It is. For a long time DP was the only standard that could do variable refresh rate. Even today all high end monitors have DP while the cheapest monitors only have HDMI.
- fireflash38 3y agoWhich is ironic considering the cost of the HDMI port is likely higher than the DP one due to licensing!
- dagmx 3y agoHDMI is table stakes for most people. DisplayPort is not. So it’s not that HDMI cost being higher but HDMI+DP being higher.
- bick_nyers 3y agoI just wish TV manufacturers would start putting Displayport into their TVs. GPUs nowadays use 3x Displayport and 1x HDMI, which is quite the bottleneck if you want to max out your ports. As I understand, HDMI <-> Displayport converter cables often do not have the high end features you might want, such as 4k/120Hz HDR, and/or Variable Refresh Rate. Perhaps this has improved in recent months.
