The HDMI Forum has rejected our proposal unfortunately. At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.

    In my experience, its cause monitors are already over priced, and adding a display port to it seems to add at least another 100 on top of that.

    Which is why I prefer HDMI. Less cable headache too, since I only have to keep one type of cable in stock and so i can easily switch for testing/diagnostics/layout change purposes.

      I… don’t think display ports add 100 on top of the price. Do you have a source for it that its so much more expensive?

        I didnt say they did, I said they seem to, since in my experience every monitor that had similar spec, but had a display port, was about 100 dollars on top of whatever the hdmi only one had.
