8 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely useful onboard-encoder pick for single-PC streamers doing HDR console capture, though it costs more than AVerMedia's simpler externals.
Pengo Technology Pengo 4K HDMI Grabber
5 / 10 Expert Rating
One of the better budget HDMI dongles, but still a 1080p60 recorder wearing a 4K label.
