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.

I understand why, but you didn't have to. Many smart TVs let you set them up without Wi-Fi and just use the HDMI ports.

Samsung, LG, and Google TV models do, but Roku and Fire TV do not.
