No wonder why Apple took DisplayPort-Mini port for their Thunderbolt interface. Back in 2011!
Monitors have had audio outputs since forever, and now most displays these days are also USB hubs to boot.
Looks like users can do just that.
That's pretty wrong isn't it? HDMI 2.1 does 48 Gigabit/s. DP 1.4 is ~26 Gigabit/s. I think they meant to compared it to HDMI 2.0 @ 15 Gigabit/s?
To use Linux at 4k at a high refresh rate with a TV or other screen that only has HDMI ports, they sell high-performance DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cords for like $30 on Amazon. My Bazzite machine works just fine on a 4K tv at 120hz, and even enables HDR now which it didn’t before with the regular HDMI cord.
If the HDMI forum thing doesn’t work out, I totally could see Valve offering a DP to HDMI cable just so folks don’t need to do extra searching to get the best performance out of their new hardware.
