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.
Yup. Especially since “smart TVs” that are WiFi connected can spy on your HDMI connection. Samsung, LG and Visio were caught doing it.
