That miniHDMI version number appears in the text of the related article, it does not appear anywhere on the actual Intel roadmap slide, therefore the information that it's HDMI 1.4a could well be wrong, however it indeed doesn't look good by only mentioning 4K for the miniDP connection.

no hdmi 2.0 up to 2017, makes this really disappointing and NOT an UHD-proof HTPC.
If it did include it, I'm sure they'd mention it next to the mHDMI.

This is strange play by Intel as Nvidia X1 supports 10bit HEVC 4k decode.
So if you can live with Android its a better choice for a media player. Of course if you need other functions that only a PC can give you then your stuck.

So unless there's a DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 converter on the mainboard, this version of NUC will just bring HEVC decoding. That'd be slightly disappointing, but then again Intel has been upgrading the NUCs one small step at a time...
I'd like to see USB-C in addition to HDMI 2.0, but I guess I'll need to wait for the Kaby Lake then.
