HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected. (www.heise.de)

Why even bother with HDMI??

ooh I love to pay royalties to and get permission to use the technology and the trademark. /s

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.

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

That's a passive cable and would require DP++. Funnily enough it would also require a HDMI 2.1 capable driver.
