No money to patent trolls! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) From a signaling perspective, they're very very similar. Given that all TVs have HDMI, it may be the only option. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uis@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) DVI?

No, it is packet-based. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago The only real benefit to HDMI over DVI is that it carries audio where DVI does not, which is why it's used on so many TVs. I know DP can do audio too; so I'm not even going to touch on that. DVI however, can do dual-link, which IMO, makes it a much better video format regardless of any patent nonsense. permalink fedilink source parent
