Does not support 4K 60HZ RGB, PC and PS4 Pro buyers beware
I bought this thing because my TV (Samsung KU6300) only has one port that supports HDR and my receiver doesn't. I bought another switch called the SMARTOOO 23031 4K@60Hz HDMI 2.0 HDMI Switcher 3x1| HDR 3 Ports HDMI Switch 3x1(3 inputs and 1 output) 4:4:4 with remote control and auto switch . That one worked well enough but unfortunately whenever I would send a 4K 60hz RGB signal to it, it would randomly drop signal for a second, sometimes repeatedly, and then continue showing the signal. I went out and bought 18gbps cables thinking that would solve the problem and it didnt.So I bought this switch, which also says it supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 which is what I needed. I got sick of the other switched dropping signal. The problem is, while it does support it, its "4K@60Hz YUV4:4:4". I guess its my fault for assuming it could also take an RGB 4K 60hz signal. It does say in its specifications that it supports "Video Resolutions: up to 4K@60Hz(YUV4:4:4),Support HDMI-CEC, HDRColor Space: RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4" so I took it to mean that it supports RGB at 4:4:4 as well as YCbCr 4:4:4. I was wrong. I literally got it in the mail today, checked to make sure the remote worked (it did) and swapped out my cables from the old switch to this one. Got everything hooked up annnnnd.... nothing. No signal at all. As I said before, I went out of my way before to get short 18gbps cables, so the total cable length wasnt long. I first test was with my computer, outputting 4k @ 60hz 8 bpc RGB colorspace with full dynamic range. I got nothing. No signal. Unplugged it, tried different ports, rebooted my tv, still nothing.Same thing with PS4 Pro. Sure, this thing will work if you're using HDR which is YUV 4:2:2 at its highest. But games that dont support HDR output on PS4 at 4K RGB and this switch wouldnt handle it. No signal there either. When I turned the settings down on both the PS4 Pro (YUV 4:2;0) and PC (YUV 4:4:4) I did get a signal. But the whole point of buying this switch was to have 4K RGB with no signal drops. In my experience, this won't do it.For what its worth, My Xbox One X is set to 4K RGB 10 bit and for whatever reason it did work. Which to me may mean Xbox doesnt display that signal in the menu, or this thing just doesnt like PC and PS4 Pro.Now I'll also say, maybe its just my cables, but the reason I'm not buying new ones to find out is my old switch at least displays these signals with my current cables. Granted it drops signal every so often, but at least with the current cables it works 95% of the time. Plus that switch is almost half the price of the Vorke.Long story short, Im returning it. It doesn't work for what I specifically need it for, and honestly I'm about to get the LG B7 OLED which supports HDR on all of its HDMI ports, so this was just a temporary thing. I'll just use my old switch which should work fine for 1080p signals on that TV for my last gen consoles that arent plugged into my receiver.If you want a TL:DR-Worked fine with my Xbox One X, at least for a 4K bluray and using the menu. I didnt play games because I knew I was returning it-DIDN'T WORK for my PS4 Pro set to 4K RGB. I guess you can argue its my cables, but those same cables worked on another switch on the same setting 95% of the time.-DIDNT WORK with my gaming PC. Which is set to (via Nvidia Control Panel) 4K @ 60hz RGB 8 bpc Full dynamic range.-I did get a signal from my PC and PS4 Pro when I lowered the settings from 4K RGB to 4K YUV. So if that's as high as you need to go, you should be fine.-Also worked with my laptop, but that outputs at max 1080p.This is probably a good switch if you only use Xbox One X or never use RGB at 4K, otherwise, try my old switch (with high quality 18gbps cables) or look somewhere else.

Amazing, Better Than Dvdo Quick6R
First I have to say that I am a major Dvdo fan , I bought their Quick6R and as much as they claimed it does 4K, it doesn't do HDMI 2.0 or HDCP 2.2... so for 4K it was worthless. I then researched a product that did it all and I took my chance with this one and fell in love, first I was surprised on how small or shall I say very tiny this thing is, really small.However, it's made very well, I connected it and wow it worked with no issue what so ever. I really love the auto switching on this unit, it isn't as fast as the Dvdo but it's fast enough.This unit has no degrading of picture quality at all.What I did do was connect this to my Dvdo Micro to improve the picture quality and the two combined is an amazing combination.

Super helpful, surprisingly intelligent auto-switcher too!
I like that I only rarely need to use the remote or push the switch-input button. The device ended up arriving more intelligent than I was expecting, which was nice! Basically, it seems to sort of sense that a particular device or input has just turned on, and then it automatically switches to it. Awesome!My TV only came with one input that supports HDCP and 4K UHD. What a pain, right? Well, this little Vorke box saved me from having to shell out HUNDREDS of dollars to Samsung to buy an "upgrade" that basically does the same thing as this Vorke HDMI switch -- it allows you to plug multiple UHD devices into one TV. Now with the Vorke Auto-Switcher, I can watch my computer, or my Amazon fire contraption, or my UHD Blu-Ray box without having to keep manually switching the wires on my TV whenever I want to use 4K or UHD with something that is copy protected. I am very glad that I made this purchase!!! ..And very happy with the manufacturer and the reseller.

Worked for about four months before crapping out
While it worked, it worked great. Bought it to route all of my HDMI sources through my sound bar (for 5.1) and through to the TV. Auto-switching worked just as expected, always bouncing back to the Chromecast Ultra after I turned off whatever other source I was using.Fast forward about 4 months, and my Chromecast Ultra, when plugged into the switch, delivers a nice static-y snow picture. Tried different plugs in the switch, tried resetting the switch (left it unplugged overnight), nothing worked (the Chromecast works fine when plugged into the TV directly, btw). Other sources worked fine, so I shrugged it off. Until my Steam Link, also plugged into the switch, stopped sending audio. Again, plugged directly into the TV, it too works flawlessly.This switch worked fine for a few months, and now it's crapping out in a variety of very frustrating ways. I'm upset that it didn't last, because it was exactly what I was looking for. There's no warranty information in the package either, or contact information for the company, so no way of getting an RMA. Which is a shame for the amount of money I spent, thinking it meant I was getting a quality product.Buyer beware.

Very Temperamental Product
I've been through three of these. The first worked incredibly well for 9 months until one day it just didn't. The second one didn't work immediately. The third seems to be working well but it sometimes stalls or pauses or misses the signal from which input to switch to.

Solidly built and as advertised for the most part but spotty Dolby Vision HDR functionality.
Well constructed, solid and works great in general, however, lost the last star because my Apple TV stopped recognizing Dolby Vision through this switch and would only work in HDR 10 mode. Not sure why it decided to stop recognizing as it works fine in Dolby Vision HDR when plugged directly into the TV. Otherwise it's a good product.

Good but not quite there!
I have Xbox One S and DirecTV genie connected to LG OLED TV. I have found it does not support 12 bit color or HDR sometimes. I have all new cables rated for 18Gbps throughput. It sometimes gets glitch and have digital artifacts (blocks) on the screen or picture freezes. I find I have to pull the power on it to reset the box to get it to work when this starts.
