For the officially supported full HD 3D, the HDMI 1.4a specification describes the frame packing format where two 1920x1080 frames are packed one above the other with a small pixel space in between, having a total frame dimension of 1920 x 2205.
Looking at the specs of even the most expensive cards available from both NVIDIA and AMD, the maximum vertical resolution that a card can output is limited to 2160 ...and ironically (but not surprisingly) only via the royalty-free Displayport (not HDMI)!
So the question is:
1. Are those who define the HDMI standard (and those who support it) so dumb, OR the nominal resolution in most graphics card's specs can be reversed in x, y dimensions (i.e 4096x2160 -> 2160x4096)? OR it is possible in software to guide the driver so that it will eliminate every other vblank signal and pack two full HD frames to the "frame packing" format?
EDIT: Any player/game/3D vision supports frame packing?
As a last resort:
2. Since some of the new cards support 4096x2160 max res, do most TVs support the optional/unofficial Full SBS format (3840x1080)?
3. Has anyone experience with the Frame Sequential (page flipping) format in full HD, in gaming? Is it supported at all?
4. Where is the 1.4b specification anyway? Is it ...a secret?
