We need to stop using HDMI, we must force screen makers to switch to DisplayPort.
Beuh, fuck the HDMI forum. I hope the spec is leaked and somebody just makes a kernel module which implements it.
I realize this is probably a solved problem for Windows pirates, but how do you trust the kernel if it’s not from a legal reputable source?
What makes a legal source reputable? Do you think Microsoft is “reputable”?
Being reviewed and used by many people. So if it’s just some guy releasing kernels by himself, then I’d be worried that it might include malware.
I know Windows is garbage, but I assume the people pirating it don’t see it that way, and do care about additional malware. So I’m curious how they approach this problem. Do they just not care about malware in their OS because it’s already that bad?
Why even bother with HDMI??
ooh I love to pay royalties to and get permission to use the technology and the trademark. /s
Because love it or hate it, HDMI is the main interface that the vast majority of TVs use.
Find me a TV that’s both designed for gaming and has a DisplayPort. Hell, find me any consumer TV with the port. Remember that the Steam Machine is intended for the living room big screen, not a 27" gaming monitor.

There’s also some from Asus I think
Um, I said TV, and all three of these are monitors. Niche monitors at that too, none of them are even in stock.
Furthermore, how many console gamers do you know who have a 55" Alienware monitor in their living room? I did say consumer TV as well, ya know.
What is your definition of TV in this context? All of these are 55"+, some even show pictures of it in a living room…
Look: It doesn’t matter what you think is and isn’t a TV, the fact of the matter is that the target market doesn’t have one of these and doesn’t care. They’ve got their $300 65" Hisense from Walmart, and guess what? Those TVs don’t have DisplayPort. That’s the point.
Now please stop being a pedantic jerk just for the sake of a it and go away.
Aren’t you literally being pedantic on the definition? They’re both displays in the 55 inch range that can display media and are made for consumers.
You’re the one who keeps moving the goalposts.

There’s always this option, could even include something like it in the box.
That’s a passive cable and would require DP++. Funnily enough it would also require a HDMI 2.1 capable driver.
That probably won’t work. It will get basic video and maybe audio through, but not features like VRR, which is why you’d care about HDMI 2.1 support at all
For this specific device you want to be able to hook it up to a TV, and unfortunately TVs tend to come with HDMI, not the superior displayport.
It will be replaced by GDMI which the Chinese invented in the future anyway.
Did they also invent time travel?
They will invented it
That’s coming in V2
What kind of cancer is this website? Some fukcing “pur” subscription required.
Ublock has a feature to disable javascript by default. There’s no better way to use the internet in 2025
It’s “pay or OK”, the “pur” subscription isn’t needed for viewing the content. They’ll probably gonna stick to that until the highest court has finally ruled that “pay or OK” is not OK at all.
