The fact boot codes displays are getting pushed to always more expensive motherboards - and there is no standard way to get them otherwise - drives me crazy.

The economic tradeoff would be interesting.

How many good boards get RMA'd because they provide no feedback that you're in the middle of memory training, versus the $1 BOM addition to put a seven-segment display-- or hell, one of those 1" OLED modules-- on boards other than the $300+ "Autonomous Collective of Joystick Monkeys" X870E Torpedo Grenade ExplodyThingy Max?
