Technically, the Steam Machine supports HDMI 2.1. However, Valve and AMD are not allowed to offer an open-source driver for it.

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.

    After all the shit I’ve seen and heard about the creepy shit smart TV manufacturers get up to I am never ever connecting a smart TV to the internet in my home.

      I didn’t connect my free Roku TV to the new wifi, and suddenly the remote works like shit. Turns out, it’s a wifi remote that would rather not use infrared and the infrared receiver has been slightly blocked this whole time.

      The way to set it up without connecting it to wifi is very hidden. I had to look it up after because I couldn’t figure it out. I fucking hate smart tvs.
