It can output 4k HDR 10 correctly right?The S905W is a cut-down S905X (it won't do 4K at >30Hz) It's not clear whether there is a good kernel that can support full 10-bit paths (required for HDR content without banding). There are still some variations in 10-bit vs 8-bit dithered support in S905X kernels I believe, and I don't think the S905W is as popular by any means, so the level of understanding and research for this SoC is reduced in comparison?
At the moment I think S905X and S905D SoCs are the favoured long-term AMLogic platforms (the S912 performs well currently too - but may have long-term support issues with the current hacked Android GPU drivers)
The S905X2 - which is a totally new chip (not a tweak of the S905X) AIUI - is getting some interest but I don't know how well supported it is.
