alright, what's a 4k hdr alternative then, that supports hdr and dolby vision?
I've been using an intel NUC for like 5 years now. It does 4k no problem.
yeah, but does it do HDR? I suppose not.
I would love to use my own setup of hardware/software, but it's simply not possible without making sacrifices
Anything that supports HDMI 2.0 or Display Port 1.4 can do HDR. My intel nuc does hdmi 2.0, that was why I bought it. So yes, it does. Stop being a naive consumerist and learn what you are actually consuming.

I did learn a lot about my consumption, and believe me when I say, that I wish my options were broader. But it is how it is. And most of the content I watch is in HDR10+ or DV.
But yeah, everyone's milage may vary.
Media passthrough isn't the same as streaming from the HTPC. IF you look directly above the quote above.
So you if you have a HDR10+ source on your IntelNUC, or whatever, you can play that over HDMI 2.0 to a compatible TV without an issue.
yes, playback might work, but it will fall back to HDR10 or even SDR, since not all metadata is passed through.
So to fully take advantage of hdr10+, dolby vision, 5.1, atmos, and what not... each device in the chain, from the source to the output, and the hdmi cable, have to fully support it.
