Couple very very minor scratches (might have gotten them being repackaged for sale). No paper instructions at all, not a big deal because there is information on the Elgato web site. Worked just fine. Captured from three different inputs without issue. 1080p video captured was smooth and without a hitch. I was a little suspect being USB, as I use an internal card usually, but I needed portability and this works every bit as well. A pleasant surprise.
Remember to install the Elgato Game Capture HD software before plugging the unit into your computer. I did not and windows was stuck installing the device forever. Reboot fixed that. Once the Game Capture HD software is installed you can pretty much plug and play. OBS works perfectly with this device, and the game capture software works fine also. For my purposes, I need to use OBS studio.
Remember this unit is HDCP enabled -which means certain devices will not work such as a Chromecast (if you intend on using a Chromecast to capture a screen cast from a phone or laptop). You would need to buy a splitter that removes HDCP in order to do that. I do because I just don't want to deal with HDCP issues in general. As long as your computer has USB 3.0, and at least a 3rd gen i7, you should have no issues at all capturing video and/or streaming -that's the lowest processor I have to test with.
Worked exactly as it should. I'm very satisfied with the purchase. Since the seller couldn't answer, I'll answer my own question- it doesn't allow 4Kp24 downsampled to 1080p24, handles 1080p30 just fine. Other than that, been very stable and performs well!
I bought the Elgato HD 60 S refurbished, for streaming from PS4. It works exactly like it's supposed to. You have to manually disable HDCP in the system settings to use it, which is kind of a pain if you also use your PS4 for things like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. This is a problem with the PS4 though, and not the HD 60 S. I just thought it was worth mentioning for anyone who doesn't already know. I have had no problems at all with it though. Solid purchase.
I have to say I am really impressed with this capture card and the corresponding software that works with it. I have the benefit of having a 1gig Up / 1gig Down internet speed so I should get good results no matter what. However, right out of the box I plugged this puppy in and it went to work for me. Perfectly synced, perfectly captured, and perfectly streamed my game. I also bought the chat link cable and all my party chat is completely captured and in perfect sync as well. I'm so pleased.
Someone told me that support was dead for this thing. It's too bad, because it absolutely rocks at what it does. Once you get everything set up and configured, you can just play your games from the preview screen--no passthrough required.

Great device, big issue is the hardware encoder causes glitchy video (most likely due to my computer's upscaling of the video from 1080p to 4k, which stresses the encoder) however the software encoder works great with no problems. However if I didn't have a powerful desktop, I'm not sure if it would be capable of doing the same job. If I was going to re-purchase this I might look around for other USB enabled video cards so that my computer didn't need to do all of the work.
Works well, no issues despite being refurbished. I use this to alternate between streaming my PS4 and XB3. I don't use the onboard software, so I can't speak to it's efficacy. I use OBS Studio for all my capture needs. If only it had SD inputs as well, I could easily use this for 100% of my streaming capture needs, but as is it is very good.
The device itself its great but the software they expect you to use is terrible. I use OBS instead.
works great and it a fair price have not had any problems with it at all!
$50 less for a great, featured filled, like-brand new product? Count me in. (They repolish and repackage all Elgatos)
