• DisplayPort is open and royalty free.[1]
• Easily extensible (packet based protocol)[2]
• More than twice the bandwidth of HDMI[3]
• Planning to replace all display protocols from internal LCD interface to the living room
• Better electrical engineering (tricky clocking, spectrum spreading)
[1] HDMI royalties are about 1/2 the cost of H.264 decoders
[2] And yet I have to plug my USB cable in to get my laptop to see devices hanging on my display. Come on Apple! Read the spec! Implement! You are costing me 4 seconds per day in unnecessary plug fumbling time.
[3] You could hang four 1080p60 displays on a single DisplayPort
