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

I’m not an A/V pro, but is there any reason HDMI can’t be replaced with USB-C? For one thing, having a symmetrical plug is very nice, and for another, I’m sick of buying new HDMI cables because they don’t have the “features” I want to use. Cables shouldn’t have “features”, they should connect two things that have the features.

USB-C won’t help with the “features”, as it has the exact same issue. The new HDMI version requires new cables due to higher transfer rates, the same goes for new USB-C versions. You can’t reach the fastest speeds today with every USB-C data cable.
