This holds some potential for media playback as well, since matching display frame-rate to source material is usually necessary to avoid jerky playback (Some people are very sensitive to any kind of micro-stutter while others don't seem to notice). Of course, playback software will have to support it (easy) and it may be a while before HDTV's or projectors include Nvidia's chip, if that even happens at all! However, if it does happen, this will effectively signal the end of adjusting frame-rate on displays. Even simply allowing higher refresh rates than 60 Hz could clear up a lot of problems.
I don't think Displayport has sufficient bandwidth for 4K video at 144 Hz unfortunately. An upgrade on Displayport may be necessary. Given that HDCP has proven to be utterly pointless, one would hope DRM gets the boot. Encrypting and decrypting data at over 20 Gbit/s is probably a PITA when you're aiming for low latency and low cost.
