Apple isn’t making money on switchresx, it’s not even in the App Store. But Apple has the philosophy of not implementing features that they don’t think people need to keep the software easier to use and not lean. Where I work out UX department has embraced this and it works out very will most of the time.

Frankly his is why Apple is so rich, but not because of greed.

SwitchResX is $15… But the 10 day trial works well enough until you want to connect the computer to a different hdmi 2.0 device later. I went ahead and bought it. Not a big deal.

Is there any chance that firmware could transform the EDID information so we don’t have to define custom resolutions with CVT-RB?  

I’m using a second adapter on a new TV and am trying to avoid buying the utility required to do so on the Mac since my trial expired.

I would try PowerStrip (if using Windows) and force a custom modeline.  The EDID with my Samsung TV is returning an invalid set of timings, but I was able to override them.  I would copy the timings using one of the 4k monitors that works.

I’m on a macbook, so I can’t be more specific. 

Hopefully they will get the firmware EDID stuff worked out further.  I’m sure the challenge is substantial.
