    Crying won't make the majority of the displays or end devices and appliances that only have HDMI go away.

      I presume AMD GPUs will still only run the HDMI port at 2.0 unless they move more code into a black box GSP.

        I agree, for example the BenQ EX321UX I would consider BenQ scamming their customers. It has a 1.4 DP port w/ DSC and they're allowed to advertise it as 2.1.

          designing boards. HDMI is way easier and can reasonably be done by a hobbiest with an fpga in short time, spec complient DP on the otherhand...

            While it's really annoying that HDMI 2.1 went closed... HDMI connectors are now well past patent age and unless you're looking for 10k video, probably any version is going to meet your needs.

            I suspect that HDMI will be killed by USB shortly anyway.

              are you sure thats true for HDMI 2.1 and up? they use a packet-based transport like DP.

              older versions still delivered pixels synchronous to the cathode ray of a CRT would display them, having gaps for vblank/hblank (with no error correction)
              its so atrocious i had to read thru the spec myself to believe it

                DP lost the capacity to know a monitor is still connected but just turned off. This causes desktop/window mess up when one turn off a monitor without turn off the computer.

                  I think that the Linux foundation and many of the othe big companies involved with open source should do something about it, instead of just letting AMD going at it alone.

                  offtopic, the new redesign removed the like button? This sucks.

                    yes, you can... find copies of both the HDMI and PDF spec. It's not the greatest thing ever, but Displayport is a behemoth.

                      HDMI has long overstayed its welcome and deserves nothing more than to fade into obsolescence
