Pros:

• Plug and play.
• Competitive pricing .
• Slimline and sleek design.
• 1080p 60fps footage looks great.
• YUY2 colour.

Cons:

• No HDR passthrough or support.
• 1080p 60fps recording and passthrough limit.
  
• No VRR support.
• The white LED at the front can be annoying .
• Build quality is OK, but not great (it's entirely plastic).

KitGuru says: The Signal HD60 offers a budget, reliable option for streamers and although we miss out on some other features like HDR and VRR support, if you need that, you can opt for the Signal 4K 30.
