    Problem is, very few things output or input DP.

    HDMI, for better or worse, seems to be ubiquitous.

      A lot of laptops nowadays output video over usb c, in most cases they use DisplayPort alt mode, which as the name implies is just DisplayPort.

      That doesn’t solve the issue of every x in 1 dongle only having HDMI or TVs only having HDMI inputs

          Give it a few years and most people won’t have those devices anymore. Hell, we might already be there. If sony wasnt a founder of HDMI, TVs everywhere would probably use DP already

      So here’s what we do to fix that situation: don’t buy those things

        Tell me where I can buy a 65-80" 4K 144Hz HDR OLED with a DP port for under $2K, and I’ll gladly ditch HDMI for good.

          There are no TVs with displayport outside the commercial space, let alone one with your seriously specific requirements. Were you trying to trick someone into being your personal shopper?
