Protocol level DRM?
Support on low end devices
Audio? Forgive my ignorance, It is out of actual ignorance or rather lack of knowledge
DisplayPort supports audio.
Naah, DisplayPort carries everything from audio, USB, displays, etc. Version 1.2 even allows daisy chaining displays, so you don't have to have number of cables going to your PC. When it comes to audio, version 1.4 supports 1536 kHz maximum sample rate at 24bits and supports 32 individual audio channels. Scary good! Overall it's significantly better protocol.
I'm more recent implantations of DP have audio
I guess HDMI-CEC and some DRM.
DisplayPort supports CEC and HDCP DRM.
I have yet to see a reason why HDMI is better than DP other than what port is available on your device.
Really? Seems like I am late to the party.
Yeaj, unfortunately most TVs only have HDMI, not DP
No disrespect meant towards GamingOnLinux, but this article from Tom's Hardware has a much better description of what's going on, including quotes.
