Same. I live in the Mac world. When I took a job where I had to use PCs at work I was surprised to see they were mostly using HDMI with some people using older DVI equipment.
I had just assumed everyone had transitioned similar to Macs has years before.
Nope. Lots of people use/want HDMI to this day.

- SamuelAdams 3y agoDisplay port to HDMI cables exist.
- loup-vaillant 3y agoCorrect, and the article itself stated the conversion (DP source to HDMI sink) is very easy. Still, I can see laptops choosing the most popular port regardless of the possible conversion. Anecdotally when I go to work the cables I see are mostly HDMI. (This is where I’d love to have a Framework-like laptop, where I could just swap between HDMI and DP output with the relevant output module).
- nayuki 3y ago> Still, I can see laptops choosing the most popular port regardless of the possible conversion. Yeah. It's silly that my old Lenovo ThinkPad X220 (bought in 2012) has a full-size DisplayPort port whereas my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 (bought in 2019) has a full-size HDMI port. It's like it's regressing.
