I would argue the opposite - DisplayPort has won the computing format war, especially on laptops. Most laptops will have at least two USB-C ports with DisplayPort tunneling. Most business PCs have only DisplayPort connectivity, with the assumption that you'll buy a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (if you have an older monitor that only supported HDMI).
True, we will never see them on the TV, but on the computer it is all DisplayPort.
- gjsman-1000 2y agoIf you buy a ThinkPad, an IdeaPad, or a MacBook Pro, what port is on the right side?
- blueflow 2y agoI just checked my thinkpad fleet, excluding VGA: one has no extra video port, one has HDMI, and 4 have displayport only.
- p_l 2y agoThinkpads will usually have multiple DisplayPorts (some as alt-mode on USB-C), and 1 HDMI for use with roach-motel-quality conference room setups.
- burnerthrow008 2y agoMy MacBook Pro has one HDMI and one DisplayPort on the right side. The left side has two DisplayPort and a MagSafe. Edit: And a MacBook Air would have just the two DisplayPort on the left with no HDMI, plus headphone jack on the right.
- Gigachad 2y agoThe MacBooks HDMI port is also just a usb device internally. Utilising DisplayPort alt mode.
