Welcome to the world my guy. Little old me can't change it, but I can express my desire for it. You will see a lot of people doing the exact same thing across many many topics, luckily the port on the back of a TV is hardly an important issue for me to take the time to campaign further.

Unfortunately most get royalties from HDMI, so won't endorse an alternative.

I thought they have to license the usage of HDMI so pay royalties to the HDMI foundation …

Who do you think setup and owns the HDMI foundation?

So? I dont follow, how does that change things?

How much royalties do they get per sold item? I’m happy to pay the difference.

i thought it was for Digital Rights Management so that you can’t record copyright stuff in pure quality?
SuperIce@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I don’t think so. As far as I can tell, HDMI uses the same HDCP as DVI and DisplayPort, so there shouldn’t be any difference when it comes to DRM.

I'm not sure the exact prices, probably varies with volume of products sold.
