Find me a TV that’s both designed for gaming and has a DisplayPort. Hell, find me any consumer TV with the port. Remember that the Steam Machine is intended for the living room, not a 27" gaming monitor.
What is your definition of TV in this context? All of these are 55"+, some even show pictures of it in a living room…
To me, practically any display that looks like it belongs in a living room, is a TV. IMO all of the ones I linked would qualify in that way. I realize you probably disagree, but I think it’s possible that other equally valid perspectives than your own can exist. And since you didn’t define what a TV is to you, people can only guess… so why get upset at them when they don’t just happen to have the use the exact same definition of a word?
Look: It doesn’t matter what you think is and isn’t a TV, the fact of the matter is that the target market doesn’t have one of these end doesn’t care. They’ve got their $300 65" Hisense from Walmart, and guess what? Those TVs don’t have DisplayPort. That’s the point.
Now please stop being a pedantic jerk just for the sake of and go away.
Why even bother with HDMI??
ooh I love to pay royalties to and get permission to use the technology and the trademark. /s

Um, I said TV, and all three of these are monitors. Niche monitors at that too, none of them are even in stock.
Furthermore, how many console gamers do you know who have a 55" Alienware monitor in their living room? I did say consumer TV as well, ya know.
Nice attitude.

Aren’t you literally being pedantic on the definition? They’re both displays in the 55 inch range that can display media and are made for consumers.
You’re the one who keeps moving the goalposts.

There’s always this option, could even include something like it in the box.
That’s a passive cable and would require DP++. Funnily enough it would also require a HDMI 2.1 capable driver.
For this specific device you want to be able to hook it up to a TV, and unfortunately TVs tend to come with HDMI, not the superior displayport.
Because love it or hate it, HDMI is the main interface that the vast majority of TVs use.
It will be replaced by GDMI which the Chinese invented in the future anyway.
Did they also invent time travel?
They will invented it
That’s coming in V2
