  HDMI only won on TVs. DisplayPort is the clear winner on PCs.

    Are there any TVs with DP?

      It’s very rare and you certainly won’t find it on anything affordable. I wish they would start putting DisplayPort inputs on TVs. They had VGA inputs back when TVs had more than 2 inputs on them.

        They never gone do that for obvious reason,let’s look who created and who are on the list of HDMI group…Lattice Semiconductor, Maxell, Matsushita Electric Industrial, Philips, Sony, Technicolor, TOSHIBA big players of TV so they created their own proprietary standard spread it on the market and u have to pay money for licensing manufactur to install it in ur device such as TV boxes, videocards and etc.Meanwhile display port is open standard which even technically dominate HDMI about speed of transfer and other things.

        Yeah my old TV has VGA, component, composite, s video and RF inputs. I almost feel bad getting rid of it.

      The sad part is how using DP on your TV, if you find it, is shunned by Netflix and will not allow you to play 4K content.

      They rely on some form of DRM protection which is available in HDMI.

      Absolutely crazy. I really wish HDMI would not be such an omnipresent standard among TVs…

    I wonder what the situation is with laptops. HDMI seems to be the standard and DP an additional thing that’s around sometimes, often through another port.

    Do projectors commonly have DP or are they more often HDMI? I think TVs, screens and projectors having HDMI is the reason laptops have HDMI over DP.

    Every device that has a DisplayPort also has hdmi. Not every device that has hdmi also has a DisplayPort.

    DisplayPort did not win even though I agree it’s better.

      Yes HDMI is more popular but it has some adoption on Gaming Pcs

  Any displayport source can (per standard) deliver HDMI, you just need a dp->hdmi adapter or cable.

  The other way around is harder to achieve but works, too (needs an active adapter to convert the signal).
