Hello!
I've finally made all the changes I wanted to the build is officially done (except for a little thing, read at the end). Thanks so much for putting this together @trs96 and for your alternative guides @nicksoph.
Here's a few tests I did
After applying the 4K tweaks 99% of the time the display turns ON and receives the video signal soon enough so it doesn't goes back to sleep. Looks like this had a very positive impact on the problems I was having. I wish I could make the wake up process a bit quicker (around 12-14 seconds now) but at least it's working almost perfectly.
I think I also fixed another problem with wake by disabling to allow BT devices to wake the computer. This wasn't happening always but tried with this and looks like now works more reliable to avoid dark waking up of the device randomly or right after it went to sleep.
I'm using the Apple Magic Keyboard and I love that I can use it right on the BIOS as well. Currently using the Fenvi-919 with Wifi/BT working correctly (OOB).
I'm only missing one thing
I'm unable to activate or setup it in a way so the display runs at its full resolution (4k) but doing scalling of the UI to 2560x1440 using HiDPI. As suggested I tried with ResXtreme and SwitchResX (the latter the one that have the most options for custom resolutions) but couldn't find a way around it. I'm starting to think this is not supported by either the Intel HD4600 or the driver itself. (see image attached below, this is using my Macbook Pro)
Get this app!
I'm in love with this app called MonitorControl, using your keyboard (works with Magic Kb too) you can control the brightness and volume of your display IF it supports DDC. Can't recommend it enough. Even if you use a real Mac with a Non-Apple external display... this is gold. In case you use brew, it's on cask too:
I'm planning on installing Catalina GM this weekend on my second SSD and see how it goes. Will report back if you guys are interested.
Thanks once again.
