displayport is the modern successor to vga.

I wish DisplayPort would become the standard already. It's superior in every way.

HDMI is the microUSB of the video world and I wish it would die already in lieu of DP and USB-C/ThunderBolt.

Why not USB C? It can carry a DP signal and (obviously) do all the USB stuff you'd ever need too.

It's superior in every way.

Not every way, it doesn't do audio. That's really the only downside.

[–] dracc@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's incorrect. DP has had audio (up to 8 channels, 24bit@192kHz) since 1.0, nowadays it supports up to 32 channels and 1536kHz sample rate. Wikipedia has the official standards PDFs linked.

I stand corrected

HMDI can also do ethernet, which is very convenient. If you have two devices that support it.

And pass remote control inputs
