Felix, I wonder sometimes if you really read the
posts. I said it
is "digitus 4K HDMI switch 4x1" - you ask what model.
What you wrote looks like a description, not a model number. Model numbers are
generally required to ensure a item found is the item described, necessary to
ensure one does not make the mistake of choosing to acquire that exact same
badly behaving item.

IMO I need to set the physical size in xorg.conf, but
your comment reminds
me to check the EDID. I wonder if the monitor can talk to the PC at all
DisplaySize affects logical display density, not resolution/mode.
Talk to yes. Communicate, likely the problem. HDCP implementations incorporated
in HDMI are capable of causing all sorts of communication foibles which intended
or otherwise comprise obstacles to both violation of protection, and proper
operation.
