sofakng Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'm looking for a (cheap) HDMI matrix for my home system that supports HDMI 2.0 (18 Gbps) and has a lot of inputs and a few outputs. Something around 8 inputs and 3-4 outputs would be perfect but the standard size seems to be 8x8 for matrices. The "big name" HDMI matrices are extremely expensive starting at around $1000 for a Gefen 4X4 HDMI matrix. However, there are cheap generic switches on eBay/Aliexpress/Alibaba for as low as $499 for a Foxun/generic 8x8 HDMI 2.0 (18 Gbps) matrix. Does anybody have any experience with any of them?

Crustyloafer Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 As with many things in life, you get what you pay for. I would recommend sticking to the tried and trusted brands, at least if things do not work as advertised then you will have some means of recourse for resolving.

Does anybody have any experience with any of them? if you want to true 4k with little compression. its worth the money to pay for their compression. remember 4k hdr is 18 gbps and the cable you are running it on maxes it on 10 gigs. if you dont care about color accuracy and sound quality then these cheaper ones will work. But wait theres more hdcp 2.2 is sensitive to say the least so expect to fight getting a picture for sensitive source like Apple tv and roku has been getting worse lately too. drro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
