My TV (Sony Bravia) has zero free HDMI ports and only two of them actually support HDR. As far as I know, an HDMI splitter that supports HDR is insanely expensive. The only option for PSVR/PS4 Pro users is cable swapping or just giving up HDR entirely.

Apparently there are some fixes. Haven't read the article yet, but I will: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1340168

Hmmm..there are HDR ready HDMI switches out there too, a couple of those could be able to deal with the problem too.

You could route the PS4 pros HDMI signal into the Switch (1) and then have it go to the next Switch (2) connect it to the TV from there (thus only taking up one of your HDR ready HDMI ports on the TV), and have the other connection going from Switch (1) other port to the VR box and from there to the Headset (and possibly into Switch (2) and back into the TV as well, not sure if that would be neccissary).

Pretty sure Switch (1) would have to be a manual Switch for that to work though and it might degrade picture quality anyways to route it through two Switches, not too sure on that one. Theoretically you should end up with the non-HDR signal at the headset and the HDR signal at the TV and be able to Switch between the two.

It's been a while since I've looked but, at the time when I got my Pro (day one last year), an HDR switch was like half a grand!

 

If you could link me to one at a reasonable price (Not just 4k compatible, HDR compatible!) I'll buy it! I'm already using splitters to run my satellite into my Xbox One and TV at the same time and I managed to Kinect pretty much every 7th and 8th gen console to one TV despite having about 4 HDMI ports but this HDR issue stumped me.
