    Has anyone got it to work yet? Ctrl +Alt+ Shift+ D shows the resolution / bit rate. I've heard it works when using external HDMI and 4K TV. Is it possible to create a custom 3840 x 2160 resolution scale down on the 1440p OLED so Windows 10 sees it as a UHD display?

    Why Fn + F7 does not turn off Optimus on the OLED model?
    Is it possible to use the 1060 as Physx when connecting to the AGA?

    Much thanks.

    Hi All,
    I got it to work, streaming at 16 Mbs in 4K, 192 Kbs audio. Truly Beauty and the Feast. 1080p 8 Mbs or blu-ray upscale to 1440p 13" OLED is impressive also. What titles or streaming services do you also recommend? Is there an equivalent to show details on Amazon Video like Netflix's Ctrl + Shift + Alt + D? Looking forward to UHD blu-ray for PC soon. Please share your thoughts. There are many viewers here. Much thanks for your ideas.

    -Cheers.
