Yeah my old TV has VGA, component, composite, s video and RF inputs. I almost feel bad getting rid of it.
Comment on DisplayPort 2.1b Arriving This Spring With DP80LL Cables
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoIt’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.

They never gonna do that, voluntarily. Forcing capitalism to act in the best interests of consumers is the governments job. Capitalism without regulation is authoritarian dictatorship.
