With the greatest of respect, this is a deeply silly way to think of it.

The way you should be thinking of it is:

> I'm not buying a new monitor that requires DSC to run at native resolution. That's fucking garbage.

Since DP 1.4, the only thing the DisplayPort version indicates that an end-user gives a shit about is the maximum supported speed link speed. So, if all you need is HRB3 to drive a display at its native resolution, refresh rate, and maximum bit depth without fucking DSC, then DisplayPort 1.4 will be just fine. And if DSC doesn't bother you, then your range of acceptable displays is magically widened!
