Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.

Buy monitors instead. Also saves you the have of dealing with “smart TV” bullshit.

Do you know of any big dumb TVs or monitors that I could buy in Europe? I only know of Sceptre TVs which are mostly meant for businesses and storefronts but they are extremely hard to get in Europe.

Biggest I found is the Acer Nitro XV275KP3 Gaming Monitor. You kinda pay gaming hardware prices, but given the support for up to 120Hz and HDR10, I was OK with that. It’s mostly used for gaming, anyway.

A 27" monitor will not be anywhere near a replacement for 60" TV, I’m afraid.

That one is 27". I think that’s way too small for the living room. I also consider 120hz to be overkill for some couch gaming and movies.

Hard to find monitors larger than a certain size that aren’t exorbitantly expensive, and I do like a large screen when it comes to Couch Gaming and watching TV (well, streaming video, I ain’t gonna pay for a TV license just to watch the one terrestrial TV show I actually care about)

Unfortunately, many large monitors are becoming “smart” now.

While I agree, tvs and monitors have different use cases:
