December 17, 20187 yr In a nutshell, does anyone know what the difference is between Mode 1 and Mode 2 for the HDMI standard on 4K TV's We've got a problem at work with some compatibility problems on TV's and Intel NUCs (native HDMI and USB3 Plugable Adapters and USBC Plugable Adapters). I'm seeing some conflicting information on the internet (what little there is) on which Mode gives the best compatibility for the widest variety of equipment. Maximum resolution and refresh rates are not a concern of mine at all. (ie: 1080p is more than sufficient for our application)
December 17, 20187 yr From what I found, mode 2 enables hdmi 2.0 for that port (might be for all as I don't know your TV) for higher bandwidth. Mode 1 allows for up to 3840x2160@30Hz while mode 2 allows up to 3840x2160@60Hz. I left out the chroma sub-sampling specs now, but check post #5 here.
