TruthTeller69 - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
Literally doesn’t work. Lights don’t turn on. Was trying to connect my PC to TV and neither the PC or TV could register that they were connected. I removed the switch and plugged to the TV directly through HDMI with no switch as a test and it worked. So it has to be the switch

My goal was to connect both an XBox Series X and PS5 Slim to my TV and do so at 4K@120Hz. Despite supplying it power via its USB connector and the product advertising 4K/120Hz support, it simply didn't work. For one of my consoles, it would support 4K/60Hz and the other just sat there flickering on/off (every few seconds). It simply couldn't handle the signal. The 3 cables I used are all 4K/120Hz HDMI 2.1 cables that support up to 48Gpbs and work fine when connecting the consoles to the A/V receiver directly. The only culprit left standing is this Phillips 8K switch.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Philips model SWV9173GR/37 HDMI switch. We're sorry to hear that it didn't meet your expectations for connecting your Xbox Series X and PS5 Slim at 4K@120Hz. It sounds like you've taken all the right steps by using high-quality HDMI 2.1 cables and ensuring the switch was powered correctly. The flickering issue and the inability to maintain a stable 4K@120Hz signal for both consoles are certainly frustrating. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it along to our product development team.

Does not support 4K at 120htz as advertised. Using HDMI 2.1 cables it still had bottlenecks that caused loss of HDR10 and Dolby atmos support.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tested on a PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. It takes about 2-3 seconds to switch between devices. No noticeable loss of image quality. Noticed a few milliseconds of input delay on PlayStation 4; negligible to most people, might be a deal breaker to competitive players.
Smooth and easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This two port 4K HDMI switch was very easy to install. Very easy to switch. & has a USB-C power cord. It works great with My 4k TV, my Blue Ray player, & My Apple TV. It took only a minute to install them I was up and running. No more unplugging my 4k devices. Now it just takes a quick second to switch my devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the size of this product. Having to fit all the cords behind the tv is hard enough! The only thing that was an inconvenience is not having enough HDMI cables when setting everything up but it does work great! Now I can get more out of my tv inputs!
It does what it says it does!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This two device high definition hdmi switch is very quick and smooth. You can easily switch between the two HDMI devices over to your Television’s HDMI port. The 8k Ultra high definition makes the experience very nice. I definitely recommend trying especially the Elite series. It looks very good in my living room because of the slim sleek design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this works very well. Connect two devices to one HDMI and switch between the two seamlessly. This switch works well to allow multiple HDMI port devices to connect to one TV without rearranging. It's quite compact and I like that it doesn't require a separate power source
