Damn now I have to boycott an entire video connector.

      If TVs would have it that would be nice. I use a PC attached to my TV and don’t have the option.

        TVs are not very good displays for computers. You have to go through a bunch of settings to turn off as much image processing as possible. Even then, the latency will still be higher than a gaming monitor. You have to disable overscan, which always seems to be on by default even though it’s only useful for CRTs and makes absolutely no sense for a digital display with digital signals. Also, I’ve never had a single TV that will actually go into standby when commanded. It will just stay on with a no signal message when the computer turns off the output.

        There was a panasonic (I think it was them) that had a Displayport connection, but that didn’t last.

        I suspect HDMI threatened to cut their licence if they kept putting DP on the TVs.

      Because the cartel members want their super high res content only available with Genuine DRM Bullshit™. The gambit won’t work, of course, but they’re gonna try like hell.
