Why do you assert that everyone is happy with HDMI? It has a lot of problems even before we get into the technical details. For example, it is so secretive and closed that the HDMI forum won't even let AMD implement HDMI 2.1 in their Linux driver: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hdmi-forum-to-amd-no-you-cant-make-an-open-source-hdmi-2-1-driver/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hdmi-forum-to-amd-no...

- dathery 2y agoWhy would a random small business owner have opinions about DisplayPort vs HDMI...? I do not think that is a very useful benchmark for evaluating technology standards, and it is kind of a conversation killer to use it to avoid engaging with specific technical points people are bringing up in reply to you. This is a technical discussion forum, after all.
- unclad5968 2y agoBy that logic HDMI would never have gotten popular in the first place. No small business owner ever cared about what cable they connect to their TV as long as they have access to it.
- Yeul 2y agoWasn't the DRM black box the whole reason why HDMI exists? Like I personally don't give a shit about that but content distributors do.
