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

    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.
