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.

Are people just forgetting it has a displayport also? Just ignore HDMI, they got greedy, onto the rubbish pile they go.

The problem is that many TVs have HDMI, but no DP.

[–] Ronno@feddit.nl 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't an HDMI to DP cable work then?

It probably would, but that is already to complicated for most people.

Not if Valve packed it in with the Steam Machine.

That would be a nice idea, indeed.
