    Maybe my Google-Fu is lacking, but I am unable to find any updates on this.

    For us guys with 120hz panels, has there been a solution for the non working HDMI-IN on the R3 that does not involve rolling back to an ancient driver?

    I'm a navy guy so having HDMI-IN where space is at a premium is huge, a primary reason for selecting this machine.

    I realize I can downgrade drivers to regain functionality, but I shouldn't have to make the sacrifice in refinement to do so.

    I will give this a try as soon as I have a device to try it with (Away from home).

    I really think your thread should be stickied to help us users who are getting "junk" results in our searches!
