Short answer

Use an HDMI switch. It lets several HDMI devices, such as a console, laptop and streaming box, share one HDMI input on the TV.

How to connect it

  1. Plug each device into an input on the switch.
  2. Run one HDMI cable from the switch to the TV.
  3. Change source with the switch's button or remote.

Check this first

  • Check it supports the resolution and refresh rate you use. 4K at 120 Hz needs a switch rated for HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps); older switches usually stop at 4K at 60 Hz.
  • Some HDMI 2.1 switches have trouble with variable refresh rate, so read recent reviews if you game.

Does it work for 4K at 120 Hz?

Only with an HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps) switch. Even then, some switches have issues with VRR, so check reviews for your console.
