D007 Wow.. HDMI 1.4 for 4k.. Really?

Are they really that dumb or are they that cheap?

4k via HDMI 1.4 = garbage.

You get 30 hz, not 60 or you get chromatic subsampling only, which = no UHD colors...

What garbage..



HDMI 2.0 is required for true UHD, 4k output.

DP 1.2 however can handle 4k UHD, I believe.

Problem with that is not a lot of TV's even use a DP 1.2.

Most major brands don't.

Well, considering that no one in the right mind would be gaming using integrated graphics at 4k, I think you're over stating how much HDMI 1.4a really matters on a device using. Having a laptop that has HDMI 1.4a (and Iris Pro) and knowing someone with a 4k TV, I have plugged into it and the 30Hz does kind of suck when you're moving the mouse around and interacting with the OS but, to be completely honest, once you go to play a video, more often than not, it looks a lot smoother than working with the OS. So, while I understand your frustration (not to mention you like carp about it any chance you get since you invested in 4k without knowing better and are now stuck with this very problem,) but for the use case for this machine, if it is ever attached to a 4k display, it's probably only going to be for videos, in which case, 30Hz really isn't as bad as you think it is because most video doesn't typically exceed 24 FPS anyways (excluding pulldown judder which I didn't notice when I tested it out.) So all in all, the amount of frustration in your post isn't really a good reflection of this machine and what it's geared for.You must really still be unhappy about the situation you're in with your 4k setup with respect to nVidia's hacked up 4K support which is really just 1.4a with some 2.0-like features, aren't you? With how much you complain about this particular problem, you must be pretty ticked off.
