Welcome to the world my guy. Little old me can’t change it, but I can express my desire for it. You will see a lot of people doing the exact same thing across many many topics, luckily the port on the back of a TV is hardly an important issue for me to take the time to campaign further.
Calm down bud. I had no issue with the initial post, but the comment I replied to sounds like you’re trying to actually elicit change. My response was meant to make it clear that the general audience here agrees and you need to focus your efforts elsewhere.
Unfortunately most get royalties from HDMI, so won’t endorse an alternative.

It’s called preaching to the choir. We are not your target audience.
You are on a content aggregation site where people post opinions and discuss random crap, what are you expecting to see here???

I thought they have to license the usage of HDMI so pay royalties to the HDMI foundation …
Who do you think setup and owns the HDMI foundation?
Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Philips etc…
So? I dont follow, how does that change things?
Youve lost me, why would the TV manufacturers who get royalties from licensing HDMI want to offer a free alternative?
The TV manufacturers own the HDMI foundation.
Other devices being “forced” to implement HDMI ports, because every TV has them, might benefit those TV manufacturers.
Not sure how exactly that would work, I assume it gives them some level of control/power.
OK thanks for the explanation, I’m still a bit lost, but oh well ^^
If they’re profiting more than they’re paying for maintaining this standard as the default then they don’t want it to change
How much royalties do they get per sold item? I’m happy to pay the difference.
i thought it was for Digital Rights Management so that you can’t record copyright stuff in pure quality?
I don’t think so. As far as I can tell, HDMI uses the same HDCP as DVI and DisplayPort, so there shouldn’t be any difference when it comes to DRM.
I’m not sure the exact prices, probably varies with volume of products sold.
So top comment means nothing
