That's really interesting, @Political-Intellect. I was also wondering if anyone has tried a specific brand of HDMI switch they'd recommend? I'm looking to get one soon and want to make sure it'll work well with my TV.

I've been using the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable for quite some time now, and it's been working perfectly with my Sony 55" X85K. You might want to check that out.
