I'm looking for a non-locked/writeable hdmi dummy so I can get 4k hdr streams from sunshine to my TV. As far as I understand, most/all of the dummies sold lacks the edid for hdr..

Preferably one of the dirt cheap ones from Ali. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or maybe I could modify one that is locked? I know there are more expensive ones to be bought, ie. edid cloners, but seems silly to spend 50-60 dollars if I can get away with spending less.

Thanks in advance!

Is this what you're looking for? I'm not really familiar with the technology but this looks like it's a close match if not an exact match.

There are tons of these with 4k support, but almost none with HDR. I have ordered one that does tho, but it came to $16 with shipping. I'm tempted to order a few random ones for $1-3 from China to see if any of them are writeable just to help others that are in need.

They are used for streaming in 4k hdr for people who doesn't have a display that supports this (but have a TV that does). The reason why almost all of them only support 4k no hdr , I think is because they are mostly used by cryptominers using gpus for mining..
