Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.

  That’s what I suspected. So rather than fighting HDMI, we need to buy display port instead.

    Have you looked at the HDMI Forum member list and board of directors?

    • hdmiforum.org/members/
    • hdmiforum.org/about/hdmi-forum-board-directors/

    It includes pretty much every manufacturer who makes decisions which ports to include on their devices. They have no interest in DisplayPort adoption.

      I had a little scroll through yeah. They may not be interested in display port, but they’re sure interested in money. That’s why I suggested people by stuff with display port, rather that try to fight to have HDMI more open.

      I appreciate AMD trying to improve HDMI openness, they’ve always been more open. That’s why I’ve bought AMD oven Intel and nvidia for the last 10 years or so.

      All we can do as consumers is vote with our wallets. That’s all these companies care about.

  Except it’s not on any TVs.

    I thought you can connect DP to HDMI with a simple cable, no adapters needed?

      With VRR?

        I don’t know, can you? Do many TVs support VRR through HDMI <-> HDMI connections, but not DP <-> HDMI?

    Not entirely true, but the enough yes.
