the only issue with it is that it has HDCP protection on it, so you would need to turn that off on PS5 and PS3 is straight up not compatible without a hdmi splitter that bypasses it. Xbox and Nintendo systems are fully compatible though, but there might be some HDCP setting for them i don't know about.

Works just as described, one of the better game recording devices out there. It came super fast since it shipped to my door, and I'm surprised how easy it was to get this up and running. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to record gameplay or anything on their TV generally.

HDMI 2.1 Finally / No Surround-Sound Passthrough

Great new addition from Elgato. Same form factor as the HD60X, but with some much needed support for HDMI 2.1. The capture-card is still manageable through Elgato's 4K Capture utility and supports HDR to SDR to mapping on the device itself. So, it's great if you using OBS/SLOBS, as you don't have to worry about keeping 4K Capture open or setting up any additional filters when you add the 4KX as a source. Unfortunately, Elgato still does not support audio formats other than PCM 2ch for recording/passthrough. I would have really liked to see, at least, passthrough support for 5.1ch surround. I'm still very pleased overall, and would recommend this to anyone interested in a top-quality addition to Elgato's capture-card lineup.

Flawless 120Hz on PS5, no signal interruptions

Works perfectly for PS5>LG OLED C9>Laptop. Minor, easily correctible issues at startup, easily fixed, read at the bottom.
I was using the LiveGamer 2.1 and it would work great, except when playing Destiny 2 on PS5. Whenever the game switched from 60hz to 120hz for PVP I would occasionally be stuck on a black/blank screen and had to recycle TV inputs or the power to the capture card to restore the image. This could happen multiple matches a day. There are no issues with my cables or setup, this is 100% a capture card issue.
Bought the 4k X with the hopes it would fix my sole problem and I've gone a full day without issues. I can also tell this device takes full advantage of the 3.2 USB C port since it shows it operating as Superspeed rather than High Speed like the LiveGamer 2.1 did.
There were two minor hiccups on startup with the PS5 (no signal + ps5 ALLM (low latency) wouldn't turn on) so I recommend updating the firmware first. To update firmware, hold CTRL while clicking the gear cog/settings icon. This unlocks a few options under device in the capture software. I updated firmware and checked use HDR tonemapping on device.
-Make sure Input EDID is set to Display. You may need to adjust your PS5 video output settings all over again. Without Input EDID set to Display ALLM wouldn't turn on. Don't forget to Apply changes, then OK.
Check these things below for PS5 users:
-HDR - On When Supported
-Adjust HDR - For LG OLED users I recommend 13 clicks up from the as far down as it goes for the first 2 settings, then set the 3rd and last screen to as black as possible.
-Ensure your TV input is set to PC, make sure OLED Picture is showing as HDR/Game, ensure dynamic tone mapping is On (avoid HGIG as very few games take advantage of HGIG), white balance somewhere in the warm setting (your preference)
-Back on PS5 make sure VRR is set to Auto and apply to unsupported games
-Resolution is automatic then test 1440p output as this gets disabled any time the ps5 or tv detects a different signal like when going from ps5>tv to ps5>capture card>tv.

I stream on Twitch and YouTube from time to time and this makes game capture/streaming from anywhere easy! I stream with a MacBook Pro M4 and while it can take some extra steps vs Windows, it was worth it. Paired with Rode Go Wireless Mics, you have a Portable Podcast setup or a Gaming set up anywhere you go. Highly recommend.

Worth Upgrading for the PS5 or Xbox series X

Worth the upgrade if you care about refresh rate and if you have a 1440p monitor. I upgraded from the Elgato HD60S+. In my case I upgraded to a 1440p 240hz monitor and the HD60S+ does not support 1440p and it only does 60hz which is a problem since the ps5 is able to do 120hz.
