This thing is pretty limited. -capture only in 1080p uncompressed -60FPS max -no HDR -not clear which consoles it supports, some have problems with PS3 or other consoles.

That's what I'm thinking. I have the original Ripsaw, it seems all they've done is add 4k pass through to it, other than that its the same card

Frankly, most capture card manufacturer's are doing 4k passthrough updates on their existing products. Curious if it's actually new hardware, or simply a firmware update. Besides that, I feel like HDR is a marketing gimmick. As far as my personal TV, you have to disable 'gaming mode' to enable HDR, which supposedly runs up input latency(?).

So because you purchased without doing research an "HDR"-Ready TV it makes HDR a gimmick? For now I still use my 2016 OLED and HDR looks great and I have HDR-Gaming mode [that wasn't there on day one but added in one of the firmware updates in 2017] Normal Samsung models are the same, last years Sony OLEDS and high end LCDs are the same, they all have proper HDR and gaming mode + HDR. Next time before you invest your money, do some search, at least open rtings.com and cnet and read some reviews, especially on www.rtings.com/tv, they have great technical guides and tons of info. If a TV has HDR sticker doesn't mean it can Output Real HDR and that it has 10bit panel [or at least 8bit+frc], can do at least 800nits [although 1000nits is a minimum for proper HDR but lest say 800 is close enough], and if its LCD that it has some sort of VA panel, because IPS cant do proper inky black HDR unless it has FALD and even then VA wins and that a TV has Gaming HDR mode.

Thats not it, not even comparable, old cards had HDMI 1.4, so even if they add 4K passtrough its 4K/30. This one has HDMI 2.0 allows you to game normal in 4K/60. Also, based on 1:1 with best last gen capture card it has better PQ, less latency and better color accuracy, of course if you dont compare them 1:1 you will never know [youtube=84aGPMXhARc]

Settle down there, Turbo..... Apparently having an opinion is a capital offense. Edit: Also, not going to run out and buy a new TV just because companies are hyping up pre-existing technology. My TV is 2 years old, and old enough to be on clearance when I bought it. For companies to recently start hyping HDR strikes me as a gimmick.

HUH pre-existing technology? Not a single TV had 10bit panel and 1000nits before the HDR Revolution. Its the most revolutionary tv technology since HD replaced SD

I would not call HDR a "Revolution" either. Then:

That's some high level of hypocrisy. Being on high horse because your TV got FW update and his did not. W/o that update you would be in exactly same boat.
