50/50 quality
Low quality item. ordered 1st, did not arrive. 2nd arrived and button of switcher immediately fell out and would not go back in. Ended up turning button upside down to make it work but then 2 months down the road (no rough wear and tear) it failed to switch between devices as well as constant flickering and the screen going black. Unfortunately past the return window now so just going to have to trash it. Very light device, thin plastic feel. Requires usb-c cord for external power

Not Compatible w/Xbox Series X
Does not work with Xbox Series X (4K120Hz not supported, even with two certified HDMI 2.1 cables). It will work on 4K60Hz or 1080p120Hz but not the exact sweet spot combination that this advertises.

Worked initially, then wouldn't switch to 2nd port even when plugged into power source. And it stopped working AFTER I threw out the receipt. Perfect.

Didn't work
This device wouldn't switch to the 2nd port. I would push the button, the light would switch sides briefly and then immediately switch back to the 1st port. Had to return it. Didn't try a second one, just got a different brand.

Literally doesnt work.
Literally doesn’t work. Lights don’t turn on. Was trying to connect my PC to TV and neither the PC or TV could register that they were connected. I removed the switch and plugged to the TV directly through HDMI with no switch as a test and it worked. So it has to be the switch

Quite simply, it didn't work as advertised
My goal was to connect both an XBox Series X and PS5 Slim to my TV and do so at 4K@120Hz. Despite supplying it power via its USB connector and the product advertising 4K/120Hz support, it simply didn't work. For one of my consoles, it would support 4K/60Hz and the other just sat there flickering on/off (every few seconds). It simply couldn't handle the signal. The 3 cables I used are all 4K/120Hz HDMI 2.1 cables that support up to 48Gpbs and work fine when connecting the consoles to the A/V receiver directly. The only culprit left standing is this Phillips 8K switch.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Philips model SWV9173GR/37 HDMI switch. We're sorry to hear that it didn't meet your expectations for connecting your Xbox Series X and PS5 Slim at 4K@120Hz. It sounds like you've taken all the right steps by using high-quality HDMI 2.1 cables and ensuring the switch was powered correctly. The flickering issue and the inability to maintain a stable 4K@120Hz signal for both consoles are certainly frustrating. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it along to our product development team.

It works great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't really need this but I gave it a go anyway. It works great 10/10. If you have lots of different things connected at the same time it's very handy.

False advertising
Does not support 4K at 120htz as advertised. Using HDMI 2.1 cables it still had bottlenecks that caused loss of HDR10 and Dolby atmos support.

Not the best but it does the job.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tested on a PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. It takes about 2-3 seconds to switch between devices. No noticeable loss of image quality. Noticed a few milliseconds of input delay on PlayStation 4; negligible to most people, might be a deal breaker to competitive players.

Smooth and easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first electronic item and let’s say it came at the perfect time. I used this for work and switching between my laptop to desktop and it was perfect! It did the job and it’s small enough that it can be tucked away

This changed it all
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This two port 4K HDMI switch was very easy to install. Very easy to switch. & has a USB-C power cord. It works great with My 4k TV, my Blue Ray player, & My Apple TV. It took only a minute to install them I was up and running. No more unplugging my 4k devices. Now it just takes a quick second to switch my devices.

Work really good and so easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great with my phone to TV really wish I had this a long time ago. Goes from C charger port to HDMI and lets you do all kinds of stuff. Think I'll be buying more of these.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came at the perfect time as I just got a work set up at home and needed one. Works as you would expect and then output is great! Not sure what else to say.

Most have!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a world of one million cords and adapters, this item is a must have! My Mac book does not have an hdmi port so this makes screen projecting onto the TV a breeze! It will stay in my travel bag for conferences in the future!

Neat Gadget
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked perfectly once I figured out what to do with it. I was able to plug my laptop in and toggle between two devices to work more efficiently.

Does the job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does the job, connects properly. Reliable brand but no bells and whistles. Excellent for what it’s for! Feels like good quality- no issues at all.
