Hi all, recently upgraded my TV setup to a 4K Samsung and have been scope creeping since. I am using it currently with a Sony HTIB(SS370) I got a few years back. While that system does ARC-HDMI, not being a 4k system I've been having a lot of trouble getting it to play nice with my PC's videocard. I can do the 2 HDMI thing(PC to TV with 1 HDMI and PC to receiver with another HDMI) but the handshake process seems buggy(sometimes the video card won't recognize the 2nd screen or constantly tries to switch to that screen), and to that end I've given up on it with doing 5.1 sound and just use the 4k video and just stereo for now. I figure if I get a true 4k passthru system I should be able to run 4k video and 5.1 sound with 1 HDMI from the PC to the receiver then with TV to the receiver with a ARC with cable box and other stuff plugged to the TV. I am hoping for something similar to the Sony(in capability and price) but with 4K but that seems to be not very prevalent on the market. Most similar being this:

From Yamaha. I am not a huge audiophile and I use 5.1 sound at my rather small apartment living room for movies and video games so ultimate quality isn't that important(which is why that Sony worked for me just fine). I figure the Yamaha should serve the purpose? Are there any other alternatives on the market in the price range that I should consider?
Thanks....
