I'm not fully up-to-date with bleeding edge display technologies but is there any reason that a passive DP to HDMI adapter couldn't easily solve this issue? And would it cause Valve any strife to include one in the box?
Passive DP-to-HDMI adapters only work if the device on the Displayport end supports Dual-Mode, i.e. using the Displayport to send an HDMI signal. They often do, but it would require the same driver support for HDMI 2.1. So this would require an active adapter.
Bother 😒
