I saw from a review that it is not compatible with PS5, is that true? I need to connect between 2 devices with 4K 60Hz with HDR

The HDMI switch supports resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz with HDR, making it technically compatible with 4K 60Hz HDR devices like the PS5. It is a manual bidirectional switch with two HDMI inputs and one output or vice versa, without external power supply needed.
There is no official statement from the manufacturer explicitly stating incompatibility with PS5. However, some user reviews or videos suggest that certain HDMI switches may have issues with PS5 due to HDCP or HDMI 2.1 features, but this specific model supports Ultra High Speed HDMI and HDR, which are required for PS5 4K HDR output.
Therefore, it should work for connecting two 4K 60Hz HDR devices including PS5, but performance may depend on the HDMI cables used and the specific TV or monitor settings. For guaranteed full HDMI 2.1 features (like 4K 120Hz), a dedicated HDMI 2.1 switch might be preferable, but for 4K 60Hz HDR it is compatible in principle.
