Our take on the Magewell USB Capture HDMI 4K Plus
The Magewell USB Capture HDMI 4K Plus is a pro USB capture card with HDMI loop-through, taking input up to 4096 by 2160. It costs a tracked $539.55, the bottom of its $539.55 to $545 range since August 26, 2026.
The listing says it needs no drivers over USB 3.1 Gen 1 on Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. HDMI loop-through lets you watch the source on a second display without extra gear. Audio can be embedded or come from a mic input, and a headphone output is listed. A 3 year limited warranty applies. It costs far more than a hobby card, and only 52 retailer ratings back the 4.1 average.
