Exactly, even just how loud the internets are gonna be about the DP can make them, or other manufacturers, implement DP into cheaper/all models … the tech itself doesn’t cost much & the signal isn’t that different to process compared to HDMI).
It is a proprietary closed protocol with built in DRM. The HDMI Forum is not consumer friendly, charges royalties to manufacturers for the productiom of HDMI capable devices, and HDMI has no performance advantage over Display Port.
The connector is flimsy, will wear out in applications where you connect and disconnect it often and the whole standard is controlled by big tech and they abuse that power to hinder open source efforts.
Enemy of your freedom. Doesn’t even let AMD support 2.1 on Linux so Steam Deck or Steam Machine cannot support 2.1 with open source drivers! That’s why it’s officially only HDMI 2.0
HOPEFULLY this is the beginning of the end for HDMI.
$3.5K TV says it isn’t
You gotta start somewhere. If this sells, there might be another.

And ofc to the back of the TV.
What’s wrong with HDMI?
Proprietary standard that’s worse than modern DisplayPort specs. Adds cost without adding features.

Mostly licensing. Every single hdmi port manufsctured requires a fee, and the closedness just holds tech back.
