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.

I don’t know this area well. But I have a strong preference for all port shapes to be the same where possible. Can USB-C shaped heads do the same thing as DisplayPort? If not now, is it possible to make it in the future.

Unfortunately this has an even more serious problem: How do you know which cable supports which modes of delivery? Turns out you have a usb c cable that doesn’t actually support power delivery or anything Now what do you do?

Buy a supported cable? That’s a cable issue not a standards or forums issue

USB c cables right now are often counterfeit or inferior to the listed specs You need to test them yourself to know their power delivery and features With a separate port that is a significantly reduced issue

But again that’s not related to a committee stopping the implementation of a standard. It’s a scale of production issue, a labelling issue, and a consumer protection issue. And I like having one port to just dock my machine in for power and display. I do understand how a separate port can help but I don’t see why we can’t have USB C working to its designed spec apart from the reasons I listed above.
