Title: Better than expected, 4K pass through (only 60fps) but full 4k streaming, No drivers needed. 10/10
Review: Overall best bang for the buck. READ THIS REVIEW!So I couldnt find any info on what hz this could run at and that was important to me. I run 4k displays and wanted to record things from time to time. For my girlfriend this works great, and for many tasks it works fantastic. Read until the end for my view.Facts:Using numerous cables I got the same results on pass through:4K 60F HZ / FPS, no noticeable latency (did not measure), also I dont believe HRD passed through I will verify and update my review.1080P HZ / FPS. This is sufficient for most higher end gaming if you are doing a live broadcast. Which I will address below.I personally just use an OBS with a remote stream typically but I wanted any easy to plug in, low work, low effort solution when I needed to plug in fast. This product did EXACTLY that. For simply making a video tutorial, recording my screen for desktop use, server use, etc. This was amazing. And not only that at this price point it is cheap enough to use this to remotely manage video out on my servers. +2 points right there.I wish it would handle 4K pass through (not record I dont care about getting over 30-60FPS which I was able to get) to my main display when I play a game for when friends want to watch. But thats fine I can do a remote stream for them if it is important for me to get 4k @ 120-240hz which most cards barely handle anyway.Now the best part. I plugged this into my pc, multiple Mac machines. No setup, no drivers needed. My obs 100% picked it up immediately. From opening the box to streaming I was setup within 5 minutes. Cables were supplied. I wish they had a newer one (which they might already have) with USB c or at least a higher HDMI pass through.Due to how cheap these were and how reliable / easy it was for compatibility I actually plan to buy some for remote sever management uses instead of using long HDMI cables when I needed to do bare metal work for servers without network based management.Overall everyone told me to not buy this. Wrong, buy it until you are ready to commit to a higher priced product if you need the resolution / Frame rate. The recording quality was 100% spot on of what I saw on my gaming computer, connection was easy as can be, streaming was the easiest thing I have done yet.

Title: Worth the money especially if you are new to streaming!
Review: Very easy to use! no lag and easy to set up! hooks right up to everything and turns right on! only thing i dont like is when i turn on my ps5 it no longer turns my tv on and switches right to the hdmi like it used to but im sure that can be figured out lol

Title: this thing is great
Review: capture card works great, any issues i had were due to the settings of OBS or the equipment i used, not the capture card itself. you’re able to display video to two separate devices at once, in my case a laptop and a TV, so i’m able to record from my laptop while playing on my TV. setup took like 10 minutes, and the capture card is able to handle fast moving stuff on screen, such as fortnite and sonic racing crossworlds. the cables are also very secure, so i’m able to have the capture card dangling off my desk from the wire it came with and the hdmi cable it came with, but you probably shouldn’t do that. overall very satisfied especially for the price.

Title: Tutorial on how to use this, plus my thoughts
Review: It works great. FYI if you want to record your PS3 with it, make sure to buy a splitter first.The quality is great and easy to set up using OBS. Simply add a Video Capture Device source to Sources, and set it to “USB3.0 Video” and configure your settings to your likings. If you wish to hear it, click on the gears icon underneath the Audio Mixer section and set the Audio Monitoring to “Monitor and Output.”

Title: Easily better than the el gato 4ks junk (Save your time, money and stress!!)
Review: I know a lot of people will have a hard time believing this, but this 20 dollar budget capture card is way better than the 200$+ el gato and here’s why.I am a creator with 1,000+ subs. I know other creators who love the el gato and so I decided to get one myself. I ended up needing to buy other parts for that card just for that one to have a TERRIBLE audio delay, very frustrating to try to fix every time it stops working, not to mention that it fried one of my headsets and screwed up my video AND audio devicesThis card is WAY easier, WAY faster, WAY less of a pain in the rear to deal with and set up, and basically gives better video and audio quality. The main downside is it does not allow 4K recording of streaming itself. The best part is you don’t even need a chat link cable to include party audio.Connectivity has never been an issue at all, and you don’t need to get some crazy overpriced cable as long as you have a working hdmi cable.Just save yourself your time, sanity and money because this is literally the ONLY capture card you’d ever need. Budget friendly, amazing quality, exceeds my expectations, and this card was the reason I was able to make higher quality videos

Title: Works just as well as my Elgato capture card at 20% of the price!
Review: I purchased this capture card to do a quick project and as a proof of concept to stream some video content from my desktop to VLC player which I could view at home and remotely. At this price point which was about 20% of “Elgato brand name” capture cards, I was willing to take the risk. Over the past several months of use I have been pleasantly surprised with its overall performance, stability and video stream quality. Works just as well as my elgato hooked up on a different system. For “professional” users, there might be some limitations that I am not aware of but for casual and non-professional users, this should work just fine for you

Title: You get what you play for
Review: For the price point this is a good device it will do what it is advertised to do. However it has 2 problems, one addressed one not addressed. 1st the audio to visual mismatch, this is a MINOR issue as it is addressed in the manual it can be fixed/minimized. The 2nd issue i found far more problematic, that is the video to the TV cuts out for 1-2 secs in intense gameplay, the video to the computer it still capturing but the output to the TV would cut out. I found this to be deal breaking after using it for about a year and decided to upgrade. (and yes i tried it on 2 different TVs with the same result, one TV was a TCL the other was a Sony)was recording video from a Dreamcast-Marseille mClassic OG-Computer/OBS
