I'm waiting for HDMI cartel (run by major TV makers) to stop poisoning devices with HDMI. Time to adopt DisplayPort everywhere.

- zzo38computer 7y agoI don't like HDMI either, but I want Digi-RGB + analog audio + IMIDI (each on a separate cable). Still, stuff such as DisplayPort is at least better than HDMI, I suppose.
- shmerl 7y agoI suppose something even more advanced like USB4 can bundle it all if needed.
- zzo38computer 7y agoMy own idea is to define a standard arrangement of the connectors, and allow the cables to be clipped together; the user can then clip or unclip them if wanted. That way you have the advantages of both: having separated cables, and having all stuff in one cable.
- jayflux 7y agoYou will be waiting a long time.
- shmerl 7y agoSomeone will break up that collusion eventually. There is no need to pay those parasitic fees that they keep HDMI around for.
- rym_ 7y agoCould you explain why DP is so much better?
- shmerl 7y ago1. When making devices with DP, you don't need to pay for patents, unlike in case of HDMI where you need to pay the parasitic HDMI cartel for devices produced with it. 2. DP is more advanced technology, since it's using packet design (network protocol like), rather than simply a digital signal. So it allows what HDMI can't, for example driving several devices through one cable.
