Because it's a PC and not a console, it should use PC video ports.

It is a PC, not a console, therefore it needs to provide lots of options, because Personal Computers are everything about OPTIONS. I am tired of idiots who don't understand this.

Originally posted by Danny3 View PostThere are only two standards now, what so hard for a GPU to cover both of them, both the monitors with DP and TVs with HDMI ?

I guess for them putting a third input type like DP is redundant and don't want to since is not compatible with DVD / Bluray players and STBs.
I wouldn't mind if they would put a few DP inputs too.

It's a high quality video + audio + ethernet + CEC standard and should be supported.
And paying royalties seems normal to me.
People who worked for years to design it must be payed.
And I don't get how can anyone pay 200-300 dollars / euros for a GPU and the GPU manufacturer say that it cannot affort to 10 cents - 1 dollar for royalties ?
Just look at the Radeon VII fiasco...
It has the horsepower to to power a 4K @ 120 Hz TV, but because of the video output bottleneck it cannot do it in practice and that's a very expensive GPU.
Do they really want us to believe that they could not afford to pay the royalties ?
Or what's AMD's solution for that, throw away the TV to garbage and put a small computer monitor on the wall ?

And of course, Ethernet and CEC are second class even on consumer AV hardware. CEC commands are barely able to turn other devices on and off, let alone agree on how to change volume. Ethernet is worse, with manufacturers completely unable to agree on how to use it.
DisplayPort is a far better computer monitor standard, with good support for standby modes, bidirectional data and multiple transport streams on the same cable. It's data bandwidth is reliably higher than HDMI as well, with manufacturers generally implementing higher speeds in DP first. It is unfortunate that large televisions rarely implement DP. I have the impression it is mostly because the TV manufacturers are cost-cutting tightwads even on their high end $5,000+ systems.
