Kinivo HDMI Switch 4K HDR 550BN (5 in 1 Out, 4K 60Hz HDR, HDMI 2.0, High Speed 18Gbps, IR Remote, HDCP) - Compatible with Roku, PS5, Xbox, Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, Cable Box

Short review (to the point) Plugged in, powered up, and my Xbox lit green for 4K60 + HDR10 instantly. Apple TV 4K looks perfect. Auto-switch works; nice that I can disable it. Solid build, proper 18 Gbps/HDCP 2.2, no handshake fuss. If you need reliable 4K60 HDR across multiple inputs, this is the box. Long review: After two failed “4K” boxes that down-negotiated my signal, the Kinivo 350BN worked the moment I plugged it in. My setup: Xbox Series X and Apple TV 4K into the 350BN → TV’s HDMI 1 (UHD/Deep Color on). Powered from the included wall adapter. Results: Xbox shows green checks for 4K 60 Hz, HDR10, 10-bit in the TV details screen. Apple TV runs UHD 4K flawlessly; with Match Dynamic Range/Frame Rate enabled, HDR content pops and menus stay clean. No flicker, no HDCP tantrums, no color banding. Why it works: Proper 18 Gbps / HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, HDCP 2.2, and an auto-switch you can toggle off if a streamer stays “awake.” The remote is simple, port LEDs are readable, and the metal chassis feels solid. It’s not a 2.1/120 Hz device—and that’s fine for a 4K60 HDR setup like mine. Tip: Keep HDMI runs short and power the switch from the wall, not a TV USB port. If your TV has a per-port “UHD/Deep Color” option, enable it. Bottom line: Zero handshake headaches and full-quality 4K60 HDR10 from both Xbox and Apple TV. This is the one I wish I bought first.

I bought this about 2 years ago for a complete overhaul of My room and forgot about it until a few days ago. I have a Nexigo 2K 120/144hz 16in 16:10 Portable Monitor that I use in My temporary front room office space. This thing works absolutely flawlessly. When you turn something on or off, it automatically switches to the device that just turned on or back to the last device that it still detects is on, which is awesome. My laptop and Xbox Series X both detect the display and are able to display at 1440p 120hz, as if this device doesn't exist which is perfect. My PS4 has always had problems with this monitor as it doesn't have any sort of 4K mode, and it's 16:10 which puts Black bars at the top and bottom. The PS4 still tells Me "1080p (Unsupported)" & HDR is on but not supported somehow, that's no fault of the HDMI hub. With or without the hub, there are Black bars on both consoles because Microsoft & Sony didn't make them with 16:10/800-1600p in mind. 1440p 120/240hz is the highest I like to go as 4K seems unnecessary and it's hard for My eyes to pick up any differences. I love how out-of-the-way this thing feels, it comes with a remote and a switch on the device itself but the way it switches between sources has made it to where I've never had to touch the device or the remote. It's awesome. The fact that it has 2 extra HDMI ports for any other devices I might want to plug in is insane. In the future, I'm sure I'll end up plugging My new desktop I'm building and capture card into it. Usually when something says "5 Port" it usually means that one of those ports is in the "Out" port so you can really only connect 4 devices to a display but no, it actually has 5 In & 1 Out so you can hook up 5 devices at 4K 60hz, 1440p 120hz, 1080p, etc. This device seemed a little overpriced at first but I can't believe how seamlessly it works and I now feel it is worth every penny. I'll be getting another one for My room in the future!

EXCELENTE PRODUCTO

If you ever need to buy a HDMI 2.1 Switcher coz your TV HDMI 2.1 ports are taken and want to add more devices that support HDMI 2.1 features. I recommend this little device, I have tried few, some work but not the best and some are advertised falsely. This is little pricy, but goes on special at times and is super fast, supports everything with beautiful picture with no slow down and also automatically switches to the right port once the device has been turned on, and also comes with a remote. I bought mine from Amazon.

Installazione veloce e funzionale

A parte la modalità autoswitching che non posso utilizzarla causa XBOX One, come specificato anche nelle istruzioni, è perfetta: disattivatelo altrimenti non fa funzionare lo switch. Non ho effettuato una configurazione standard perché invece di andare al TV ho collegato l'output alla mia soundbar e funziona tutto magnificamente anche con Dobly Atmos e 4K@60Hz, come dichiarato. Tanto per capire la diversità dei dispositivi che gestisce senza nessun problema ho inserito: Dune HD 4K Pro (lettore multimediale), Sky Q, XBox One, lettore Panasonic 4K allo switch ed infine l'output l'ho collegato alla mia soundbar Vizio SB36512 all'ingresso HDMI IN. Infine collegato HDMI ARC della soundbar al televisore in HDMI ARC. Come già descritto funziona tutto correttamente senza interruzioni, lag o altri problemi; anche per l'audio nessun problema di alcun genere anche per quelli più recenti (Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD e Dolby Atmos). L'unica avvertenza che mi sento di dire è utilizzare dei buoni cavi HDMI: inizialmente avevo dei problemi di lag, refresh, si collegava e scollegava di continuo l'immagine, cambiato il cavo tutto ha ripreso a funzionare correttamente e senza nessun altro problema. Inoltre lo switch è riconosciuto anche dal mio telecomando Harmony quindi lo comando con questo dispositivo senza bisogno dell' autoswitching o del suo telecomando. Spero di esservi stato utile

Looks a good product, well built and works great.
