How is Displayport not the norm for video games yet?
Who the frick wants HDMI, it's worse in every way AND it carries sound. Why the frick do you want sound from your monitor?
Do you not have speakers? Can't afford a headset?

      sounds like you cracked the connector, since DP has a locking mechanism it is more prone to that compared to hdmi that can slip out a bit if snagged.

    That sounds like a bonus more than anything. Not sure why you're making it out like a bad thing when there are monitors and TVs that come with built in speakers? That's like asking, "Why does the PS4 double as a blu-ray player? Are you too poor to afford a separate one?"

        That's because I can afford separate speakers but if you're poor and can only afford a TV which comes standard with HDMI then why complain? Beggars can't be choosers and not everyone can afford surround sound speakers or whatever for their home theater. Same thing goes for computers.

    my OLED has no DPI ports 🙁 120hz is enough... right bros???

      HDCP was built primarily for HDMI

      the only benefit i've found for 144hz is that you can play 24fps content without doing 3:2 pulldown but that doesn't really matter when VRR exists
      it's also nice for VR where the miniscule latency difference between 120-144hz might actually be noticeable

    Unfortunately HDMI is the only option for TVs which are some of the best monitors these days if you care about OLED.
    Really sucks because HDMI are buttholes about their spec and who can implement it, so Linux support is and will always be incomplete for HDMI 2.1.

    Because HDMI as a standard is too heavily ingrained now. It's like asking why HD DVD isn't the standard over Blu Ray.

    Why the frick do you want sound from your monitor?
    I have an hdmi switch plugged into my main monitor, one port for the pc, the other for my nintendo switch. The monitor has an audio jack port which i plugged speakers into.
    It's a pretty comfy setup.

      I used to use 23 inch 1080p TV as a monitor for 9 years. With speakers connected, I could easily control volume and switch source from PC to PS3 or PS4 with remote.
      It finally shat itself last year, so I switched to 43 inch 4K TV instead. It's a shame TVs don't come with jack port anymore and they require HDMI ARC to passthrough sound.

    reminder that if you're on an HDMI you might not be seeing the proper refresh rate of your monitor. make sure you double check

    DP carries audio too. HDMI 2.1 has more bandwidth than DP 1.4 and there's not enough devices that support DP 2.1

        >Cheap out on DP
        DP 2.0 is so vastly superior to HDMI 2.1 it's not even funny. You can have a single 4K 120Hz display on HDMI 2.1, while DP 2.0 can have 2x 4K 144Hz on a single cable and it's free for the manufacturer to implement unlike HDMI which has a royalty cost. There's no cheaping out here, the manufacturers are simply using the best. NVIDIA is the only one who still hasn't implemented DP 2.0 in the newest GPUs, while all the rest have followed the times. There's no chance NVIDIA isn't going DP 2.0 for their 4000-series Ti when it arrives.

    DP also has sound. The only reason why it's not the gold standard for everything is due to copyright lobbies back in the day wanted DRM which only HDMI had in the beginning (HDCP) while DP did not, but later had to cave in and add HDCP in order to please the cartel and get a market. Thus HDMI became the standard first on televisions and also on computers which unfortunately carries on to this day, even though DP is a far superior technology, royalty free (HDMI is not) and developed by VESA.
