combination of DisplayPort*/HDMI*/DVI/eDP*/VGA monitors with the exception of
3 simultaneous display support of HDMI*/DVI . In the case of 3 simultaneous
displays, two High Definition Audio streams over the digital display interfaces are
supported.
• Each digital port is capable of driving resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz
through DisplayPort* and 4096x2304 at 24 Hz/2560x1600 at 60 Hz using HDMI*.
• DisplayPort* Aux CH, DDC channel, Panel power sequencing, and HPD are
