s there 900 series.I just wasn’t a fan of speaker wires every where in my new home. And I must say it fills a large room quite nicely like a movie theatre. When connect with Object Tracking Sound of the Neo Qled it shoots sounds 32 different directions. Stay safe man and keep those videos coming and I will be ordering that switch!
You’re a legend Scott! I’m looking forward to seeing you in the comments again in the future :)
Nice video man! You haven't had any issues with the picture cutting in and out at all? I've had 2 different switches, one of which was an Insignia brand and had really good reviews. Both have had issues going to a black screen periodically. Just want to make sure this doesn't happen with this one? I've also tried multiple HDMI cables and it's always the same result. BTW, is there a particular HDMI 8K cable you recommend from Amazon that is certified and won't break the bank? Thank you!
Hey Matt! I haven’t had this switch too long, but I’ve played probably about an hour of NHL 2022, couple hours of Far Cry 6, couple hours of Forza, and a couple hours of Fortnite and I have had NO issues what so ever across my Series X or PS5 so far. No dips in audio, no weird glitches with VRR, and my CEC has always engaged providing I had left the correct input enabled with the manual switch. For cables, I’m using almost exclusively UGreen cables from Amazon. I have 3 10 foot 8K cables in my rotation and each has been solid for me so far!
@@qwazyd0gg Thanks for the advice and quick response! Much appreciated!
My pleasure! Thanks for hanging out with me in the comments 👊
@@qwazyd0gg BTW, just got the Hisense U8G 65" last week for $849 (US). Great TV and a steal for the price. I watched so many reviews and was hesitant because I had the LG B7 OLED and wasn't sure it would hold up in picture quality, but I gotta say it's a great TV with all the new features it has to offer.
Insane panel for the money for sure! Make sure you update the TCON asap as it makes a huge difference 👊
Love gaming on my U8G!
will be getting sony x85j which only has one hdmi 2.1
the other one is eArc as well. will get this switcher thanks to this vid!! ill be hookng up my series s and ps5
hope it works perfectly fine
It will work like magic my friend!
@@qwazyd0gg cool! thanks!
awesome content u got around here! im gonna sub!
Thanks Ty! Means a lot :)
Hey man great video! I have a LG G1 Evo Oled which all ports support hdmi 2.1 4k/120hz. I was curious if you think this device could double as a HMDI extender. Looking to plug my Amazon Firestick 4k Max into the source end and run another hmdi into the tv.
This one wouldn’t, but the same brand as a bi-directional model for 1 source and 2 hdmi 2.1 switchable outputs.
@@qwazyd0gg thank you!
Love ya vids and I wondered if it will enable allm and nivida and g-sync on my lg 165 hz monitor with 2.0 pirts
As long as those features are hdmi 2.0 features then it should pass them through. If those features are reserved for hdmi 2.1 complaint panels, then this switch will match the feature set of the panel itself.
I have the issue of only one earc port feeding my sound system, and my sound system does not support hdr. I've tried hdmi audio extractors with no luck.
Cool videos man !!! , cuestión …
Y have a tv with only one 2.1 ( arc) connected to the Apple TV ( 2021)
Can I use my Bose smart sound bar 300 simultaneously?
Since this is a splitter, it can make two ports out of a single port, but still cannot run those two ports simultaneously. I would recommend just using the Apple TV in an HDMI 2.1 port and reserving your ARC port for the Soundbar.
Thanks man , I just check that my LG C1 has 4 ports 2.1 🤦🏾♂️….
It sure does :)
Hey, many thanks for the recommendation, do you know a splitter with the same passthrough capabilities ?
As far as I’ve seen through research, I haven’t seen any hdmi 2.1 splitters that send the signal to two devices at once. I’ve only begun to see the switches that split to one or the other at a time.
@@qwazyd0gg yes me too, I have a LG C1, and I would have love to use hyperion, but splitter are not good enough yet.
With the bi-directional, I can go from a ps5 to two displays correct? If so, if one of the monitors isn’t 120hz, will the ps5 change hz automatically?
Oh dang, I’m not sure. One would assume that it will take a readout of the tv during the hdmi handshake; however, I never tested things to know for sure.
Perfect bro leaving super like up friend keep it up well played greetings friend🤙🙌✌
👊👊👊👊
Thanks for the kind words XPlay!
HI Thanks for the video, is there an advantage in having the bi directional version, Hoping to Connect my PS5, Xbox Series X and my Rtx 3080 and if works, I may sacrifice the Xbox ,hanks
Bidirectional means you can put two outputs in one input, or one input into two outputs.
Ok thanks for the help
Hey man thanks for the review. Just to make sure. I want to connect my pc with 3090ti to 2 displays. 1 of which an LG c2 and the other is a samsung 4k monitor. It would work 4k woth 120 hz right?
It sure will :)
@@qwazyd0gg appreciated. Thanks for quick response
Is there anyway that you could find a Displayport 1.4a to hdmi 2.1 that supports VRR/G-Sync? in my case, i have a LG C1 and a 2080ti and im trying to see if theres an adapter that brings 4k120hz 10bit RGB HDR with VRR enabled. Alot of people talking on the internet that you cant enable VRR with any adapter.
To my knowledge there isn’t an adapter that exists
Had the same issue. Just ordered one of these today.
Nice! It should work very well for you!
@@qwazyd0gg just hooked it up. Works very well. No loss of sound (dolby atmos), VRR or or display on PS5 or Series S.
It’s a pretty solid little device, and incredibly priced
i want to use this for my PC to my LG CX TV. Will this device allow g sync to work?
It should as it works with VRR.
Thx for video, i am having same issue now, i have 2 ports eARC/120Mhz on my Philips 55OLED806 for my PS5 and XSX, looking for soundbar dolby atmos required eARC ...
You could use this to go arc into your soundbar, then split your consoles between the switch :)
thanks for this review, Andrew. QQ....want to run my Xbox series X, Apple TV and Bell Fibe (shout out from Guelph, ON) though my Denon AVR-S540BT 5.2 Ch 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver as I don't think I'm ready to upgrade. Looks like i just need this switch - am I missing something? (too easy)
Not missing anything at all! Just remember that it is a manual switch, so you’ll need to push the button to go between inputs. You could also rehome the Fibe box and use the FibeTV app on the Apple TV to save an input… Sorry, ex Bell employee… Old habits die hard, lol
@@qwazyd0gg good point re fibe box. Thanks for the reply. Liking the channel!
Now we need a HDMI 2.1 4K/120Hz splitter and capture cards
Agreed!
Hi, useful video, I would like to know if this is working at this point and connect it to A card capture!?
Still working! You could put it to a capture card; however, where it’s a switch and not a splitter the two feeds can’t display an image simultaneously to play on one feed and record on another.
Does it work if I connect my ps5 and Xbox Serie S HDMI Cable with the splitter connect to my ASUS Monitor ? And it my monitor has 144Hz
The Xbox will do 1080p 120hz, and I believe the PS5 will do 1080p 120hz as well, assuming your monitor is not a 4K 144hz monitor. It it’s 1440p monitor, then Xbox will do 1440p 120hz but then ps5 will not.
@@qwazyd0gg My Asus Monitor has 144Hz and I check the Xbox settings it says I 120Hz 1080p and my ps5 settings I check it says 1080p 120Hz as well so is the splitter works for that.
Yeah the consoles don’t go past 120hz
@@qwazyd0gg do I need buy a other HDMI for 8K or can I use my console HDMI Cables ?
@@qwazyd0gg so it won’t work for my monitor I just wanna know that
Hello!
I have a question, I'm streaming through the xbox aplication in my laptop but I play my xbox in my 55 inches screen, with this item, would I be able to conect the xbox to both, the TV and a video recorder to stop streaming in the app?
thanks!
This lets you switch between two devices on one HDMI port back and forth, but not at the same time. I don’t know if that’s what you’re looking to do or not.
@@qwazyd0gg thanks! correct, i want a way to be able to see the xbox in both my laptop and my screen
You’re looking for a splitter and not a switch. Very hard to find a 4K/120hz splitter for simultaneous dual feed output
Does this cause any lag in game? I mainly got it for my ps5 because I primarily play the series x since my fiends have mainly Xbox’s. But my wife loves to play games on the ps5 as well. Unfortunately the Sony x900h only come with 2 hdmi 2.1 ports and I am already using the arc for my soundbar.
None that I have noticed. I actually just uploaded another switch in a video today that I liked the build quality of a bit more
@@qwazyd0gg dang. Lol. Thank you for the fast response though man.
No problem 👊
did you use original xbox series x cable? i just got rhis switch but with the xbox lost sgnal very often, te screen blink...i change the hdmi cable for one from amazon 8k and now its betrer....theres something wrong with the cables?
I’ve heard a lot off people saying the included cable is garbage with the console. I use 10ft UGreen cables myself as they are routed through the wall.
Can you use this with a single PS5, 4K Monitor and Capture Card instead? I want to get 4K 120HZ signal to my monitor to play whilst my stream gets for example, a 1080P 60HZ signal. I know that there is natively no capture card that can achieve 4K 120HZ (I have the Elgato HD60X) but I am told buying a HDMI 2.1 splitter is a workaround for this..
The issue is a switch like this will only do 1 feed at a time, not both. I haven’t seen any splitters that will do 120hz 4K simultaneously
What’s the highest quality of a switcher with a digital optical port as well I have the jtech audio 4K, do they make it any higher?
With optical is tough. I’ve seen them but never researched them myself due to no personal need. Wish I could be more helpful with this one.
Im planning to buy this switch but im not sure if the 120hz will work on my 60hz tv
Is there a audio extractor for 1440p 120hz to use with series x??
That I’m not sure tbh. Maybe something you can use via headset audio out; however, I’ve never looked into it personally.
Why does everyone say not to use an HDMI cable longer then 3 meters (9ft)? I need at least a 15-30ft cable to connect one to my monitor and one to my TV but I don’t want to pull the trigger on this until I find out if I’m able to use a cable 30ft long or not. I would really appreciate a reply, thank you!
Anything 10ft and above is typical labeled “up to 48gbps”, meaning the longer lengths can degrade signal strength, resulting in potential loss in functionality. I’ve successfully used 10ft UGreen cables, but I would be hesitant going any longer unless you can find an “active” cable that usually runs off a power source.
@@qwazyd0gg thank you so much for the quick reply and ok sounds good, that really helps!
So wait am I understanding this right? If your TV doesn’t support 120hz this device will allow it to? I currently have a LG Oled A1 and it’s a 60hz TV and doesn’t support hdmi 2.1 what will this device do for me?
Unfortunately no device will upconvert your hdmi 2.0 to 2.1. This simply splits a single hdmi 2.1 into 2 separate ports. If you plug it into a 2.0 port then it will only run at 2.0 spec.
Maybe this is a stupid question.. Is this device scale resolution down to a 1440p120hz display? My monitor is a 32" 1440p display and i was hoping to use this to switch between my work laptop and my series X as the two input devices. Figured i should make sure before purchasing it.
Thanks!
It will go to the max of 4K/120hz, but I’m unsure about scaling back and forth. I think it all depends on the output device.
@@qwazyd0gg Thanks for the reply. I think I'll contact the manufacturer directly and see if they can provide some guidance.
If I can get a reply I'll post their guidance here.
That would be awesome! Thanks Ben :)
@@benjaminthomas6117 response yet?
Hi ,, if I plug this device into the back of my ps5 ,, could I use the 2 hdmi ports to switch between TV and gaming monitor
As long as you buy the bidirectional version, then absolutely :)
Hi, instead of using ps5 and series x, could we use any console and an earc soundbar with this splitter. One hdmi 2.1 port will be used only for ps5, other 2.1 port will be used for xbox and soundbar with this device. I wonder if this is possible.
Unfortunately the switch does not actively utilize both connections at once :(
Thank you for your quick response.
You’re welcome :)
Just got a new monitor that supports 1.4 i wanna plug my switch into the display port but both sides of cord ain’t equal is there some kind of adapter that can make the switch go into the display port
You need a DP to HDMI adapter. They’re fairly cheap on amazon
i have a 4k 60hz monitor with freesync hdmi 2.0, but ps5 does not support it,is there any device that tricks that into hdmi 2.1 for vrr support at 60hz?
Unfortunately not. You cannot exceed the hdmi chipset on your main board in the TV
I’ve been looking into these as I’ve run into the same exact scenario. There are automatic ones out there so you don’t have to press the button. The bottom doesn’t interest me. I want to be able to turn on my ps5 or SX it it switches. Anyone have any experience with the auto switch ones?
I’ve only used the two that I’ve covered on the channel and neither auto switched. Instead I ended up just upgrading my AVR to have proper 2.2 support.
So this would fix the issue I have A 144z monitor with a series x and don’t get 120fps ?
That depends. Some 144hz monitors only service 144hz via Display port and not HDMI. If you’re monitor will run higher refresh rates via HDMI as well then you should be able to go direct from the console or into this switch to push the frame rates from the console to the monitor.
Can it work as earc extractor? My AVR has hdmi arc and I need something to extract atmos from my tv’s earc port.
That I’m honestly not sure. I would assume so though.
So i do not have 2.1 ports on TV i have only 2 normal ports and one ARC... so if i plug this into ARC i will be able to gain 120hz gaming for games that support that range?
This will not make 2.0 ports 2.1 compliant. Some 2.0 ports are capable of pushing 120hz at 1080p providing your panel is 120hz, but you won’t get 4K 120hz over hdmi 2.0
@@qwazyd0gg i have sony bravia with 4K resolution...So no matter if i plug that into ARC i still not gain any of 120hz no matter if it's on 1080p or 4K... so i need TV or monitor with 2.1 port and on that case i do not need this thing because i only have PS5. Thanks for fast answer mate.
Correct. You would need an upgraded TV if you’re looking for 4K 120hz

You can’t surpass the capabilities of your TVs port. So this will act as a switch, but still only up to 4K 60hz.

It is possible to gain vision /vision for gaming with one of these? My sound bar only a single port (arc) Xbox monitor aux out monitor to TCL av port sounds awful…
To be clear not my monitor tv or sound bar let me enable it for Xbox. So yes I’m asking if one of these revivers are able to allow.. vision for the set up I have that nothing else will let me check the box..
These will never exceed the capabilities of your TV unfortunately, so it can not add features not already present on the set.
@@qwazyd0gg thank you so so so so much for a quick clear answer the wants I have I can’t find legit info for.
I assume that means to keep hdr (Xbox ss to monitor) I have to return the 2k165 for. Low mid gaming 4k 240hz.
I belive however… the my sound bar only having a single arc and optical port so I am unable to do Xbox hdmi out.. into soundbar arc then another out to the tvs arc.

Hey quick question, when I game I want my gaming laptop to display on my monitor but I use my ps4 on the monitor.. is there anyway possible this switch will be able to switch between laptop and console to the monitor?thank you :)
Yes! It is bidirectional, so you can have 1 hdmi going to a source and 2 hdmi feed in that you can switch between.
@@qwazyd0gg thank you so much I feel more comfortable on buying one now haha :)
Does this still work if you’re using a capture card? If so does it connect to the In or the Out port from the capture card?
It depends on what the capture card supports for a connection. Which one do you have?
@@qwazyd0gg The 4K60 Pro M.2
So the mk2 only supports hdmi 2.0, so no VRR or 120hz. You can still run from console to the switch, then switch to mk2 in, then out from mk2 to the TV for 4K 60hz gameplay passthrough and recording.
@@qwazyd0gg So no way to use a splitter and get 120 gameplay and just record in 60? That’s a shame, what capture card you suggest for higher refresh rate?
@@haies09 The main issue is that this device is a switch and not a splitter, so only one of the outputs are live at any given time. You won’t be able to send one feed to the capture card and another to your tv at the same time :(
I don’t believe there is a card out yet that fully supports 2.1 capture. Alternatively, you can still use this switch and send one feed directly to the TV for leisure play and then another feed through the switch and capture card, then into a second input on the TV and play at 60hz for when you’re recording. You just can’t play and record 120hz 4K at the same time. Hope that makes sense.
What happens if I plug this into my gaming monitor that’s only 144hz HDMI 2.0 port? Will it transform it into a HDMI 2.1? Will I still need to buy a whole new display with HDMI 2.1 specifically to get my 2.1 display? Or will this adapter turn my 2.0 into a 2.1?
It will downgrade the connection to hdmi 2.0 @ 18gbps. You’ll need a true hdmi 2.1 monitor for all the new features available with 2.1.
@@qwazyd0gg damn.. thank you for clarifying it for me before I spent money on it.
Anytime 👊
Any tips on how to convert dp to hdmi 2.1 with vrr? 2070s with a q80t. Running 4k 120hz without hdr feels bad.
Not personally but I know there’s been testing done by users in the comments.
Will this work on on an asus pg27uq monitor with one 2.0 hdmi? I want to hook up my ps5 and x on it?
Yes it will, it will just operate at 60hz 4K or 120hz 1080p if your monitor supports high refresh rates
If my tv doesn’t support variable refresh rate would this fix it and also does it help me get 1440p 120hz
It won’t give you anything above your TVs max feature set unfortunately
I have a Samsung TU7000. It only has HDMI 2.0 ports. Can I use this to enable PS5’s new VRR option? Thanks
Unfortunately not. It will only reach the maximum potential of the port on your TV.
I have the tcl 55635 6 series and it only have hdmi 2.0 ports
It will still work with 2.0 for basic 2.0 features
Hey can someone help me understand? So the Xbox series’s 2.1 hdmi goes in the “display” and another hdmi cable goes to tv? If so can I put it in hdmi 2 because my tv doesn’t have 2.1
You can, but it will only provide 4K/60hz switching as it will not exceed the factory capabilities of your TVs video port.
Wait. So will this allow me to convert my HDMI 2.0 in my Hisense laser UST projector to HDMI 2.1 when i plug in my PS5?
Unfortunately it will downgrade the switch input to 2.0 to match the source.
Would this work for the Huawei Mateview GT 34'' soundbar edition on a PS5? Can't seem to make 120hz to work even with a 2.1 HDMI cable.
Not if it won’t work natively. Not all hdmi 2.1 ports are certified for 120hz 4K. Some have older incompatible boards that use the bandwidth only for extra bandwidth headroom for eARC
@@qwazyd0gg I see. Is there a workaround like an edid emulator?
I’m not sure to be honest :(
I have the same switcher and a sony x80j. Will it work on that
It will pass through the 4k/120hz signal, as well as any other compatible features your panel may have such as VRR, ALLM, DV, and more.
So, will that be able to hook up my Xbox series x to the CRUA 27" 144hz/165HZ Curved Gaming Monitor.
Possibly. I only say that as most monitors above 120hz are achieving so by DisplayPort and not hdmi.

Xbox doesn’t run off DP. You’ll still be able to get 1080p and 120hz via hdmi from the Xbox. That being said, consoles (at least for now) do not target higher frame rate. If you’re also running a PC into that monitor I would have the pc run via DP and the console via hdmi.
I have a A/V receiver that has 6 HDMI ports but only one that has the arc, i have a Samsung projector that has one earc and also a PS 5, they are all hooked up through the A/V. I'm getting 4k picture but only at 60hz.
Will having this unit remedy any of the problems of NOT getting 120hz?
I have it set up as the projector goes through the arc of the A/V into the earc of the projector and the ps5 going through HDMI 2 of the projector. does that sound right? i'd like to somehow get 4K @ 120hz the cheap way without forking out 2 or 3k for a new receiver right now. any possible solutions would be Greatly Appreciated.
Thanks
That honestly all depends, is your projector capable of 120hz with hdmi 2.1? If not, then you are locked to 60hz. If the projector is 4K/120hz compliant, then this receiver is capable of delivering up to 4K/120hz over 3 of the 6 hdmi ports, and earc over all 6

I believe so, I have the Samsung Lsp7t projector and I’m almost positive it’ll do 4K @120. I just wasn’t sure about the whole 2.1 thing if it’d upconvert from 2.0 on my receiver. Thanks for the speedy response and all the help!! I’d definitely have to order this hdmi converter from online. Best Buy in Regina doesn’t carry such technology🤣
It won’t convert a 2.0 unfortunately. Upon looking at the specs, the Samsung site and most others are very vague; however, crutchfield is properly indicating the projectors capabilities, which are up to 4K/60hz with no support for 120hz, VRR, ALLM, or hdmi 2.1 :(
@@qwazyd0gg aww that’s Disheartning!! Well thanks for the help.
You’re very welcome Rex. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news :(
Hello, I was wondering I have a tv that is 1080p 120hz. If I got this switcher would my tv display 4K 120hz?
It will max out at your TVs native resolution unfortunately
Do switchers impact quality at all?
Honestly not that I’ve noticed, providing at least that they offer the appropriate passthrough features you’re looking for such as ALLM or HDR.
Can I use this from ps5, to switch between 120hz screen and 4k tv? Plz respond
You could split your signal between the 2 panels yes. It will not stream the video to both simultaneously, and my worry is the video settings will constantly revert back to 60hz every time you use the non 120hz panel. It’s worth a shot to try though.
Hi from Belgium, Can I use 2 HDMI 2.0 ( PS5 and PC ) connected to my monitor. My HDMI have 2k 120hz resolution (my monitor too ) so will I have 2k 120 hz or 1080 120hz ?
Thank you
Depending on the output device, you can do up to 1440p at 120hz with hdmi 2.1
@@qwazyd0gg and 1080p 144hz with HDMI 2.0 ? My monitor have 1 entry HDMI 2.0..
Yup, as long as you have a 120/144hz output device :)
@@qwazyd0gg Thank you so much
I have a 1440p Gaming Monitor, will this support 1440p 120hz for Series X & PS5 or are there any other HDMI Switches that support 1440p 120hz?
This does anything 4k/120hz and below, including 1440p/120hz
Sorry dog. I asked a question earlier today. I just have another one. Am I able to plug in a HDMI 2.1 into a HDMI 2.0? I’m sorry again.
2.1 is backwards compatible to 2.0; however, you will only receive 2.0 speeds and features.
Apologize for a possible duplicate question…could this support 60hz in and output at 120hz if the monitor supported it?
The in and out have to match, meaning it won’t up convert a 60hz in signal into 120hz out.
I’m not sure if I need this but I’m trying to use a capture card on my Xbox series x which only has one hdmi port
I don’t need a switcher
Does this device turn your outdated tv to have better resolutions?
I wish it was that easy
Hi! Will this pass through dolby atmos content?
Yes it does :)
I wonder if you were to turn off your Xbox first then turned on your ps5? Would have the hdmi be recognized?
It does not unfortunately :(
@@qwazyd0gg I have my Apple TV 4K hooked up to the one HDMI 2.1 port/arac on a LG oled and have 2 homepod speakers pushing all my audio from my tv to those speakers but needs to use that port for aarc. So only leaves me one port for my ps5/Sx. Hoping to get an auto hdmi switcher 120htz. And how I have my audio run, I wouldn’t be using a receiver so that’s out.
Is the dual HomePod setup worth it? My buddy has one and wants to try a stereo setup but don’t want to invest as you can’t return them once their opened.
@@qwazyd0gg the HomePod setup is awesome. It isn’t the HomePod mini. Full size. Have both mounted on the wall. Wires hidden. Sounds so great. Dolby Atmos. Works really well with the Apple TV. I just lost the one hdmi 2.1 port as it shares with the Aarc. This setup is in my bedroom. I have a stereo setup in my living room with a receiver.
Like to find a hdmi 2.1 splitter so both outputs are on at same time
That will be a hard find for sure.
Can you use this on a tv that only have hdmi 2.0 ports
Yes you can; however, it won’t introduce any 2.1 features
Can I plug the single hdmi in to my ps5 and the other to in to 2 separate tvs
Not with this specific one; however, they do have a bidirectional option that lets you switch between two input devices like two screens from one source.
my tv has two ports:
hdmi and hdmi (arc), where should i plug this device?
2 ports? It should have 4 in total, with 2 being HDMI 2.1. It doesn’t matter since you use unless you’re using a surround sound or soundbar setup.
Since it works with Xbox series X can I have Xbox series S and a Blu ray player plugged into a 1440p monitor that only has 1 hdmi port?
Sorry if its obvious but I’ve only found out about these today and still learning about all the different versions
No problem at all :)
It will work fine for anything 4K/120 and below :)
Can you use the iMac as a monitor with this ?
I don’t believe so. Only certain MacBooks work as a display for an external source and this splitter is designed to accept a 4k/120hz input from 2 source into 1 singular hdmi 2.1 port.
Does this work on monitors as well For example Asus gaming monitor
Yes it does
Wait so if my tv doesn’t have a 2.1 hdmi port can I still get 120fps using the converter on my ps5?
Unfortunately not :(
Thx for your information
does it support arc for 5.1 surround bar speaker?
Yes it does
Having trouble finding a good 4k 120 fps/8k 60 fps that will auto switch with my PS5, Series X, Switch, and Chromecast
I haven’t seen any that toggle via CEC and I feel they’d probably cause more issues than benefits tbh
Can I use this to connect a tv and a monitor to one xbox series X?
Yes you can :)
Hey, will this work if my tv only has hdmi 2.0 ports? Can I use this to upscale to hdmi 2.1?
It will not exceed what your TV is capable of, so it will downscale to 4K/60 based on your Tv
@@qwazyd0gg my tv is a 240hz 4K QLED. But it’s a Q7 series from 2017 so all the HDMI inputs are 2.0 so I can’t game at 120fps. Would this manipulate that?
It wouldn’t unfortunately. It will downgrade the hdmi ports on the switch to HDMI 2.0 which will max out at 4K 60hz
@@qwazyd0gg I figured. Thanks for the prompt replies my man!
My pleasure Will! Sick last name btw! (It’s mine too, lol)

How do you like your Sony?
@@qwazyd0gg it has been great. I have had it almost a year now. I just wish that it had 4 hdmi 2.1 ports. The biggest gripe that i have with it is that i can't have dolby vision at 4k @120. I have to go into settings and swap hdmi formats and with the lg oleds.. you don't have to do that.
I have Samsung tu7000d tried using this with Ps5 and my cable box and it didn’t work , my cable box only worked when my Ps5 was on and the picture quality was Terrible
How were you powering the switch?
this seems great but the fact I have to switch over every time is a deal breaker for me
I haven’t seen any auto switching models yet :(
I have a tv with 120hz but HDMI 2.0, will this make my have a HDMI 2.1 port and output 4K at 120
Unfortunately not no :(
@@qwazyd0gg 😔 Thnx for responding bro life saver
Anytime NISI 👊
Is it normal that mines does not need the USB port it automatically turn on as soon as I put my hdmi on my tv
I haven’t tried mine without and assumed it needed it
Mine works without the USB also
Does this device give you 120hz even though your tv is only 60hz?
It will only match your TV Hz up to a max of 120Hz. So on a 60Hz panel it will max out at 60Hz on the device.
i have ask (i can use ps5 for streamlabs ) ?
Yes, but you’ll need a PC running streamlabs and a capture card to bring the feed from the console into the PC
Nice video

I have this and it doesn't work when I turn my series x on. But when I turn the ps5 and the series x on at the same time then I get a display from my xbox. But it only works when both are turned on which is frustrating.
That’s super strange. Are you plugging it into external power at all?
@@qwazyd0gg yes I am I've tried with and without and still the same result don't know if I have a faulty switch or something wrong with the xbox.
Have you tried reversing the cables to see if the Xbox launches video in the known working hdmi port?
@@qwazyd0gg yes I've switch from input port 1 and 2. It's super wierd like I'll have both of them turned on and have it set as xbox for the output and as soon as I turn off the ps5 or unplug the ps5 hdmi it loses signal.
@@qwazyd0gg but the ps5 works completely fine even with the xbox unhooked or turned off. I'm just super confused by it, haven't seen anyone else have this issue
Does it flicker to black screen and turn
game mode on and off sometimes when
playing Xbox series x and ps5 ? I had a bi
direction switch from BolAAzuL and it
causes that black
flicker sometimes when playing on my
Samsung q90t
Not while I used it no. It locks in ALLM on first boot and didn’t flicker at all during use. Flicker is usually a bandwidth issue, so maybe your last product wasn’t getting full bandwidth via hdmi 2.1 or the device itself couldn’t handle the hand off.
So if you had that issue how do you fix it ?
I just bought the same one u did the cabledeconn and it’s doing the same thing
It could be a bandwidth issue with the cables you are using. Do both cables perform as they should when running directly into the tv from the console?
Yes I tried it without the switch and connect it directly and it works just fine
Will this work with tcl 5series, Sony a8h?
I believe the series 5 is only native 60hz 4K. The A8J has 4K 120hz so this will work to its full potential.
Great video man, I have a question but don't know if you can help me. I have the same model you do and hooked my PS5 and XSX in it, playing games on my PS5 works great, but when I switch to XSX I can navigate no problems on the menu, store, settings... but when I click to play a game (physically ou digitally) it kind causes a "bug" on the input menu of my tv (btw it is a Samsung QLED Q80T) where no image appears more and a message saying the game mode is on and off nonstop.
Really weird. 🥲😔
I get that sometimes too actually. I usually have to hit the Xbox menu button on my controller. If I hit it once to bring up the menu, sometimes the video will load (Horizon comes back everytime after one press), and sometimes I have to blindly navigate back to the dashboard for video to come back. I don’t know why it happens, but it does.
Is this item made with 4 or more ports and dose it support ps4, xbox 1 and switch.?
It supports anything hdmi 2.1 and lower; however, I haven’t seen anything higher than a 2 port in HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.0 has a ton of multiport options though :)
Cool will the ps5 work on the 4 k I have that also
What model do you have?
I have the launch day ps4 not a pro I guess I'm question is this do I need the 8k switcher to play the ps 5/ 4 /3 and Xbox 1 and Nintendo switch ? Or can I use a HD 4k switcher ?
4K switch is fine and this specific one and one’s like it are only needed for 120hz in 4K.

Hahaha! Gotta love the Apple TV's recommendations eh!
@@qwazyd0gg if that's the story you are going with haha
🤷♂️ lol
I have tv of 60 Hz 2.0 can I get 4k 120 hz by using this ?
Unfortunately not
So this ultimately doesn’t automatically switch between two consoles
It does not. It sticks on the last input and needs to be manually switched.
@@qwazyd0gg thank you , do you know if there’s anyone of them that actually do ?
I haven’t seen any 2.1 compliant ones that automatically switch; however, I also stopped looking once I invested into a 2.1 compliant AVR solution
