The only thing I've not been able to divest myself from Sony is HDMI. If I could buy a TV with a decent amount of DisplayPort and no HDMI, I'd be so happy. My level of distrust goes back to their rootkit on music CD scandal.

Seriously, fuck HDMI. I just recently learned they've blocked AMD's open source driver from being able to implement HDMI 2.1 meaning AMD GPUs are currently limited to 4K@60Hz over HDMI on Linux.

I don't get how HDMI got so popular. DP had much better features earlier on. And no licensing fees.

Iirc the main reason for HDMI was its copy protection and Sony BluRay players only having HDMI. I could be wrong though.

Because HDMI predates DP. HDMI was initially just DVI-D with audio and encryption. That last part is what got the content producers to push the standard because piracy.

DisplayPort still has much better features :)

Yeah, that was the end of major-publisher CDs for me. I’ve been very happy with only indie music for a very long time.
