    Never said DP wasn’t a better standard. Or that HDMI was better because of being ubiquitous.

    It’s certainly not keyed better than HDMI, that’s just ridiculous. If you ever had a laptop with Display Port, or see people interact with one, you would notice that it’s too similar to USB, e-sata (which has become mostly irrelevant, if not even fully), and HDMI.

    On top of that it’s difficult to feel if it’s the wrong way round. Easy to see, difficult to feel.

    DisplayPort is in practice not available as a non-locking connector, but keying and the locking connector makes it worse.

    While, sure, someone makes money off of HDMI, it’s not an argument for popularity.

    I never agreed with the facts of your comment, but I think you are using poor arguments to make an invalid point.

    I’m not arguing for HDMI either, btw. I’m just attempting to predict the future.
