The switch is well built with an aluminum case, it feels heavy and sturdy and it does a good job at dissipating the heat.
The remote works quite well for a remote this size but don't put anything in front of the switch or the remote won't work as well.
Switching between the 4 ports is fast, although my laptop takes a little bit longer to connect.
I am overall really happy with the purchase and it does the job I want it to do well.

My only complaint is that the remote looks/feels flimsy, but is just fine functionally. Even switches through the glass doors on my entertainment cabinet. I highly recommend this switcher and will buy again if something happens to it!
Update, December 23rd.
I had it returned. The front lights started flickering and the 3rd HDMI port in the back failed

The product is doing what it advertises; I'm getting 4K@60hz (60hz is max for my projector) with HDR10+ and full Dolby Atmos passthrough, and everything is correctly recognized by all of my devices. It also seamlessly switches HDMI inputs, saving me another step when turning on a console. So far, it does everything I want it to do with predictable behavior.
Decided to pick this up and it has been a wonderful choice! The unit is solidly built, has a nice heft to it, and looks very sleek. Performance has been superb, no power issues, switches from port to port quickly, and the picture quality is perfect in 4K @ 60Hz.
Highly recommended product!
Top reviews from other countries
At around 14.2cm x 5.5cm x 1.2cm the unit is smaller than I expected for a 4 into 1 device. Build quality is excellent, it has an aluminium outer shell which not only looks sleek and feels good but also helps disperse heat, on the underside 2 rubberised strips stop it from sliding around on smooth surfaces.
All HDMI ports and the USB-C power port are hosted on the rear of the unit with the front side hosting the indicator LED's and manual switch - a 4 way remote control is also included. I much prefer this setup to units which have cables attaching to both front and rear which makes cable management more difficult.
TV's have a limited number of HDMI ports, often less than you need and even newer TV's may only provide one HDMI 2.1 spec'd port. For anyone who enjoys gaming and has a number of different consoles such as a Steam Deck, a Nintendo Switch, a Xbox and a PlayStation this auto switcher unit will totally do away with the hassle of having to disconnect one console before connecting a different one. In use switching between consoles took about 6 seconds but this could vary with the TV the switch is connected to.
One of the HDMI inputs is spec'd with ARC so audio from any connected console or media streamer (FireTV) or the TV can be routed seamlessly to an ARC compatible soundbar or music system.
The Llano 4 into 1 HDMI 8K switcher supports screen resolutions of 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 120Hz and 2K at 144Hz and Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS audio so should be compatible with all current audio visual devices and provide some future proofing for those who have yet to upgrade to 8K. Highly recommended.
Globalement tout est bien soigné, que ce soit la finition du packaging 📦 que le commutateur lui-même en aluminium et sa télécommande.
J'ai bien aimé notamment la présence des patins antidérapants, bonne chose pour ce genre d'objets légers qui se retrouvent sinon emportés par les câbles HDMI 👍
Il supporte les normes HDMI récentes donc pas de pertes de résolution ou de fréquence de rafraîchissement 👍
Il a besoin d'être alimenté par un câble USB-C (fourni mais il faut quand même un chargeur derrière ou bien que l'écran / TV ait un port USB permettant de l'alimenter).
Bref, simple, soigné et efficace 👍

Ho collegato poi la PS5 alla porta Input 1 e il tv alla porta Output e ho avviato la console: come dichiarato, il supporto 4k HDR a 120hz con VRR è reale e non ho riscontrato problemi.
Nella confezione trovate anche un telecomandino a infrarossi con batteria inclusa che vi consente di switchare tra le 3 porte HDMI Input presenti sul dispositivo.
Il prodotto di per se è costoso ma quelli che ho visto fino ad ora non avevano il supporto HDMI 2.1 come questo e credo che il prezzo sia abbastanza giustificato, forse 45-50 euro sarebbe il top. Se avete esigenza di aumentare le porte utili presenti sul TV o se in avete una TV in cui solo una delle porte ha il supporto HDMI 2.1 questo può fare al caso vostro per connettere più device a tale porta (es: Xbox Serie X, PS5 e lettore Bluray) in modo da avere il supporto HDMI 2.1 su tutti i 3 device e senza dover staccare e riattaccare il cavo ogni volta che si passa dall'uno all'altro.
L'aspetto e la qualità costruttiva sembrano ottimi.

Si tienes una pantalla o un monitor y no tienes suficientes puertos HDMI para todo lo que quieres enchufar, un aparato como este es una buena solución. Básicamente lo que haces es, en lugar de enchufarlo directamente a la pantalla, lo enchufas a este aparato y este aparato lo enchufas al monitor, de modo que puedes tener hasta 3 dispositivos conectados a un mismo puerto HDMI.
Está hecho en aluminio, la calidad de los materiales se ve buena y todo se ve bien ensamblado. Además, es bastante pequeño es fácil colocarlo en prácticamente en cualquier lugar sin que desentone ni llame la atención. Por la parte delantera hay un botón para seleccionar la señal de origen, así como varios indicadores LED. Por la parte superior y por los laterales, lo más destacable que encontramos es el nombre de la marca, pero nada importante. Por la parte inferior hay dos almohadillas antideslizantes para evitar rallar la superficie donde lo coloquemos y, por la parte trasera encontramos el puerto de alimentación y cuatro puertos HDMI. Es importante tener en cuenta que estos puertos HDMI que tiene son 3 de entrada y 1 de salida. Eso quiere decir que podemos tener, por ejemplo, 3 consolas de videojuegos conectadas a un televisor, pero no podremos conectar una consola a tres televisores.
El cable de alimentación que se incluye es un USB tipo C por el lador que se conecta al conmutador y USB tipo A por el lado que se conecta a la fuente de alimentación. Por desgracia, no se incluye en la caja ningún adaptador de corriente y el cable tampoco destaca por ser muy largo, por lo que, dependiendo de para que lo necesitemos, quizás debamos no solo comprar un adaptador sino también un cable más largo. Para mi, este es el principal inconveniente que le he visto. Por suerte, he probado de conectarlo a uno de los puertos USB del televisor donde lo estoy usando y me ha funcionado fbien. Si lo va a usar en un televisor como yo, esto puede ser una buena solución.
Una cosa que es de sentido común pero que yo no había tenido en cuenta es que necesitarás un cable HDMI más de los que estés usando ahora, ya que ahora no estarás conectando el dispositivo directamente al televisor, sino que necesitarás un cable para conectar el dispositivo al conmutador y otro para conectar el conmutador al televisor. Por tanto, necesitas un cable más que los dispositivos que conectes (por ejemplo, si conectas 3 dispositivos, necesitarás 4 cables HDMI)
El funcionamiento es muy sencillo: A la que conectes el HDMI a la corriente ya empezará a funcionar, ya que no hay ningún botón para encender y apagar. Una vez tienes conectados todos los dispositivos, lo único que hay que hacer es elegir cuál de los dispositivos quieres ver, ya que como es evidente, no puedes ver varias cosas distintas a la vez. Cada puerto HDMI de entrada está numerado con un número del 1 al 3, y pulsando el botón del propio conmutador irás pasando de un dispositivo a otro. Gracias a los indicadores de la parte delantera se puede saber de qué dispositivo se está cogiendo la señal.
Una de las razones por las que me decidí por este conmutador y no por otros es que este lleva un mando a distancia. Si soy sincero, este es el primer conmutador de este estilo que tengo y no se si lo de llevar mando a distancia es algo raro o muy habitual, pero los anuncios que había visto de la mayoría no ponían si llevaban o no, por lo que asumo que no. El que lleva este es muy sencillo, de esos planos que van con pila de botón, parecido a los mandos que suelen llevar las tiras de luces LED. Por la parte de arriba de los botones es de un color gris plateado y por el resto de lados es de color negro. Sólo tiene tres botones, numerados del uno al tres y que permiten seleccionar el canal que quieres ver. No hace nada más, pero es bastante cómodo si lo vas a usar con un televisor, como es mi caso.
En principio, este conmutador es capaz de soportar hasta una resolución de 8K. Por desgracia, ni mi televisor ni ninguno de los aparatos que tengo llega a tanta resolución, por lo que no he tenido forma de comprobar esta especificación, pero si puedo decir que con 4K la imagen se ve igual que si hubieras enchufado el dispositivo directamente al televisor, sin ninguna diferencia.
En resumen, es sencillo de usar, está bien construido y cumple muy bien su función. Lo único que no me ha convencido es que el cable sea corto y no traiga el adaptador de corriente, pero es un problema que se puede solucionar fácilmente, por lo que he decidido darle las 5 estrellas.
