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.

So, I've done a quick google search, so no guarantees, but this bi-directional manual Switch seems to get the job done accoring to people trying it out with the PS4 pro: https://sewelldirect.com/2x1-or-1x2-hdmi-bi-directional-switch-with-hdcp-passthrough

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00629NHW6/ref=twister_B06XGGQZ53?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (the official Amazon description says 4@30hz but people in the rewiews are reporting 4@60hz so it might be better to go through the offical link)

Thats the Switch people have been recommentding on Neogaf too. People on there seem to also feed the signal from the VR box back to the TV (not completely sure why) so it takes up two HDMI ports on the TV, a second Switch should solve that for you.

Is the smaller monitor strickly PC? Because if you want your ps4 signal to go to a 4k TV as well as a non 4k monitor things might get complicated...;P

Nice setup btw!
