Excellent starting story. My first “home theater” was a 5.1 system designed for computers in my college dorm room. I had the rear channels twist tied to my bunk bed, with wires running everywhere. I bought the system with income from teaching at Kaplan. It’s always fun to hear about how people get started with their home theater passion

To illustrate your point…

Got a Samsung 40″ UHD on black friday to use as a computer screen and it really delivers for gaming. Although Samsung sells this as supporting 4k@60p, it uses chroma subsampling to achieve it, (Not HDMI 2.0 certified) Precise (4k with no zoom) colored text looks weird in regular web browser or office etc. but for gaming it’s very hard to notice, so not a big deal for me.

They are saying they will fix this in an upcoming patch so we’ll see…

Agreed, the complexity right now with HDMI 2.0, including bandwidth limitations and HDCP 2.2 is a mess and it is definitively worth a set of articles and related tags.

I cannot say I’ve read and experienced enough to write about it yet, but I promise I will soon !

I also feel the upcoming CES should solve a lot of this as audio video chip manufacturers should finally release a single chip supporting both HDMI 2.0 at full bandwidth and HDCP 2.2 support !

Another cool project for Steve the Geek…
The main problem with all those new technologies is the lack of fully-compatible inputs. It would be nice to add a tag-section addressing this issue!
