Those did not fit two full size ports, just one. The newer ones have two mini HDMI ports. Yes, it’s a trade off.

- zbrozek 3y agoMaybe someone wants two video outputs from a Raspberry Pi, but I sure don't. I'd much rather have a normal connector.
- Larrikin 3y agoIn any situation where I would want to use a Pi with a display instead off SSH into it, I'd always prefer the option of having the ability to run two screens over one. The mini HDMI port is only an annoyance if you buy one, but had an old one with a regular HDMI port and realize you needed to buy a couple extra things once. Its not like a a USB-C only Macbook where you might actually be bringing it to various different locations and unexpectedly need to do a presentation.
- fragmede 3y agoThe versatility of the Pi is part of its appeal. Driving projectors unexpectedly is just one of many use cases for it that aren't immediately obvious.
- Larrikin 3y agoWhat is the imagined use case where you have a Pi in your bag (for some reason), the USB-C power plug that rated to run it, a mouse and keyboard, an Ethernet cable, want to display the Pi, refuse to SSH into it, and didn't bring one of the two cables you have to output the display? Maybe a found Pi sensor in a war zone that has been logging environmental data? I'm struggling for another scenario.

- elromulous 3y agoIdk why people are down voting you just because they disagree with you. To the downvoters: disagreeing with someone is not a reason for a downvote. Belligerent comments or false information are. OP was merely expressing an opinion.
