Could you elaborate a bit more? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] plateee@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago (3 children) TL; DR - you can control some aspects of your TV (volume, input selection, etc) if your TV and GPU supports the HDMI-CEC protocol. I'm not sure if many retail GPUs support CEC, but I'm guessing the OP is suggesting they are few and far between. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago As far as I know they don't exist at all. It's just not really needed for PC gpus permalink fedilink source parent [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago Also, if you use an AV-receiver, you can switch all devices on with just the controller. That, in my eyes is a huge USP for the Steam Machine. Of course anyone can build a PC on a similar budget. But that won't work as well as a living room gaming device. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TingoTenga@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago Ah, thanks. I just didn't get whether the implication was the Steam Machine would support it and the French Stim machine would not. permalink fedilink source parent
