Verdict

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.

StarTech UVCHDCAP

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A perfectly fine budget travel dongle for casual camera-to-webcam capture, nothing more than that.
