Nowadays the Intel Graphics Command Center on MS Windows 11 actually is no
longer being used to configure the resolution / orientation / refresh rate /
scaling of connected displays. That is now being handled via the native Windows
Settings app.

The Intel Graphics Command Center only offers the settings that the native
Windows Settings app does not have, such as RGB range (0-255 or 16-235), color
depth (8 / 10 / 12 bit), color format (RGB / YCbCr 4:4:4 / YCbCr 4:2:2 / YCbCr
4:2:0) for example.

And HDMI content type of course.

Actually the Intel Graphics Command Center (or MS Windows) does not simply
force the HDMI content type setting. Because it at least offers users a choice.

Unlike KDE Plasma, which currently forces the "Graphics" HDMI content type and
thus forces connected TVs into the PC and/or Game mode.

While it's very much appreciated that KDE Plasma is able to configure the HDMI
content type setting and while setting it to "Graphics" by default is not
necessarily an issue, forcing it and not allowing users to change it is an
issue. Because some users might not want a TV to use the PC and/or Game mode.
Because: While these modes might provide the cleanest image and lowest input
lag, they might not provide the same color accuracy as other modes like "Movie"
for example, which some users might prefer, especially for HTPC use-cases.

Therefore a "Content Type" drop-down with the following values should be added
to  "System Settings > Display & Monitor > Display Configuration" (basically
below or above the "RGB range" drop-down) to adjust the corresponding
ContentType drm property:

* Automatic (= current behavior where "Graphics" is set by default)
* None (= not setting the ContentType drm property at all, i.e. leaving it
disabled)
* Graphics
* Photo
* Cinema
* Game

Can this (or something similar) be implemented?
