Why is the HDMI limited? Old version? Latest HDMI can run 4k 60 no problem.
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 5y agoHDMI, at least in the Mac mini 2018, is lossy compressed which shows itself in bleeding colors / slightly blurry 4K.
- bhouston 5y agoI believe HDMI can only send uncompressed video data. It can support compressed audio but not compressed video.
- wmf 5y agoHDMI supports chroma subsampling which is a form of lossy compression.
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 5y agoI own a Mac mini 2018 and could see the difference between HDMI and Thunderbolt. There are threads on MacRumors complaining about it. It’s subtly but noticeable enough to be annoying.
