7 / 10 Expert Rating
An impressively small dongle that keeps 4K passthrough alongside 1080p60 capture, just know it's a smaller company than Elgato or AVerMedia.
UGREEN CM477 4K HDMI Capture Card
5 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely usable budget dongle for basic 1080p60 capture, with the software polish and support gap you'd expect at this price.
