Comment on Why open source rocks – a new SM750 (Silicon Motion GPU) HDMI Driverparent

Comments

Yeah, I could've been clearer.

VGA displays are something of a dying breed, and HDMI is the single likeliest interface you might find on a random newish display, so there is a market for absolute cheapest, most basic HDMI output device you can make. If you're going to build that interface, 1080p is the resolution you need to target. My point was simply that 16MB is just barely enough to build that interface, and barely enough is still enough.
