Need help picking an HDMI matrix switcher

I am thinking about buying an HDMI matrix switcher. I want to switch HDMI signals from 3 sources and transfer it to 4 video panels like in a sports bar. Looking around, I found some models here https://bzbexpress.com/HDMI-Matrix-Switcher/. My budget is around $3500. I’m thinking I will need to buy a 4x4 matrix switch. Anyone familiar with the brands Atlona, Gefen, or Key Digital? Thoughts?


Thanks for the help!
 
It is hard to go wrong with the proper Gefen. I have found them to be one of the few that clearly states the stats of the product. At this point, I wouldn't recommend any matrix switch which does not have HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliance. I think the only Gefen matrix switch which has that is the 8x8, which will run you around $2.5-3k:

Still check that it does what you really need. I believe it only does 4k HD 60fps using 4:2:0. But I don't know of a matrix switch that supports 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 yet. Only ones I have seen are all 4:2:0 at 4k.
