I'm looking for a 4k@120hz receiver to go with my Game System.
Replacing my Pioneer VSX-532 that supported 4K@60fps I got for $159 2 years ago.
Is this a good one? Not sure why receivers are so expensive.

Oh it doesn't?
It says "Number of HDMI HDCP 2.2 Inputs = 4" so I thought that was HDMI 2.1. Super confusing.
Got a good recommendation instead?
Anything below $200?

It is an upgrade over my current Sony though as current one is a bit older, the front display rarely works ( doesn't bother me), and new one has Bluetooth. I do have a Google Chromecast Audio ( no longer available except maybe eBay, etc) hooked up to current set up to stream music. IMHO, it's better than Bluetooth as it's WiFi and works throughout the house without Bluetooths distance limits. It also sounds good. Connected with optical drive .....same port in chromecast audio functions as both 3.5mm OR optical.
So, don't NEED this. Still it's an upgrade, a great price, and they are almost sold out around me. Ahhh, the joys of the slickdeals effect. As the Clash sang, "Should I stay or should I go now"?

EDIT:
According to https://hometheaterrevi
With AVR's, the more you spend, the more you get, but you can't pick features ala carte. You can't say "I want X room correction , X amount of power, 1 phono input, 1 tape loop, but NO extra "zones" and no surround sound "enhancements" like "stadium" or "club" because you don't use those features. As the avr prices go up, so do the features. Some features you need and some you don't.
With this low end receiver, if you wanted two hdmi monitor outs, no dice. If you wanted a phono input, no dice. If you wanted binding posts for all speaker outputs, no dice. If you wanted room correction , no dice. If you wanted a tape record loop or a digital audio output, no dice. I could go on and on. And with Sony, you know those power wattage figures are a joke. Lol.
