I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and without
a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too
few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my search for something regarding this.

Output limit isn’t a hardware issue, 2560×1440 and higher has been supported since HDMI 1.3 specification and 1.4 supports 4K resolutions.

So it’s mainly a software/drivers imposed limit, mainly because they don’t think the HDMI would be used for higher than standard HDTV resolutions and holdovers from DVI support.

The HDTV industry will be moving towards 4K resolution screens over the next few years though and Windows 8 won’t be imposing resolution limits.

So hopefully we’ll be seeing systems that can support higher resolution over HDMI soon.

There is no equivalent in GTX series. HD Graphics 4000 is as good as GeForce GT 525M (3D Mark Vantage P GPU ~3000).

Yeah, on a quad-core system everything runs smooth. I want to see how it works on an ultrabook with a low power, dual-core chip.

seb24 : I’m waiting for a Samsung 900×4 with Ivy bridge + HD4000. Or an HP 14 Spectre.

Those are two I've been looking at too. Unfortunately the Samsung was a huge letdown when I realized it doesn't really have DisplayPort. It has something they've labeled "Display Port" but it's actually a VGA port with a Samsung-proprietary connector. Ultrabooks with HDMI aren't interesting because they won't drive a 27" 2560x1440 display.
