Are there any TVs with DP?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It'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.

Yeah my old TV has VGA, component, composite, s video and RF inputs. I almost feel bad getting rid of it.

if it works, don't

The sad part is how using DP on your TV, if you find it, is shunned by Netflix and will not allow you to play 4K content.

They rely on some form of DRM protection which is available in HDMI.

Absolutely crazy. I really wish HDMI would not be such an omnipresent standard among TVs...
