[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1181373, member: 18896"] Probably cheaper to add a videocard with HDMI 2.0a, which right now is being price gouged by NVidia, but AMD should release their range very soon to bring back competition. At least then you do not have to worry about sucky Intel drivers, although with all the AMD delays there might be enough time for Intel to release a driver that fixes the issue.
