Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- A source-documented earlier external HDMI option when a Windows USB 3.x host, unencrypted input, up-to-1080p60 capture and a 4Kp60 display passthrough path are sufficient. The manufacturer presents the paired Full HD stream/4K display task, while the USB 2.0 requirement and original GC551 identity must be checked carefully.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- This is not a 4K capture card: recording tops out at 1080p60. USB 2.0, HDR, HDCP-protected input, 1440p, ultrawide and high-refresh passthrough are not supported or documented. Best Buy says its black GC551 listing is no longer available new; no current offer, stock, condition, warranty or seller package is established. Do not confuse it with GC551G2.
