Our final choice is slightly different in that there is no 4K support, which, in some ways, dates it badly. Not only can you ensure you switch to the correct input, but you could potentially keep an eye on the game in one corner of the screen while you do something else. With 4K and 2K input coming as standard, perhaps it’s most intriguing and mostly unique feature is the inclusion of a Picture in Picture mode allowing the user to view another HDMI source in a smaller window in the corner.ĪT face value that may not sound like something you would use all the time, but we found it to be incredibly handy.

We lose an input from some of the more expensive models, but four should still be enough to satisfy most out there.

While none of the units were are covering here are domineering in size, the True 4k is the thinnest on offer, easily being able to be squeezed away out of sight in even the smalled of places. The Zettaguard 4K (you will be getting the idea now that the mainstream companies you have previously heard of don’t tend to hang out in this arena) is a great little option for those of you who are budget-conscious. This is a great model, and if things such as HDR are unimportant to you, you may as well save a few dollars on our Best Pick choice and pick this up. It’s automatic option seamlessly switches between your active inputs, but there is an included remote control in case it all goes wrong and trips itself up.

It offers 30fps or 60fps options, meaning it’s an excellent choice for gaming with, be it on your TV or PC monitor, and it also has you covered on Blu-Rays as well. This model is the first to offer 4K, so just be careful you have the right one in your basket before you hit Buy it Now. With its five inputs, this reliable little box will solve the majority of your connection problems and leave you to worry about what to watch or play, rather than trying to get your frustration levels down. When you do find a model and brand you can trust though you tend to stick with them, and that is the case with this great little 4K switch from Kinivo. There are also many variations of the same box with slightly different internals. This can sometimes trip things up if you have two concurrent inputs, but as long as you avoid this kind of AV mishap, you will be just fine.Īs we alluded to in the introduction, there are many switches out there that simply fail to live up to the job.

If you lose that though, you can get off your seat and just push the buttons on the front of the box.Īside from all this manual shenanigans, the switch has auto-switching capabilities by detecting which port it thinks is currently live. They tend to get put in one place and left mostly alone.Ī final benefit is the remote control that allows for easy line-of-sight switching between the five inputs.

The housing is also metal, so it should withstand the test of time, not that these are units that traditionally take a hammering. It’s packing five inputs and each supports 4K UHD playback as well as HDR support, which just about future proofs it for the foreseeable future unless you are into the idea of having a massive 8k TV when they become the norm, but we have a few years to that point yet.Įach individual port is gold plated, although don’t necessarily be fooled by that sale point – see our Things to Consider box later on in this guide. If you have a decent 4k setup, be it monitor or TV, then this little box from the awkwardly named SGEYR should become your new best friend.
