Yes that's the one data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
As for cables I highly recommend Cablesson or KabelDirect. I have a complicated setup with more cables then I can count and those brands have served well. Not expensive either
Which Cablesson hdmi cable would you get? nothing longer then 2m.Thanks for your help by the way data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Saw this one
Cablesson Basic 1.5m High Speed HDMI Cable - 4K, 3D: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
These are the ones I bought to tide over for the remaining 4K era.
KabelDirekt 3m HDMI Cable compatible with HDMI 2.0a/b, 2.0, 1.4a (Ultra HD, 4K, 3D, Full HD, 1080p, HDR, ARC, Highspeed with Ethernet) - PRO Series:Amazon.co.uk:Electronics
If the Cablesson, try the IVUNA range.
Both very good.
Prices vary depending on stock who you buy from. I would expect to pay no more then £8-10. Any more than that --> wait until some else sells
Bought 2 of these
KabelDirekt 2m HDMI Cable compatible with HDMI 2.0a: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Has anyone managed to split the PS4 Pro and PSVR using the switch so you don't have to see swapping cables?
I'm returning two 3x1 Ligawo switches.data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
The first had a faulty Input A where no signal was getting through at all.
I thought the second one was working fine but after testing all three inputs with Xbox One S, PS4 Pro and Shield all showing 4K with HDR, I tested some more and moved between inputs and they all dropped down to either 720p or 1080p HD and refused to go back to 4K as they couldn't detect a compatible 4K TV at the other end of the chain.
Tried changing the order I powered up devices and also changed a few cables but no luck.
Think I will wait and hope more reliable models become available before too long and as more demand for these spec. switches appears.
I've managed to find a combination I can use to connect what I need without the switch but one more device and I'll be a bit stuffed.

That is annoying. I don't think that there is anything else out at the moment without climbing up the price scale so much that changing AVR becomes a reasonable option.
I am using a 5x1 now and it seems to be fine. The auto-switching can sometimes be caught out, but I can't really complain given I am using the AVR as an input. It is bound to happen sometimes.
I will still stump up for a new AVR eventually because I can't get my Nvidia Shield to work using only the switch. If I plug it into the switch, 4K and HDR work fine but I am obviously limited to sound through the TV. If I plug it into the AVR, I get proper sound but no 4K/HDR.
As I mentioned above, I considered the Ligawo 1x2 splitter to effectively get around this, but that was a stupid idea because 4K/HDR wouldn't work because the splitter would always see the HDMI 1.4 AVR!
I had the same issue as you with my Panasonic TV a CX802 but found my own fix. If a device or port stops working at 4K I found if i go to setup in TV settings and turn HDCP to 1.4 1080p mode basically. Wait for the device to go blank then re appear then switch back to HDCP 2.2. Screen will go blank again and device normally switches back to 4K.
PS4 PRO's people seem to have a lot of issues with on an American forum even with a expensive switch someone had his ps4 pro randomly changing its video settings.
I have a normal PS4 and it is not perfect Playstation support said they had never heard of my issue but i bet they have it would sometimes output at 720p directly connected to a LG then my Panasonic CX802. First Sony Playstation i have owned and not really impressed with its reliability it also crashes out of the game to main menu a lot lol.
I hope the HDCP thing works for you like it does for me if something gets stuck at 1080p.
Thanks for the HDCP suggestion.I've decided that if it isn't going to be reliable, I'll send them back.With three different devices, I think I could be spending too much time trying that workaround.
I will keep an eye on the Octava switches and see if anything affordable becomes available and try and be patient. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Gosh I think have the same issue - I have a newish amp, yamaha rx-v681 only has 3 hdcp 2.2 chroma 4:4:4 inputs - the other 2 are just standard. my first 3 inputs are all used up so my ps4 pro may have to either be plugged directly into my KS8000 Samsung or I get a chroma 4:4:4 HDR switch if one exists
