The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts' opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

I'm ready, but Amd is not. I want 4k 120hz on my TV via Amd videocard. But this stupid hdmi forum is blocking this.

    I have one working from cablematters. It's slightly finicky (maybe driver issues) but supports HDR, vrr, and 4k@120hz.

    CableMatters 102101

    And on Amazon; don't think it's widely available anywhere else, unfortunately.

    Ignore any commentary about Windows support, because unless something has changed recently, it has poor support on Windows and is missing most features. I have heard mixed things about whether it only supports Freesync on Linux rather than Freesync or VRR. Since my TV supports both and there doesn't appear to be a way to reliably differentiate between the two, I can't confirm either way.

    I found it here as well in a local Amazon store luckily: https://www.amazon.nl/Cable-Matters-Unidirectionele-8K-kabeladapter-ondersteuning/dp/B08XFSLWQF

    Thanks! I ordered it right away and will test it soon on my TV. I will also first check for firmware updates, since people saying to do first a firmware update.

    I'd probably test it out first as it may already have newer firmware, and it gives you a baseline if anything gets better (or worse) after the update. I'll add that Plasma 6 had the best support last time I checked, so test that if you have issues.

    Sure, but most TVs don't, which is the main issue with wanting to connect any Linux AMD build to a TV

    Its HDMI forum issue. Because AMD want to implement in their Linux drivers (which are open-source). But HDMI forum do not want them to become open source, see related issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417

    In fact, AMD already invested several months in fully testing and developing 4k 120Hz. Its possible, but the HDMI forum people are blocking this, because the HDMI forum has the latest saying.. Its all about money this world. And the HDMI forum is evil.
