    Uh-huh, and what TV are you going to plug this gaming PC into that necessitates HDMI 2.1? HDMI 2.0 runs 4k/60 just fine.

        I mean that’s just a super rare choice of TVs that very few people are actually going to be using.

          Why are you so against this? Just because it’s a smaller group of people that needs this feature it’s not worth implementing, and the people that need it can just suck a fat one? Also, assuming technology keeps advancing, wanting more than 4k60 output isn’t going to be a rare request as time moves on.

            I’m not against it at all. It just seems super unimportant.

            When I got a “TV” I just got one with DP, personally.

              I’ve never even seen a tv with dp before lol, nevermind one with the specs i’m after. Although tbf i’m not that informed about the tv market. I only payed attention to it when i wanted one for the desk.

                Well I put “TV” in quotes because I don’t know exactly what the difference is. The 2 devices have distinct general features but they’re not strict. Mine is a 48" OLED.

          Take of that what you will, but I have the same specs/requirements as that other person.

          I don’t think it’s as rare as you assume: couch gaming PCs are a thing, and expecting similar compatibility as consoles is normal.
