Our TV has a wonky HDMI port. When the cable gets bumped the picture on the screen goes to high-res static. This is not the behaviour I would expect from a digital signal.

@silverwizard You'd think there would be some sort of checksum in the signal or something to prevent this. CRC is not computationally expensive at all.

@silverwizard Though maybe some manufacturers decide it's better to save 10¢ by not implementing the check in their decoding hardware?

@uoou I mean, it's clearly superior to standard definition static.

People'll pay good money for some nice 4k static.

@uoou Sadly, best I can do is 1080p, which I guess is fine since my eyes aren't 4K anyway.

I'm actually hearing a few people going back from 4k to 1080. 1080's certainly enough for me.
