How many 65" Displays with Display Port are there? Also, don't nVidia GPUs only support the nearly 10 year old Display Port 1.4, which doesn't support variable refresh rates for high resolution/high framerate displays? Sure, buying an AMD GPU is a solution, if you don't mind worse drivers and higher power usage for less performance.

(To be clear: I want HDMI to die, DisplayPort to win, and AMD to get their crap together. But at the end of the day, we need support on both the GPU and the Monitor/TV side, and that's where it's lacking.)

Maybe you loaded the comments in the window of time where I had not yet added some additional details.

I am specifically advocating for using monitors that connect using USB-C connectors and the DisplayPort protocol.

I am not a big fan of the DP connector itself. I have a monitor that supports it, and I’ve used it with that one and others in the past. But USB-C connector (like one of my other monitors has) and DisplayPort protocol is far superior.

Oh yeah, no objections on the principle: DisplayPort is awesome.

The regular DP connector is fine because at least it locks in (sometimes too well), and MiniDP has been pretty great (especially when chaining multiple monitors on systems that support multi-stream, so anything except Apple).

I do have a love/hate relationship with USB-C, mainly because you need to double, triple, and quadruple check that the cable actually has all the wires in it for DP and not just USB 3 or even worse, USB 2.

In a perfect world, HDMI would be a historical artifact. In the current world, it's sadly a necessity for big TVs or many gaming setups :(

The ludicrous part is how many TVs display 4K@120, but can only input 2K@120 or 4K@60, just because they have exclusively HDMI 2.0 ports instead of including a DisplayPort 1.4 port.

It looks like the 50 series will support it

Hallelujah!
