HDMI & LG G4 TV
Context:
Purchased a LG G4 TV to pair with my Bazzite Home PC, it’s using a 7090XTX and a 5700x3d cpu. I also purchased a cable matters display port to HDMI 2.1 cable as I’ve seen many forum posts discussing the issue of HDMI 2.1 and Linux.
Issue:
Using the display port adapter, I had no luck getting it work, 120hz options not possible, 60fps are the only options in steam game mode. Tried setting it desktop mode, try changing all kinds of settings on the TV, no dice.
Quirks:
During my troubleshooting, to my surprise, I tried plugging in a HDMI cable and bam, 120hz and HDR workng. Is there something I’m missing here? Isn’t this not supposed to work? Any type of help information to help me better understand this is appreciated.
Questions:
Why did the hdmi cable work? And why did the adapter not? Any type of information or background on the subject is appreciated!
