AV Receiver

SirWestofAsh · August 29, 2017

So I recently purchased and returned an Acer XR382CQK and I ran into a problem. Since I am eventually planning on getting and keeping a nicer gaming/professional monitor that pushes the envelope for resolution and refresh rate. I realized something. Which is that I can no longer pass my hdmi through my receiver and into my TV that I was using as a monitor before. I was wondering if any of you folks have heard of any AV Receivers coming out with HDMI 2.1 or 2.0 that in a year or two I could purchase to go with my Volta GPU I'm planning on getting when Volta comes out. So that when I have my nice new 4k 144hz monitor I am able to pass it through the receiver and get my full surround sound goodness when playing games, movies, editing, and etc...

Now I know that I can just run a optical out to my receiver or run display port to my monitor and an hdmi to my receiver to pickup the sound. I did that when I have the xr382cqk but the main feature I missed doing that was being able to go into my receivers options on the display I was using. Also my system kept detecting the receiver as a monitor and would generate 2 displays, 1 for the acer monitor and 1 for the virtual monitor that should have been the receiver.

So all the future purchases and what ifs aside. Has anyone heard of anything or does anyone have any recommendations for me? I'm really into watching TV/Movies, Emulators, Gaming on my PC and I like having a huge monitor that I can chill and watch from a couch. As well as enjoy the surround setup I have.
