    The new 17 inch Alienware have HDMI 2.
    I guess that its also HDMI input. Also HDMI 2?

    If the laptop have a 4K screen and I connect for example a PS4 1920x1080:
    Will the laptop screen scale the picture to 1920x1080 or will it use non-native resolution?

    Usually non-native resolutions have looked terrible but on for example the 5K RiMac non native resolutions looks perfect. Maybe with HDPI scaling looks ok?

    Will Dell use Nvidias HDMI port or a HDMI port connected to Skylake?
    Nvidia 980 series is until skylake only part that support HDMI 2 and Chroma 4:4:4

    Will the HDMI out support Chroma 4:4:4? (uncompressed picture = you can use a HQ TV as a perfect monitor).
