i'd been looking for a 65" panel to play my media on and i decided to go with a smart tv, using it as an hdmi display connected to my #openbsd machine. then i discovered that openbsd doesn't support audio over hdmi and my openbsd server doesn't have analog audio output, obviously. my tv had been connected to a stereo amplifier anyway, so my setup is actually even better now: a dedicated usb dac connected directly to the amplifier.

@hi What are you using to play the videos, and what sort of support for video formats do you have?
