It didn’t wipe any EDID, it only killed 3 of my 4 HDMI’s. It’s not coincidence after hotplugging the HDMI from the adapter tens of times for a week that 3 of my 4 HDMI’s die. The TV worked perfect for over a year until I used this (already problematic) adapter for only a week. It’s electrical, anything is possible, I know from experience. I’m not mad, I have the extended warranty, but it might be something you’d want to look into.

Also, it’s electrical, anything can happen. So it’s coincidence that after one week of hotplugging the HDMI tens of times, three of four HDMI’s fail? That’s not coincidence, something happened.

What else would cause it? I’ll send you the work order for the repair if you don’t believe me.

This adapter fried the HDMI board on my TV.

Possibly not related, but may have also killed the fans on my video card.

Nope, sorry, I’m done dealing with this piece of xxx, I’m returning it.

Today I turned on my computer to get “mode not supported”. Rebooted, still nothing. Tried HDMI and no signal. Rebooted again and this piece of xxx adapter wiped the EDID from my computer. Gave me 640×480 and “monitor not connected”.

I had to put the xxx xxxx Windows disk in to get signal from HDMI. Now my computer recognizes the monitor again. An entire xxxxx hour wasted out of my day just to get a xxx xxxx simple xxxxxxxx signal to my monitor.

xxxx this adapter and xxxx Club3d. I’m getting my money back and you can keep this problem-causing piece of xxxx.

Yes, it’s set to 8bit.

I’ve tried older catalyst drivers, updated TV firmware, tried every HDMI input, PC mode, game mode, UHD Color mode, nothing seems to work. I can only get 4:4:4 pixel format at 30hz.

I did the firmware update and UHD Color mode now works, however, it’s still not 4:4:4 pixel format. There are no options or settings to change the pixel format in Windows through DisplayPort. The options are available through HDMI only, so I don’t know what to do now.

Samsung UN55HU6830
XFX R9 290X
Monster Cable 5ft 22gbps HDMI
Windows 7 64-bit

I can not get this adapter to work with UHD Color mode enabled. I can get 3840×2160@60hz 4:2:0 only with UHD Color mode turned off.

Set to 8bpc
Updated TV firmware
Tried all HDMI ports
Tried PC mode
Tried different GPU drivers (Currently Crimson 16.1)

When I turn UHD Color mode on, the desktop briefly shows in-between intermittent black screens and “no signal”/”mode not supported” messages, continuously.

I would like to try the firmware update for the adapter.
