Intel Readies 4K-ready NUC NUC5i7RYH Desktop
With 4K-ready media center PCs upon us, Intel decided to equip one of its next-gen NUC (next unit of computing) desktops with one of its most powerful integrated graphics solutions, which can either accelerate 4K video, 1080p to 4K upscaling GPU algorithms (think MadVR), or make for a reasonably fast 720p or 900p gaming machine. The NUC5i7RYH from Intel features a Core i5-5557U processor, which integrates Iris 6100 Graphics. Based on the "Broadwell-GT3" silicon, Iris 6100 offers 48 execution units, between 300 and 1100 MHz GPU core frequency, and an L4 eDRAM cache. A passive cooling solution deals with this 28W TDP chip. Other specs include two DDR3-1866 SO-DIMM slots, supporting up to 16 GB of memory, HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2 display-outputs, four USB 3.0 ports, including one high-current port.

It's possible the worst HDMI connector that was ever made.
It's flimsier and harder to plug in than micro HDMI and has no benefit over micro HDMI.
No NUC until now was completely passivly cooled - and the datasheet says "low-accoustics active cooling design" also..
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.
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.
Just plug the 1080p TV there and browse Internet, watch movies, listen to music, use Line/Skype/Viber, whatever for video talk, etc. This is great to have it on the living room.
