Did some further testing:
At least with my Onkyo TX-NR646 receiver, the refresh rate switching on my HDMI 1.4 projector only works when I connect the Shield to one of the 3 non-HDCP 2.2 HDMI 2.0 ports. I tried one of the 3 HDCP 2.2 ports and then the Shield reverted to playing everything in 60 fps. Other people with HDMI 2.0 receivers and HDMI 1.4 displays should do additional testing. It is possible that Nvidia solved only half of the problem. People with HDMI 2.0 receivers that offer at least one non-HDCP 2.2 port should be fine as of now, but I know that many receiver manufacturers have HDCP 2.2 on all HDMI ports.
I also encountered the previously reported bug that only a 59.94 fps setting will yield flawless refresh rate switching. Once I set the Shield to 60 fps and YCbCr 4:4:4, it would fall back to 59.94 fps and RGB after playback stops. With 59.94 fps the set color space stays the same in all scenarios.
