      You do realize that all modern consoles support upscaled 4k at 120hz right and the steam machine is directly competeing with these console.

      Most people don’t have a tv capable of outputting this but newer tvs do support higher frame rates for reasons like high frame rate gaming

      Hdmi 2.1 will be important for future proofing

        I do not understand this word salad.

        Yes, very expensive high end ones that very few people are buying. And always will, because they’re niche products.

            In that case, I’d argue thats just marketing nonsense because they’re not going to be running anything more graphically intensive than Tetris at 4k/120.

              Yep modern consoles upscale to 4k so some games can run upscaled 4k/120 which is marketing nonsense when they advertise true 4k.

              The point is that if I have a tv that is capable of outputing what the hardware is advertising (regardless of how rare that tv is), then I should be able to see that output on my screen regardless of the port I use for display
