The newer intel motherboards can do 4k@60 4:4:4 (8bit) as well. Certain H370/Z370/Z390 I know have DP 1.2(doesn't have HDCP 2.2 for DRM streaming) and or HDMI 2.0. Though most I believe still have just HDMI 1.4, so it's something to look for if you're buying new intel and specifically want this function. Though you also need to make sure it supports HDCP 2.2, as some motherboards have the proper ports, but don't have the proper HDCP support, and thus they can be used for 4k gaming, or 4k desktop use, but actual 4k streaming is limited.AM4 Raven Ridge (Ryzen) APUs can do HDMI 2.0, and 4K@60 4:4:4.
Only if they have additional chips onboard, such as Alpine Ridge, or another DP-to-HDMI2.0 converter onboard. Intel's actual CPU iGPUs are still HDMI 1.4.The newer intel motherboards can do 4k@60 4:4:4 (8bit) as well.

(Has that changed with the 8C 9th-Gen dies?)
Can you connect a 1080p computer to stream to a samsung UHD 4k tv? What are the requirements. My computer only has HDMI 1.4, it claims to be 4K Compatible.
Ehh, maybe "by spec", but my Kepler-based NV GT630 (Zotac) cards, can do 4K60 over HDMI1.4, at a reduced color-depth. Don't ask me, maybe NV is overdriving the port with a driver hack, or maybe my 4K UHD TV has some special mode.HDMI 1.4 can do 4k at 30hz but not 60hz which is pretty noticeable...
My 40" 4K UHD and my prior 24" 1080P LCD beg to differ... I've had "good" computer monitors, and "bad" computer monitors, and the TVs that I have currently, as well as previously, were JUST AS GOOD as any computer monitor(s) (LED/LCD) that I've had in the past. Making something a "monitor" doesn't magically make it better. As a matter of fact, the color was better on the TVs than the monitors. Probably because my 26" LCD monitor was a TN screen, and the TVs are better type screens.are never better then dedicated computer monitor.
I'm sitting about 3 feet from a 40" samsung. I could go downstairs and look at my 24" ultrasharp, by everything looks better @4k.I would never use any TV as a computer display. TV's may be a bigger screen, but due to dot pitch, etc, are never better then dedicated computer monitor.
There's something to be said for a low ms 65" 4k display. A pic I just took from where I'm sitting on the couch.I would never use any TV as a computer display. TV's may be a bigger screen, but due to dot pitch, etc, are never better then dedicated computer monitor.
To be fair, you appear to be using GUI scaling, so your text size looks to be 1080p equivalent, not 4k.It's so comfy sitting on a couch instead of a desk chair. And the great size is great for games, movies, web browsing, even text reading and scrolling. I can never go back.
Yeah, that's 4:2:0 and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. 4:2:0 looks fine for media watching, TV, movies, youtube, etc.I remember having to change the input label to PC so that the text would be sharp. If you didn't, the text would be fuzzy....
I started eyeing 4K displays at Costco some months ago, just glancing and thinking to myself. I thought well, great, is there content? But a couple months ago I checked out the idea of how far you need to be from these displays to appreciate the resolution they are capable of and the answer was pretty darn close! I found myself just a few feet from displays I've seen people sitting 20 feet away from in homes, but those weren't 4K. It would be so easy for people to be sitting 12-15 feet or more away from their 4K displays. They'd have little appreciation for what they're missing.I use a Sony 65" 4k as my main monitor and I sit about 4 and 1/2 feet from it...
Two questions:
1. Do any of these small 4K monitors have an auto-detect. IOW, if it has 3-4 ports, will it automatically switch to the one that's active?
2. Do any of them have a low power state that it will come out of quickly when it detects a signal?
I ask these questions because the display is connected to two separate machines, both of which will be kept in suspend when not being used. Switching inputs won't be necessary if there's auto-detect. This display takes 16 seconds to turn on, whereas the systems come out of suspend much faster, so low power suspend state for display would be a big plus as well.what kinda use do you have? why do you need these things? leave it always on ? sounds crazy

Only thing with using TVs as monitors is that I feel I have to strain my neck to look at top parts of the screen. I usually like my eye level with the top of the screen. Try to keep my monitors low.
