The patches allow higher refresh rates and resolutions beyond TMDS limits, with 4K@120 confirmed working on Panther Lake and Meteor Lake. Display Stream Compression (DSC) is not yet implemented, meaning 8K and some other high-resolution/refresh-rate combinations remain unsupported for now. The work is described as a design review and foundational landing effort, with DSC support and broader platform testing still ongoing. Upstreaming is targeted for the Linux v7.4 cycle. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
