Alt-Mode HDMI stopped at 1.4b. Everything now is DisplayPort Alt-Mode to HDMI. The translation is simple enough it can be done passively and components can fit inside the connector, meaning it looks like a simple cable.
Drawbacks are you can't get GSync, Freesync, or VRR. Also Nvidia's drivers only output 2.0 Audio over DisplayPort, so no surround sound.
Til. Shame, but DP is much better anyway. That explains why I can rarely get more than 1080p out of those anyway, only have a few good ones that go to qwxga.
Hdmi is such a disaster of a standard, I wish they'd just make new versions a different connector running DP, everyone would be happy, though the 5 people using the ethernet support would be SOL.
