Hi,

 

I'm having troubles with my HD4600 on HP EliteDesk G1 mini while using TV over HDMI/DP. HP have only two DP ports, so I'm using DP to HDMI adapter to connect it to my Sony Bravia TV.

 

I got Television: Yes and 24bit palette when I connect to TV. Resolution is fine (1080p), but something is definitely wrong. I got some weird contrast, weird resolution, and everything is just in low quality (screenshot probably is not showing that). It's like it's upscaled or something. When I connect to regular PC Monitor with FullHD with the same cable, everything is fine, problem is only when my PC detect it's using TV.

 

Is there any way to fix it?

 

Some basic kexts for network, fakesmc, smbios etc.

Everything seems to be working fine, but the screen quality on TV...

 

Specs of PC:

 

i5-4590t

8GB RAM

HD4600

512GB SSD

ALC221 sound

i219-v ethernet

 

I tried to rename my HDMI ports to PC, DVI, DVI-PC and everything else that google told me to, not working.

Read something about EDID edit, but I don't understand that.

I had exactly same problem with my previous build with GTX 1060 on High Sierra, so it's definitely something with connecting it to TV (pc monitors are working fine).

Funny part is that when i rename HDMI to PC, and connect Windows 10 or Linux Deepin, everything is fine. Without renaming it looks {censored} too (as in macOS). Renaming seems to fixit, but not on macOS sadly.

hi Herve,

 

we have two Bravias here, never had any issues with hacks or macs.

 

i dont know if they are the best TVs but when you view side by side in shop i think Sony looks better?

 

i was saying, in Polish, that he should try Mac Mini 7.1 2014 on that hardware, it's working well on my 4570t box with minimum fuss no DSDT - works perfectly like a mac mini.

 

 

 

Can you post smbios for macmini7.1? I can only find 2.1, 5.1, 6.2

Ok, I'm officially an idiot.

The 1080p timing, when applied to the HDMI input, will be treated as a video timing and not a PC timing. This will affect the System Settings and Displaysettings. To view PC content:

- Set Scene Select to Graphics

- Set Screen Format/Wide Mode to Full

- Set Display Area to Full Pixel. (Display Area is configurable only when Auto Display Area is set to Off.)

 

And that's it...
