FYI - I bought this for £180 in Feb 2020)For a 2PC stream/capture set up, this is great. Pretty much the Elagto 4k60 Pro Mk2's competitor.Before going further, remember that it is YOUR reponsibility to check your PC can run this. You'll need a mid-tier PC to be able to encode decently anyway - don't expect to run this on any old thing. It is a PCIE card, and you'll need a free x16 or x4 slot on your motherboard.Installation:Pretty easy - Mine slotted into the x16 slot on my motherboard just fine, but it was a tight squeeze under my GPU! Then you just fasten it to the exterior of your case.Connect your PC/Console/Video device to the left slot,and use the optional pass-through to connect to your display if needed (this is mainly for consoles or monitors without DisplayPort). (I connect my gaming PC to my monitor via DP, and to the capture card via HDMI, so I don't use the passthrough slot.) Set your Windows/NVIDIA control panel to duplicate you display to the capture card. Then you just download the software form Avermedia's site. Use the ReCentral software to program the RGB as well as the encoding settings. You can then use ReCentral or other software such as OBS, to capture gameplay.FunctionalityModes: 4k up to 60Hz, 1440p up to 144Hz, 1080p up to 240Hz. You can record at 60fps whilst playing at up to 240!Supports HDR if you use thatCan go way over 100k bitrate if you want (though.. why?!)RGB lighting can be changed in ReCental, but it seems like an afterthought - it's not really customisable - can't even just change it to a solid colour. Just off, or cycling through colours.QualityIt does take a bit of tweaking to get the performance just right.Recording 144fps gameplay is taxing, so most systems will struggle with the bitrates required. Best to stick to 60 anyway, as YouTube/other stereaming sites can't support over 60fps (unless you do some fancy manipualtion)Quality is very good - colours look nice (and you can adjust these if needed)Performance is smooth - no frame drops when I used reasonable encoder settings.Comapred to NDI (the no capture card 2 PC method), it is better, but don't expect a monumental change. NDI actually holds up very well, and if you're happy with that, then don't bother with the £180 on this!See this video to see the capture card in action, and comapred to NDI at 1440p60: search "NDI vs Capture Card. How it looks in 4 Games" --- Change the quality to the max your device will support! ---Overall, I do recommend this product, but WAIT FOR A GOOD DEAL! I wouldn't have paid more than the £180 I did, especially when NDI is a viable alternative. Feel free to comment any questions!

Neat card, easy to install and both XSplit and OBS picked it up as a video source immediately. I can't compare it to the Elgato 4K but I found the initial software setup of this LG4K a little more fickle than the elgato HD60 pro.The good:Fab capture image qualityEasy to installPlayed nice with all existing capture software I hadThe -1 star things:Its all software related, the capture card itself is 5*Was a bit flaky until I applied the firmware update, this was prompted during install but failed half way through. I assume because the installer tried to access the card during update. After reboot and looking for the updater, I was able to run it again as administrator and it worked fine.The RGB lighting seems weird,the only options I can see is 3 different patterns, I don't see where to set a solid colour and so I don't understand the logic of even having it. I'm sure it will come in a software update.It's too quick to complain about "no signal", when the graphic card is changing resolutions, or indeed just initialising DirectX. They should just pause the last good frame or black screen for 2 seconds and then go "no signal". It's really annoying during streams, I have one game that does it 4 times just going from menu to main game. The Elgato HD60 Pro never does it once by comparison.These are purely software issues, they are clearly proud of their device and want it to be the most important thing. AverMedia just have to remember they are part of an ecosystem and need to think more like an end user.

Please do not let the other reviews fool you. They have bought the lower end capture cards and does not indicate the true picture (no pun intended). This is my first review of anything I have ever bought on amazon and I have to say, it is worth it. This capture card is easily the best capture card on the market and it's almost £100 cheaper than the competition.The quality of the capture is crisp, vivid, and smooth. You are able to use ReCentral or any other third party capture software that supports directshow. I cannot recommend this enough.Easy to set up and easy to capture.Life saver really.

My GF got me one of these from another retailer,First of all its amazing, Ive been playing about with it today capturing my daughters switch. It works with OBS and RecCentral 4. before I figured out what i was doing i was playing it through obs, no lag at all, same with the Avermedia Rec software. Really easy to instal. I installed mine in a Ryzen 1800x x370 Gigabyte Gaming 5 motherboard. No droped frames and the Cpu was sitting at 3.4% no dropped frames really really impressed cant wait to hook it upto my ps4 pro.

If your trying to stream or record at 240hz AND have a HDMI 2.0 your in for a treat! DO NOT get the Elgato capture cards if you want to capture 240hz as the Elgato cards cause major screen tearing at high HZ. THE ONLY thing you must do to make sure its working is have it plugged into a modern PCI-E slot which is compatible and download the software ( to get the capture card recognised by my streaming PC i also had to manually download drivers from their website which had me worried to begin with haha)

Had some teething problems with this card due to incompatibility with Microsoft newer insider builds. Noting that this is one their end rather than AverMedias', upon working with their tech support and engineers we fixed this issue and the card runs perfectly fine on the latest stable build of Win 10.Perfect quality and sound following this fix, well worth the cost and very much gives even the 4k60pro form Elgato a run for its money.Definitely recommended.

Simple to install - Just download the software and plug the card in. Works perfectly with OBS, as well as their own recording software. Most capture cards i've seen have a noticeable delay - output has no noticeable delay, compared to directly plugging it into the TV

This is one of the best 4K capture cards on the market at the moment. Just know that it doesn’t use USB and instead plugs into a PCIe slot on your desktop PC’s motherboard. You will also need a powerful CPU and GPU to encode 4K.
