    The history of tech is littered with superior standards but in this case go look at any video card. We haven’t lost out just yet.

      Every device that has a DisplayPort also has hdmi. Not every device that has hdmi also has a DisplayPort. DisplayPort clearly lost.

        Incorrect? I have multiple devices that have DP and no HDMI. I also manage hundreds of devices at work that are the same. Your stance seems to be held up by ignorance.

          Nah, I also manage hundreds of devices and managed thousands at my previous job. You have to go out of your way to support and purchase DisplayPort. It’s not on TVs. It’s rarely on laptops. It’s not on conference room equipment. Anywhere I do find DisplayPort hdmi is right next to it.

            Meanwhile business class monitors have DP, rarely HDMI. All the business desktops and thin clients we have purchased for many years are DP only. Digital signage, all DP. Out of my last three laptops, only one had HDMI, but they all had DP over USB C.

            The only things I see regularly using HDMI are consumer television gear. Almost everything else has been DP first and HDMI second (if at all).

            Though enterprise server hardware is still using VGA lol.

        Yeah, my laptop has a USB-C port with DisplayPort support. And it supports up to 4K @ 60fps where the HDMI port only supports up to 4K @ 24 fps. HDMI can suck dick.

              It’s almost like companies don’t want to pay extra money on every device for a feature the vast majority of consumers would never use… good thing DisplayPort is free, or we’d get neither.
