(actually works both directions, e.g. if you have a portable display with only Type-C connectors like this https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-e14-g4-portable-monitor https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-e14-g4-portable-monitor — BUT it can't power the display, you need to use another connection on the display for that.)
There is no HDMI over Type-C (there was an attempt at it, but it died. Probably for the better of not having even more Type-C confusion and interoperability issues.)
- globular-toast 2y agoThe "relevant devices" is surely referring to the displays here. I would love to go DP for everything but the best I can seem to find is computer monitors with 1 DP input and usually 2 or more HDMI. For living room type displays you won't find DP at all.
- eqvinox 2y agoFor PC displays on geizhals.eu, out of 3327 products: 157 (4.7%) have 2 DP inputs 2446 (74%) have 1 DP input 724 (22%) have no DP input Including USB-C ports, 949 (29%) have ≥2 DP inputs 1806 (54%) have 1 DP input 572 (17%) have no DP input Compare HDMI: 1350 (41%) have ≥2 HDMI inputs 1791 (54%) have 1 HDMI input 186 (5.6%) have no HDMI input I agree it could be better but I don't think it's as bad as you make it out to be. Looking through the devices that have no DP input at all, 488 of the 572 have VGA inputs, which I'd say indicates an older generation of devices. "Consumer" electronics (i.e. TVs) is a problem though, I'll agree.
