1 / 7Guermok GM-29E-Blue USB HDMI Capture Card
Guermok GM-29E-Blue is a compact HDMI-to-USB capture card for recording or streaming a video source through capture software. Its listing claims up to 4K@30FPS input and capture output up to 2K@30FPS or 1080P@60FPS, but other listing details describe output only up to 1080P, so buyers seeking 2K capture should confirm the selected configuration.
At a glance

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm
Listing details conflict on maximum capture output: the title and feature text claim 2K@30FPS, another page section says output is only 1080P, and the detailed resolution field lists 1080p and 720p. Treat 2K output as unconfirmed and verify the selected listing before buying. The source also variously describes video formats and output labels, so confirm the required software and format support. The minimum-system-requirements text names Windows 10/11 and macOS, while compatibility claims extend to additional operating systems and devices. Confirm compatibility with the specific host and capture software.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers who need HDMI capture for gameplay, meetings or recording through software on a compatible computer.
- Users who want a lightweight capture device with USB-C connection and an included USB-A adapter.
Less suited to
- Anyone who needs HDMI passthrough or direct display output to a TV or monitor.
- Buyers who require confirmed 2K capture output or consistently low-latency gameplay monitoring.

Customer feedback highlights easy setup, crisp 1080p60 video and useful recording for game streaming. Reports are mixed on compatibility, connectivity, video quality and latency, with some customers describing device incompatibility, USB 2.0 recognition, noticeable input lag and crackling audio.
