   Well, maybe I should have seen your link before I posted. Not sure about that one. The link I sent you does work. If this is a step down you may want to rethink it.

	I use this adapter for my monitor since I only have 1 HDMI and 1 DP. Yes, it works. It's not a step down, it's a step up. It turns your 1.4 to a 2.2. Cyberlink Ultra Blu-ray adviser does read it at 2.2.

	Check this out -- this is an HDCP 2.2 - HDCP 1.4 step-down converter! It seems to be aimed at 4k TVs that are limited to HDCP 1.4 , but Im guessing if it works for a 4k TV it will work for a 4k monitor with HDCP 1.4 on the DP. (sorry - my screen has HDCP 1.4, not 2.0. I misread that) Will this link post? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15242&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrNKYicfC2QIVC4hpCh3ZJgXXEAQYASABEgKLbfD_BwE Edited by Milkman - 26 Feb 2018 at 10:45am

	Awww no... sorry for all the comments. No, that wont work. That takes the DP out from the GPU and converts it to HDMI into the monitor. The acer predator xb1 28" only does 24hz on the HDMI port, so it wont work. : ( Is it possible, lol, to put an in-line HDCP 2.2 adapter on the display port?? Im going to have to swap this monitor out, Im pretty sure.

	OMG! That might work! Question: do you know FOR SURE that will ENABLE HDCP 2.2 compliance? Adding that in-line, to my DP cable between the monitor and the GPU, will ADD HDCP 2.2? The item says "HDCP compliant" but does not say if it will ENABLE that if you only have 2.0 or under.

	Wait -- sorry. I read that wrong. Will that take my DP and convert to HDMI that can do the same performance?? It will do HDMI 4k @ 60hz??? If so.... I am IN!!!!!! Checking that link right now.... Ill get right back.

	Im using DP because if I use HDMI I am limited to 24hz @ 4k. I have to use DP for 4k/60hz on this screen. The adapter might give me HDCP 2.2 on HDMI, but not DP. I sent ASrock an email last week. Waiting for reply.

	Are you hooking up your monitor through DP or HDMI? If it's DP, here is an adapter you can use to fix that HDCP 2.2. It will turn you DP into a HDMI plug so you can use HDMI. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZ6UT21/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As always, if it is not clickable copy and paste it. Contact ASRock or use you tube to find your SGX for your model. Let me know.

	No, lol. This system plays 4k games. It plays 4k video content. There is a vendor-specific issue with SOME 4k content. What it WONT play is: 4k Netflix streams 4k Amazon Prime video streams 4k BluRay disks. What it will play: Any 4k content with DRM removed. This is very simple. Again - I DO NOT HAVE AN EMBEDDED INTEL GRAPHICS CHIPSET. My ASrock x299 Taichi board DOES NOT HAVE INTEL GRAPHICS. I don't buy boards with discreet graphics. The intel graphics issue is related to POWERDVD 17 4k BluRay playback only. Cyberlink must FIX THIS ISSUE, not try to force people to.... get intel graphics accelerators. This has nothing to do with other 4k playback issues on this platform. The other issue I have is the HDCP version of the Acer predator xb1 series 4k monitor -- even though it is a brand new, expensive, 4k monitor, for some reason it only supports... HDCP 2.0. I am working with the vendor to replace this -- they will NOT stick me with a $700 monitor that blocks me from playing netflix, amazon, etc, in 4k. The last issue I have is the ASrock x299 Taichi board's Intel Management Engine Firmware is not allowing SGX to run. This is related to a firmware update that ASrock and/or Intel must provide. 1. Cyberlink MUST fix limitation that forces "intel graphics chipset" for 4k BluRay playback, or they will refund my money. 2. Acer will provide me a way to make this XB1 series 4k monitor HDCP 2.2 compliant, or they will swap this monitor out for the larger version of the same monitor that DOES support HDCP 2.2. 3. Intel/ASrock must issue a new ME FW and/or x299 BOIS FW update to support SGX, or they must advise me on some sort of process to get it working so that I can use this board as the basis for a PC.

	Your system probably does play 4k content, just with your on board graphic card like the Intel one. Mine does play UHD 4k Movies but only through the Intel 630 on board graphics. I also bought a Pioneer UHD Optical Drive. So, did you ever find your SGX? I have an ASRock Z270 and this is where mine is located. Go to bios screen, advance tab, cpu configuration and scroll down to the bottom and mine is listed there. So if you have ASRock as well, should be same place. Again, I had to down grade 1 in my bios to make it work. I will have to go find my emails to know which version for sure and ASRock sent me a IME driver not listed on their page, since the one on the page did not work, and it turned it on all. From that point I could play my 4k movies. If you have any other question let me know.
