HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD - Phoronix
Oh, well fuck HDMI then
You're viewing a single thread.
I've already started preferring displayport for monitors. Now I'm going to prefer monitors without HDMI at all, if they exist.
Any TVs come with DP?
Is displayport a more open standard, or more open source friendly?
DP is by VESA, who brought you such bangers as VGA, DVI, standardised mounting systems, DDC (which enables EDID), EDID.
Although there is controversy about them not supplying the standards documentation for free, i dont believe it is licencesCool, I had no idea! Very good to know ☺️
Some newer TVs come with DP over USB-C.
There's also the option of getting a DP to HDMI converter. I'm personally waiting for one that supports DP 2.0, along with VRR and HDR10+. There's a DP 1.4 one right now, but AFAIK it uses DSC to display the full 4k120, which isn't lossless.

I am very intrigued. Where would I find such a TV?
I think Hisense makes something with it. It's meant to be able to plug in phones directly. Will probably be becoming more common.
That's a really good question!
Unfortunately unlikely to both. The displays all likely have the same controller boards with HDMI support baked in. The TVs are going to be made for people who still have cable and streaming boxes, and unless something has changed, those are all HDMI. Unless a manufacturer not in the forum decides to make a display, I don't really see anything without HDMI existing.
