    Is there anyway to have HDR output from the alienware 15r4 to a 4k tv?

    Just to mess around , i hooked up via hdmi to my samsung ks9000 tv and it looked sick, but it did not support HDR and only stayed at 8-bit color.

    I'm new to this laptop etc., so im sure this question has been asked a million times, but google was no help. On Nvidia's website they list the 1080 as supporting 4k and HDR. I have a pretty sweet 4k setup and im aware of why we are stuck at 60hz over hdmi with 4k, and HDR with the current hdmi limitations so i know there will be no 4:4:4 , but even the xbox one x supports 4:4:2 to allow 10 bit HDR @ 60. I've never used a display port and don't know a thing about their limitations. Can anyone explain it to me or if they got it working let me know what they did. My tv autodetected the PC and switched into PC mode anyway so the picture looks like HDR is enabled anyway, and anyone who has seen the Samsung ks9000 picture can explain how insane it is. Its brighter then the Lg's OLED screens to give you an idea so pc games and function in general looks great.
