    It will be replaced by GDMI which the Chinese invented in the future anyway.

    Find me a TV that's both designed for gaming and has a DisplayPort. Hell, find me any consumer TV with the port. Remember that the Steam Machine is intended for the living room big screen, not a 27" gaming monitor.

    Um, I said TV, and all three of these are monitors. Niche monitors at that too, none of them are even in stock.

    Furthermore, how many console gamers do you know who have a 55" Alienware monitor in their living room? I did say consumer TV as well, ya know.

    What is your definition of TV in this context? All of these are 55"+, some even show pictures of it in a living room...

    Look: It doesn't matter what you think is and isn't a TV, the fact of the matter is that the target market doesn't have one of these and doesn't care. They've got their $300 65" Hisense from Walmart, and guess what? Those TVs don't have DisplayPort. That's the point.

    Now please stop being a pedantic jerk just for the sake of a it and go away.

    Aren't you literally being pedantic on the definition? They're both displays in the 55 inch range that can display media and are made for consumers.

    You're the one who keeps moving the goalposts.

    There's always this option, could even include something like it in the box.
