The licensing on HDMI doesn't allow open source implementations of at least some of the driver stuff.

So it works on Nvidia because of the closed source driver.

and because of this, can't get 4k120 for my tv monitor which doesn't have displayport :( and similar size oled monitors are very expensive.
