    HDMI is the proprietary monopoly scam. It is added to devices by the owning members of the scam. Display Port is the open source free equivalent standard that the educated consumer goes looking for.

      Problem is, very few things output or input DP.

      HDMI, for better or worse, seems to be ubiquitous.

        A lot of laptops nowadays output video over usb c, in most cases they use DisplayPort alt mode, which as the name implies is just DisplayPort.

        That doesn’t solve the issue of every x in 1 dongle only having HDMI or TVs only having HDMI inputs

            Give it a few years and most people won’t have those devices anymore. Hell, we might already be there. If sony wasnt a founder of HDMI, TVs everywhere would probably use DP already
