Comment on HDMI 2.2 will be announced next month — and it may require a new cable

With any luck, everybody goes with DP instead and leaves the HDMI consortium behind as the dinosaurs they are.
Now that they support audio there is no reason not to use it. HDMI still has more audio channels, but for most applications what DisplayPort offers is enough.
HDMI still wins on compatibility due to extremely long dominance, but at least TVs and PCs are moving to it now. It has many advantages over HDMI.
I have yet to see a TV with display port
What’s HTMI
HTML + HDMI
I don’t know if I’m ready for DP yet, if I try to put them in my hole they don’t fit, I could probably make them fit I don’t know I might be doing something wrong and I do have a hole in the front and the back.
have you tried plugging it in the computer instead?

GPUs are mostly all DisplayPort now. It’s rare to see more than one HDMI port on any recent ones. It’s also unusual to see a monitor that doesn’t support DP, especially if it supports high refresh rates.

Do TVs come with DP these days?

I’ve never seen a TV with DP, which is probably why they still include one HDMI on GPUs. You can get large computer monitors and projectors though. I don’t think I would ever want to buy another TV with all of the smart crap they put in them now.

Larger monitors seem to have those “features” as well now. My uncle has bought a pretty big 4k gaming monitor and we did the installation together. It just keeps pestering you about connecting to the internet during the whole setup process.
