I wish HDMI would die. DisplayPort is the superior standard. HDMI is useless if GPU manufacturers are not allowed to release open source drivers for it.

If they could add a way for HDMI data signals to go over displayport this could actually happen. Without them the TV world will never change and HDMI will continue to exist. I don't imagine there's much of a technical reason for eARC & CEC being HDMI only features
This exists. In fact, Intel GPUs do not actually support HDMI, they convert to DisplayPort in GPU.
Why is Display Port and HDMI both being developed? I would have thought by now we would have settled on one of them.
HDMI just has too much of an installed base due to TV. But with monitors/computers there are issues with using HDMI.
i think part of it is the DRM built into hdmi. which is also why they would never want to open source it.
can anyone confirm?
