8K 60fps 4:4:4 8bpp uncompressed requires a 96gbit HDMI cable, which is labeled Ultra96 in HDMI 2.2 afaik: https://www.hdmi.org/download/savefile?filekey=Marketing/HDM...

DisplayPort over USB4@4x2/TB5 at 120Gbps would be required for uncompressed 12bpp.

Apologies for not tracking; the monitor in question is spec'd with HDMI 2.1 and TB4 I/O.

Apologies never expected when it comes to USB and HDMI naming and spec stuff. I have to look them up every time.

But, that’s 8K DSC or.. 24fps maybe? then. Weird oversight/compromise for such a pro color-focused monitor, perhaps Asus reused their legacy monitor platform. “8K HDR” at 24fps could be a niche for theater movie mastering, perhaps?
