Need help finding a 4K HDMI 2.0a switch for HDR?

Hi I'm looking at something like this too, can those who own the legawo switch confirm that it's working with the PS4 pro on 4K 2160 rgb mode please?

Yes, mine does. I have the PS4 Pro connected to one of the inputs and it confirms it is compatible with 2160 RGB mode and automatically activates HDR mode on my TV when an HDR game is being played.

I am generally very impressed with it considering the price of some of the alternatives. Even the auto switching works very well. I have got the PS4 Pro, a Samsung K8500 UHD Blu Ray and my (non-4k) AVR connected to the inputs, and it hasn't failed to switch to the right input yet, even when my AVR comes on after the chosen input.

The only thing that doesn't work is ARC. I have never used ARC before but now that my TV has better quality from some of it's apps than on some standalone boxes, I'd like to try it. The Ligawo totally blocks ARC and it is fine is I take it out of the loop.

Still, I don't think that even the HD Fury switch supports ARC and that is several times the price of the Ligawo and has one less input.

Hi thanks for the reply, this is great news. It's my Xbox one S and the PS4 pro I wish to collect connect. Unfortunately Amazon is saying it's on pre order how is this if some people have it?

It has been at various statuses over the past few weeks. When I got my 3:1 switch, the 5:1 was showing pre-order, and soon afterwards the 3:1 was 'under review', meaning they had obviously had a number of complaints about it.

One of the reviewers on Amazon couldn't get his to work with the PS4 Pro at first, and the updated his review to say he got it working but only with YUV. Completely different to my experience, so I expect a lot of it is cable/system specific.

Make sure you buy from Amazon themselves when it becomes available rather than a third party seller because you can return it if it doesn't work as advertised for you.

Did you go for the 1-3? How long u till yours shipped I kind of need it ASAP

Mine was next day on Prime, but that was before they started showing it as a preorder. Hopefully they will sort it out soon.

I really hope so as I can't find another switch that does the same

I will be keeping an eye on this too.
Edit: The issue why it was withdrawn may have been it was being supplied with EU plugs not UK ones. Isn't it a legal requirement that all electrical equipment is sold with a proper UK plug?

I needed up ordering from eBay last night, worked out the same costs I should receive it by the end of the week

Can you post on here how it behaves with RGB 4K 60hz HDR if it can do it. And 24hz 4k HDR. Also i would be interested to know if it can really do ycbcr 4.2.2 4k 60hz HDR. Most switches can't go above 4.2.0.

If you can't answer or test all them things just tell me how it generally behaves and if it does 4k 60hz with HDR that is the most important question.
Cheers.
