This is the sort of thing that to me highlights the inherent inefficiency of proprietary software and processes.
"Oh sorry, you'll need our magic hardware in order to run this software. It simply can't happen any other way."
Turns out that wasnt true which of course it isn't.
Imagine instead of everyone could have been working together on a fully open graphics compute stack. Sure, optimize it for the hardware you sell, why not, but then it's up to the "best" product instead of the one with the magic software juice.
We had an older Hitachi tv with 4 HDMI plus component plus RCA input and 4 different options for audio input.
New Samsung TV. 2 HDMI, that's it. One is ARC which is the only audio interface besides TOSLINK so really theres effectively 1 HDMI to use.
But of course all the lovely ~~spyware~~ smart features more than make up for it.
