Incredible
I was always reluctant to try HDMI splitters that stated they support HDMI 2.1 format but Iām very happy I tried this! My tv only had 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and 1 is eARC and I run multiple consoles that require HDMI 2.1 to get full 4K 120.I didnāt need to use the power cable and it worked perfectly without the need to do anything the consoles are showing my tv supports 4K 120, HDR & Dolby Vision so itās definitely working as stated and the picture quality is exactly the same as when Iām not using this device.One great feature is it switches which HDMI input to choose when it detects a signal so it really is a set and forget device.I canāt recommend this highly enough and a fantastic price too.

Great for home
Excellent item. Works really well with the ps5 as it outputs 4k at a good refresh rate. Auto switching is handy and the box is small and subtle

Almost Flawless
This is my third HDMI splitter, the first two were around the £30.00 price point and worked on my Xbox Series X but not on my PS5 - that said, I didn't check whether the Xbox was showing as 4K 120Hz on either.Needless to say, after being £56.00 down I was still on the hunt for a working HDMI splitter for my two consoles. Up pops the OREI 8K UltraHD HDMI Splitter. I went for the 2 x 2 without audio as it suited my needs better, plus it was cheaper!Item turned up (left outside in the freezing cold courtesy of Amazon Prime deliverers!) and I immediately unboxed it and looked to get it plugged in.The unit itself is very solid and feels premium in your hands. The remote is a little plastic naff thing so I left that in the box.The UGREEN power from my last switch was still in place and fitted this unit so I used that, connected my 3 8K HDMI 2.1 cables and gave a test.To my delight I could now easily switch between my PS5 and my Xbox without having to fiddle around in the cupboard to swap out from the Samsung Frame control box. So far so good.The first downside was with the HDMI control. When I turned on my Xbox (which in turn, turned on the TV) it also turned on my PS5 and, as the PS5 powered on last, the OREI box switched over to that. That issue doesn't occur though if I switch on the PS5, the Xbox remains powered off.Initially, the PS5 seemed to be working fine - menu options showed 120Hz was automatic, although the VRR was disabled (which I was sure was enabled when connected directly). Games seemed fine but I wasn't 100% sure it was running at 120Hz.The Xbox though was showing that the TV wasn't cable of 4K at 120Hz. Not ideal but at least it's a working solution so I was going to go with it.Today though, after everything had been power cycled (except the splitter), the PS5 and the Xbox are both running at 4K 120Hz - note, I don't normally power off the TV at the mains but I did during my testing because there's an issue with the Samsung Frame when it's left connected to an idle device for a prolonged period of time, it messes with the audio. Well, cuts the audio completely! A power cycle is the only resolution, so something to bear in mind if you have any issues when first setting up.Why only 4 stars then? Well, I had a problem where I had both consoles on, powered off the Xbox thinking I can simply switch over to the PS5 but was stuck with a green screen so had to hard power the PS5 too.Given the power-up snafu I mentioned earlier, this could end up being a regular issue when I play Xbox so, to me, that warranted a 1 star removal.Could just require a firmware upgrade that I haven't looked into yet. Once I've done that I may come back and update the review/rating accordingly.TL/DR; works almost perfectly with the Samsung Frame (plugged into the Game port), Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

120hz unmanaged auto switcher. 1 stop shop.
This one believe it or not was recommended to me by my Ai š¤ I asked it whatās a no nonsense switch that does 4k 120hz switches by itself and I can plug it in and forget itās there. This and 2 other switches was recommended. The other 2 were multi switches which I felt I didnāt need as this was just for a switch 2 & the old Oled was already maxed out.So picked this. Plugged it in. About 3 weeks ago now. It switches between my ps5 and switch 2. Guys - it just works! ( as Todd says š) 120hz, everything.. sometimes the best thing you could say about something like this is once you plug it in you forget itās even there. Itās just another port. Full utility auto switches. Perfect sound.If you want a simple but high quality switcher at 4k 120hz with auto switch this is it. 5/5 would recommend fully.Actually- I DID forget it was there until this reminder to review came up. Thatās how good it works. āŗļøPs - Iām using it on my OLED 55 LG tv. It comes with a power supply. š I thought.. this aināt it! But read that if itās a powered port it should work anyway. - it did! š«”
