Which UGREEN HDMI switch is the smarter buy for your setup?

Display

Both products support 4K at 60Hz, so on paper they can deliver the same sharp, smooth picture for modern TVs, monitors and projectors. Product B has a slight edge on paper because it explicitly supports HDR10+, which can improve highlight detail and colour range on compatible TVs and sources. Product A still supports HDR and HDCP 2.2, so for most everyday viewing there’s no major visible gap unless you specifically use HDR10+ content and a compatible display. Winner: Product B, but only narrowly, because its HDR10+ support gives it a small future-proofing advantage.

Performance

For switching speed and day-to-day use, both are designed for the same job: quick source changes with a remote and support for common modern devices like PS5, Xbox, Fire TV, Roku and Blu-ray players. Product A’s 5-in-1-out design is the more flexible option if you have multiple consoles or boxes, while Product B’s 3-in-1-out layout is simpler and likely enough for a typical living room setup. In real-world use, the better performer is the one that matches your device count without requiring extra unplugging. Winner: Product A, because having five inputs makes it more practical for multi-device households.

Build quality and design

Both are from UGREEN, a brand with a strong reputation in budget accessories, and both have very similar ratings: 4.4/5. Product A has far more reviews at 4,981 versus 1,922 for Product B, which gives it a stronger track record and more confidence that it’s been tested by a wider range of buyers. Product B is cheaper and likely a little more stripped-back, but there’s nothing in the specs to suggest it’s more robust. If you care about proven reliability and fewer compromises in a busy setup, Product A wins. Winner: Product A.

Battery life

Neither product has a battery, so this category doesn’t really apply. Both are mains-powered HDMI switches, so there’s no charging to worry about and no battery degradation over time. In practical terms, this is a tie.

Price and value for money

This is where Product B makes its strongest case. At £13.78, it is £11.36 cheaper than Product A, which is a big saving for a simple HDMI switch. If you only need three HDMI inputs, Product B gives you excellent value because it offers the same 4K@60Hz core capability and adds HDR10+ support at a much lower price. Product A is still good value, but only if you genuinely need the extra two inputs. Winner: Product B.

Game library/features

Neither product has a game library, but for gamers the relevant features are input count, 4K@60Hz support, HDCP 2.2 and compatibility with PS5/PS4/Xbox. Product A is better for gaming households because five inputs make it easier to keep a console, capture device, streaming box and spare source permanently connected. Product B is still a solid gaming option for a PS5 plus one or two other devices, and the HDR10+ support is a nice bonus for supported content. Winner: Product A, because more ports matter more than the extra HDR headline for most gamers.

Overall user experience

Product A is the better choice if you want a more flexible, less fiddly setup. With five inputs, it reduces cable swapping and makes it easier to keep everything connected in one place, which is especially useful in a family living room or gaming den. Product B is the smarter buy if your setup is modest and you want the best price-to-performance ratio. It does the essentials well, costs much less, and still gives you 4K@60Hz with remote switching and HDR10+ support. Overall, Product A is the more capable long-term choice, but Product B is the better value for most people with only three sources. If you need the extra ports, buy Product A. If you don’t, Product B is the clear bargain.
