    Honestly… in my opinion hdmi needs to die. DisplayPort is superior in every way, especially when driving from thunderbolt/usb4. We are so close to one port for everything, even if we have to continue dongle hell for a while longer.

      There’s no way that the home entertainment world is gonna drop HDMI.

      It may be technically-inferior, but HDMI support means that your computer can talk to home entertainment displays like televisions and home entertainment projectors, not just computer displays.

        Most computer displays also support hdmi too though. In the last though there were usually tradeoffs in using the hdmi input. Now hdmi has caught up enough that usually there’s no difference, assuming the manufacturer is using the latest standard.
