Blackmagic hardware is outputting every 2K signal as HD. I can switch to HD or 4K and the full image is displayed again. Seems that BMD cannot display 2K even though they say it's a supported format.

Hi,
This has been my experience also, either it's an intentional limitation from BM or it's an HDMI limitation. 2K is supported however, over DCI !
I discovered this recently as I finally jumped the gun and got a 4K monitor but it only has HDMI input and I still work with many 2K (or HD) projects. Since I have a 4K monitor, I've found a workaround but that implied getting a Ultra Studio 4K Mini as the UltraStudio 3G monitor I had doesn't support 4K. With the Ultra Studio 4K Mini I can output to 4K DCI and even if my timeline is 2K I can just scale the output.
Now as I shoot mostly in 4K DCI I set my timeline to that and then when I've finished postproduction I output to 2K.
Cheers,
Damien
