Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support

whats with tvs not having a lot of connection options? Not like it lacks the room for it.

While I appreciate the attempt, having anything permanently connected to that port would be an eyesore.

Does it act as a dumb monitor? Can all smart TV features be permanently disabled?

Sounds great! I’ll gladly pay $200usd for it. I skimmed the article and didn’t see any mention of price, but I expect it to be 10x what I’m willing to spend on a display. Also if it’s a smart tv I’m no longer interested at all.

Now gimme one without smart tv bullshit

Ah so close! If it lacked any smart tv features and had displayport it would be my next tv.

This very cool. Much accessibility for whatever floats yet boat. What about the Epstein files?

I like TV’s I was using 3 1080p 60hz TV’s as monitors. I recently upgraded to a Philips Google TV. 43" 4K, 144Hz, with HDR10 & Dolby Atmos. The difference is amazing. and I love the larger size.

Tldr; This article reads like my own particular preferred brand of copium. Nvidia Tried this with BFG (Big Format gaming Displays) but most of them never made it to market. I think Microcenter carried one model and it was expensive for what you were getting. Back in those days having the nvidia gsync sticker easily double the price of any monitor and making it a ~60" tv wasn’t an exception. I can’t be the only person who wants display port but I fear this must have to do with the HDMI Forum being the current cable standard mafia and supporting anything other than HDMI is like giving up an inch of the total control they have over the TV industry. They (Sony, Phillips, Toshiba, Hitachi, etc) are effectively colluding against TV buyers and controlling the market and eliminating competition. With that being said, the USB-C port on these TVs has been around and Ive seen other reviewers show that the high sense implementation is not the panacea (yet) that gamers desire. Its more for like, plugging in your Macbook to your TV. Still, if this TV came out tomorrow and Wendell from Level1techs said “your Linux pc can get 4k, 120hz, HDR FreeSync out of this” and showed it working, $3500 dollars wouldn’t stop me from buying it.

Can you install KDE TV on it?

>It's not going to be cheap, though — in the US, the 65-inch model is officially priced at $3,499.

HOPEFULLY this is the beginning of the end for HDMI.

Hisense UR9 RGB, but note that the port is on the left bezel of the panel. Hopefully saved you a click.

@kieron115@startrek.website 2026-04-05 23:12
I love that the author refers to Hisense as "it" rather than they. Corporations aren't people!

@foodvacuum@lemmy.world 2026-04-05 14:32
Damn. Too expensive for me. My TV has a dark spot after 8 years. I'm going to be on the market for a new one in the next year or two and displayport would be sweet. Hopefully this starts a trend. This is Hisence and am excited to see reviews for the latest TCL models to drop

Oh good, now you can watch ads on your giant tv when your console or PC game ends because the TV will know. Next: subscription access to play games on said Big TV.

Nobody: Nosense: Let’s put it on the side so you have to look at the cable all the time

@Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2026-04-05 16:34
Actual mini LED (3.5 to 5k nits!!) and display port? \ (And a price to match it, but it's "only" at the upper end of normal consumer TVs.) Ok, where it the enshitification catch?

>over 100% of the BT.2020 pro color space What does this mean? BT.2020 already requires pure monochromatic subpixels (which you're not gonna get with LCD), so you can't go beyond that unless you use 4+ subpixels (in which case the extra colors will just go unused, since HDR video is delivered as BT.2020). Or is BT.2020 Pro a smaller gamut than BT.2020? This article is the only thing I can find on Google which mentions "BT.2020 Pro", at least in English.

Now all peripherals just need to adopt compatibility for this single TV model and it'll catch on.

Holy shit its about time. Using these shitty adapters is annoying.

Does it require an account to operate. Didn't read it. Not going to.
