The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

This is what I said the other day about this issue. Good luck finding a decent tv with display port! Those fuckers are rare and expensive!

They are called monitors, and yeah expensive but then you don't get a "Smart TV" with tracking and bullshit.

Just told my elderly aunt to not buy a smart tv today!

But do they make 40ish+ monitors?

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago

They do, but they much more expensive than a smart TV, even though they have less components.. Because a Smart TV is sold for less because its providing the vendor access to you as a product to all of their 3rd party partners.
