Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The metal body is superb build quality, as well. As advertised and well made. Nice sleek package.

Even cheap, for the functionality, as the other options required replacing existing (older) high end av components. The pi's technical support is top notch. It took 5 minutes of setup.

This thing is highly recommendable. If you just need a simple downscaler without worrying or caring about hdr, this does exactly what you need it to.

Hdmi splitter passes through the 4k60hdr signal flawlessly to my tv, and smartly downsamples to 1080p60 to my hd60s. Using this splitter, i place it on the output of my denon receiver hdmi port going to my projector.

K apple tv and focal sound bar / sub. No issues when turning them on or off and no more resetting of the splitter. No noticeable loss in signal quality for either tv. Focal sound bar has just enough for my current setup.



Cons

All dip switch settings were set to zero to match my shield's 4k 60hz spec. On the tv's that are working well, it takes about 45 seconds for the screen to go from totally black to having a picture, this drives my wife crazy.

Price


I'm very impressed, especially considering the price.


Not to mention i'm sure this might be the best upscale product you can get under $300


Spend a little more money for this and you get something that works well.


At it's price, it should do everything you expect.

Shipping


I reached out to them and was surprised as to how quickly they responded to me.

Packaging/appearance


(the box is small, and is intended to be hidden behind the cabinet) but, i ended up liking them, as they are clear indicator if...  Read More


The cable box has no idea there is more than 1 tv hooked up and the signal displayed on all the tv's is the optimum signal for that tv.

Competitiveness


I tried several mux by other oem's and found this to be the best one.


This fooled vudu to send 4k + atmos to gofanco splitter and since the splitter and lumagen both pass through atmos, i was ultim...  Read More


Have used other gofanco products like one to many 10baset hdmi extenders.

    My old yamaha av receiver only supported 4k passthrough at sdr 30p so i thought i would give this gofanco box a try

    I would say its very easy to install but the problem is you first have to go into your video settings on your ps5 and set it to 2 on the video thingy option after that youll get hdr 4k
