The official spec is found at: viewtopic.php?t=4956
Specification of the front USB-C port is:
"USB3.2 Gen2 Type-C x1 (DP/PD/DATA, supports DP1.4 video output, 4K@60Hz, maximum 10Gbps data transfer)"

DP1.4 official https://www.displayport.org/pr/vesa-pub ... rsion-1-4/ says:
"DP 1.4 further builds on the capabilities of the standard’s prior incarnations. The use of video transport compression enhances the ability to take advantage of the USB Type-C connector, enabling both high-definition video and SuperSpeed USB, while also facilitating High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 8K video across the DisplayPort or USB-C connector. Examples of increased display resolution with the new standard include 8Kp60Hz HDR deep color and 4Kp120Hz HDR"

I failed to operate a 4K HDR monitor using the front USB-C port:

Details:

• Current versions of w11 pro (23H2 or 24H2)

• Intel ARC driver 31.0.101.5448

• Monitor AOC PD32M https://aoc.com/us/gaming/products/monitors/pd32m

• Using the F2A's USB-C port I receive 4Kp60Hz, but switching to HDR (Windows setting) fails

• Using the F2A's HDMI ports I receive 4Kp60Hz with HDR

• Connecting the PD32M's USB-C input to USB-C output of a MiniPC of an "other brand" with an "AMD Ryzen™ 7 7735HS chipset" leads to fully functional 4Kp60Hz with HDR

May I ask if anyone is using the USB-C front port @ 4Kp60Hz with HDR?

We have received your feedback and we will improve this issue in the future.

Thank you for your reply.

Do you think it will be possible to fix this issue via a BIOS/EC-firmware update?
