Thank you, I did find myself thinking theres a reason why I have the DP cables for my PC monitors which don’t seem to have an issue running high resolutions… But then I’m not running 8k on anything so I wasn’t really sure about that
Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content

HDMI is the proprietary monopoly scam. It is added to devices by the owning members if the scam. Display Port is the open source free equivalent standard that the educated consumer goes looking for.

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

I hear ya.
But for example do modern set top boxes, blue ray etc. have DP?

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
