Why won't my PS4 Pro work with any 4K HDMI switch?
I have a 4K monitor, a PS4 Pro, and a laptop. I want to be able to quickly switch between the PS4 Pro and the laptop by flipping a switch.
I've tried two different 4K HDMI switches from Amazon (1, 2). Both of them work with the laptop (at 4K) but neither of them work with the PS4 Pro.
NB. The PS4 Pro works fine when plugged directly into the 4K monitor, just not when used via either switch. So the issue is not the PS4. I have tried all combinations of cables and tried all the different input ports on both switches. The result is always the same.
What could be the problem?

PlayStation4 (PS4) As the most demanding throughput a base PS4 can put on an HDMI cable is 1080p 60Hz with HDR, high speed HDMI or HDMI 1.4 is more than enough. You can even get 4K 30Hz with this cable, but the base PS4 doesn't support 4K so that's a moot point.Tame Impala - Why Won't They Talk to Me? (Official Audio)
