Elgato 4K X and consoles working flawlessly
Eric Stent
I’m using this app with an Elgato 4K X to use my Mac as an external monitor for displaying console gameplay - PS5 works flawlessly at 4k 60fps. I had tried OBS and similar apps, but they were fiddly and had poor framerates - this app worked instantly with the minimum of setup, so thank you for that.One suggestion - implement a way to change colour/contrast/brightness etc within the app.
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. I will seriously consider your suggestion.
