> displayport's aux channel is a great example of why keeping legacy connectivity around on a second track: it makes lowhgrade kvm like connectivity ultra easy & low cost On this topic, I wish it was used a bit more. What do you mean with that? Do you actually tunnel keyboard and mouse data trough that aux channel? I am not aware of it being supported by any OS? Or are you only referring to DCC data, using it to switch inputs? (Which you can also do on HDMI and VGA screens). If there is any alternative to HDMI CEC on the DisplayPort side, I'm all ears. That and standardized audio support are features where HDMI currently stands out, IMO.
