So... 4k 120fps.. lets see what is the HDMI requirement for that. According to minimum requirements to support 4k 120hz you would need a HDMI 2.0 connection meaning a bandwidth of 18gigabit per second.

So in order to get that down... from roughly 1.8 GIGABYTES per second to something that could stream over a 1 gig connection you're still talking about nearly 10x compression on just the video signal nothing else.

Bullshit metric is bullshit.
