The problem is that many TVs have HDMI, but no DP.
Then buy a DP to HDMI 2.1 dongle
No problem for me, but many consumers don't think that far.
What we want is a solution for customers who don't understand the benefit of DP and won't buy an adapter when there's already HDMI ports on both devices.
Wouldn't an HDMI to DP cable work then?
It probably would, but that is already to complicated for most people.
Not if Valve packed it in with the Steam Machine.
That would be a nice idea, indeed.
