The HDMI Forum has rejected our proposal unfortunately. At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.

I just hate how my monitor came with a HDMI cable

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Regardless of the cable that came attached, check the monitor to see if it supports a Display port -- It most likely does. Your monitor likely came with an HDMI cable for sake of cost reduction (I guess better than no cable at all). If the monitor doesn't support Display port, it means that manufacturer didn't build or manufacture that monitor to be a true computer monitor class product.

I know it's probably for cost cutting. But the monitor does indeed have a DP input option. Maybe the HDMI is included because it has inbuilt speakers and as far as I know those aren't usable thrpugh DP and I don't know if it has a separate audio input.
