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 big screen, not a 27" gaming monitor.

Now please stop being a pedantic jerk just for the sake of and go away.

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.
