Quote:It is equipped with Intel’s Gen10 display controller supporting native HDMI 2.0 output as well as the Local Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (LACE) designed to improve visibility in glare and bright light.
Anandtech also confirmed native 2.0 support.
HDR now is all about OS (Linux kernel, latest Windows 10 has limited HDR support) and drivers. So it's up to Intel DRM in Linux kernel development if I am correct and Intel display drivers and Microsoft for better support in Windows 10. Not a hardware limitation anymore.
Also the media software needs to be developed to support HDR. Kodi has no support yet. PowerDVD is the only one with support for Windows if I remeber correctly.
I would say HDR is still a year away before it's ready in any form on Linux (purely guessing).
Android has almost figured out the 4K HDR stuff. Apple TV 4K is looking very promising.
