Our take
Certainly I can say that the X1700H’s HDMI setup is now a key strength rather than a cause for consternation. For starters, three of its six HDMI inputs handle the latest gaming features of 4K at 120Hz, variable refresh rates, Quick Frame Transport, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM).
Another great thing about the X1700H’s built-in HDMI 4K/120 or 8K/60Hz connections is that they work right out of the box. The 40GB capacity of the ‘8K’ ports handles everything it’s supposed to, including 4K at 120Hz feeds from the Xbox Series X that wouldn’t work on the single HDMI ‘8K’ ports of Denon’s.
