Great HDMI Switch. Recommended.
At the time of this purchase, it was (still) hard to find an HDMI switch with proper 4K 60hz support with the latest options (HDMI standards, 4K 60z, etc.). This particular product did list everything I was looking for, so for my own little experiment I went for it. This was to be tested with a 4K TV that supported HDR on one HDMI port only, versus on all 3 (this I think is somewhat common on less expensive models of most brands). So of course, the only way to "pretend" there are three ports with HDR support is to get a switch like this. The other ports on the switch were to be used with a Roku, a gaming console (both HDR supported), and also a PC to mess around with the full color modes so I could test all the ports together.The HDMI switch worked as intended. The auto-switching between the ports is pretty seamless, and the little LED's on each input (blue for active, red for inactive) show up just fine. Funny enough, since Roku's don't actually turn off, but stay on standby, it always reads it as more of an active input with the blue light, but this is not a fault of the device, just funny Roku standby stuff. It in no way affects how the switch goes to other devices. If a gaming console, TV etc. is turned on, it will auto-switch to it. Now, if all ports are in use at once, it may just go to the last device that was powered on, so the little remote easily switches between them, as well as the button on the front of the device. I prefer the little remote myself (but it's good to have both options for backup purposes).I also tested this out with a computer input to see how well it worked. When using the TV for a second display, I was able to output to the TV at 4K 60hz with a color depth of 8bpc at the "Full RGB 4:4:4 Pixel Format PC Standard (Full RGB)" mode, and the colors looked great. I could not go higher than 8bpc through the switch input or else the display would go black, even though I could tell it was trying to read it. I have no idea if it may work differently on better TV models (with the irony being that they would probably support HDR on all inputs, anyway), but that's not anything to dock points over. I was more concerned about the full 4K 60hz RGB 4:4:4 support, as that's much more important to me, and it did just that.So, in conclusion, if you're in a similar setup like I'm using with the single HDMI with HDR support and need more inputs for HDR, this switch should be able to do everything it supports. If HDR is no concern, it will still act as a decent futureproof device (for when/if you need HDR later) in a 60hz environment. Either way, I recommend this product based on my experience with it.EDIT: I ran into the funny flickering/black screen Roku issue recently, which I think was from an update, as it had always worked before. I changed the setting to 4K 60hz (no HDR) through a direct HDMI connection rather than the switch (or else it's a struggle to go through the menus with the flickering), then went into the general settings. Settings -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Display Settings, then changed the "HDR subsampling" to 4:2:0, and it worked again.Also, on the PC end of things, whether it was switching from a DisplayPort to HDMI cable (to HDMI only), or a driver/video card difference, the 4K refresh rate stays locked at 30hz now, but I believe it is not related to this device. Even though I can see the 60hz option and select it (and apply), it resets back to 30hz (despite the HDMI cable still supporting 4K 60hz and trying others). Not sure what the real culprit is. I can set the color settings to whatever I want and they'll stay, but I'm not certain as to why even the previous 8bpc "Full RGB 4:4:4 Pixel Format PC Standard (Full RGB)" 60hz option (that worked) is swapping back to 30hz now.

Good choice
Works great, will auto detect and switch inputs for you, only annoyance is glowing blue LEDSls, and the power plug bieng on the side, not the back.

Does what it's promised BUT read review for details.
HDR does get passed thru on this bad boy at least as far as PS4 and PS4 PRO. It did not however keep a good HDCP 2.2 handshake with my Roku Premiere +. This was a huge let down. Could have been the switch or could have been the Roku or a little of both. Either way HDCP 2.2 is a joke and only penalizes paying customers. This switch does work to pass both HDCP 2.2 and HDR including 4:4:4 sub-sampling and everything in between from 12bit to 8bit. Ultimately it was returned by me as it didn't meet my needs.

when I put the switch to the PS4 it works fine, but when I connect the XboxOne s
The product does not work as it was offered, or arrived with defects. I have a PS4 and an XboxOne S, when I put the switch to the PS4 it works fine, but when I connect the XboxOne s, the signal drops, you see a black screen on the TV, and it locks completely. I need to unplug the TV and the switch. Already try with different HDMI cables and the same thing happens. The XboxOne S works with 4K and HDR with 8 bits, 10 bits and 12 bits. In the specifications of the switch says that it works at 4K 60 hz HDR

This works GREAT.
I have one TV, which hangs on a wall in a living room closet. Rather than have multiple cords (DVD, VCR, computer) running into the closet I purchased this to minimize all the cords. We have the HDMI cables running to this switch, then 1 HDMI cable running to the TV. The switch is small, takes up little space on the shelf and it switches automatically to the device we have powered on. Very easy! We open the closet door, swing out the TV and turn it on, then I turn on whatever device I want to use; the HDMI switch automatically connects that device to the TV. I love it!

this is a good product to buy if you are limited in your HDMI ports on your 4K tv. Please note this unit did not play well with my PS4 Pro. It kept flashing and losing signal. Still a good product and recommended.

Xbox One S and PS4 Problems
I bought this to switch between Xbox One S and PS4 PRO as I only have 1 HDMI port that supports HDR on my TV. I works okay for the most part but I have noticed a lot of Video Glitches and will sometimes just cut out all together. I have switched out the HDMI cables and it still happens. It doesn't happen a LOT but enough to be an annoyance as the only way to fix it is to walk to my Switcher unplug the HDMI and re plug it back in. I would give this product a solid Meh. Does the job but not as well as it could.

Handles the heaviest signals with ease. Fast switching
Works better than I expected. I have two PCs and an Xbox One S wired through this switch. No audio latency (detectible) passes 10 bit and even 12 bit HDR 60HZ full 4K 2160p, along with whatever audio track you throw at it... I confirmed it will hold a steady close to zero audio latency with 2160p 12 bit HDR 2020, paired with 7.1 uncompressed PCM audio! Well Done!If there was one improvement I would like to see its dimmer or an option to disable the front lights. I've used electrical tape to black them out, but before that the bright blue LED was a bit much.
