It is. And this is the likely to be the solution to this issue. DP is a VESA standard, and its Dual Mode feature supports passive adaptors for, among other things, HDMI displays. I use one on my 20-series RTX card.

A cheap DP-HDMI dongle makes all this go away. As long as VESA doesn't behave the same way, anyway.

That works somewhat well for 1080p but all adapters I have seen max out at 30fps for 4K video. Might be ok for movies but gamers might not like it.

55" monitors with DisplayPort do exist but they are only a selected few and seem to cost 4 times the price of a 4K TV.

So 4K is still pretty much a luxury that I will just ignore for now.

You can even get cables that are DP on the input and HDMI on the output with minimal bulk.

But this feature works by transmitting HDMI signals so you still need to implement the software part in question.
