minus-squarefonix232@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 days agoWhile DP ports can output HDMI signal, HDMI ports can’t receive DP signal. Meaning you would buy an adapter that is active, which means it needs to pay HDMI royalties. Basically, you’d be paying double to the HDMI Forum, to get around their shittiness. That’s kinda… Counterproductive. Don’t you think?
