> players that want to avoid the issue can use the Steam Machine’s DisplayPort 1.4 output, which supports even more bandwidth than HDMI 2.1 (and which can be converted to an HDMI signal with a simple dongle).

Looks like users can do just that.

That's pretty wrong isn't it? HDMI 2.1 does 48 Gigabit/s. DP 1.4 is ~26 Gigabit/s. I think they meant to compared it to HDMI 2.0 @ 15 Gigabit/s?
