The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

It doesn't matter if you get one. They are the cheapest and best image quality TVs available, and many like Samsung's let you set them up without connecting to Wi-Fi.

    Yeah, is a fucking sad state of affairs. I actually paid extra for my dumb TV, but then hooked up a jailbroken firestick so I guess I'm a hypocrite.

    I understand why, but you didn't have to. Many smart TVs let you set them up without Wi-Fi and just use the HDMI ports.

    Samsung, LG, and Google TV models do, but Roku and Fire TV do not.
