Identifying whether a laptop has HDMI 2.0 or 1.4


Sorry if this is considered off-topic - not sure where else to ask this. I have a ASUS ROG GL552VW laptop and am trying to figure out whether the HDMI port on it supports HDMI 2.0. I wish to use it to output 4k content onto a TV. However, after reading the manual, and a few hours of searching online I simply cannot find this information. I also struggled to find it for other laptops too. Is there some driver I can look for on my laptop which would tell me if it does indeed support HDMI 2.0? Or something else?

TL;DR Does this laptop "ASUS ROG GL552VW" support HDMI 2.0?

  • I voted for a move to superuser.com since it might be better for this question. However... I think I can answer as well.

    Your laptop appears to have a Nvidia GTX960M which apparently does not support HDMI 2.0: https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-960M.138006.0.html You'll be able to run a 4k TV but only at 30 Hz, which is enough for most movies but can be limiting for some.
