Just had an oh-shit! moment at the library.

Depending on how things go, if the USB Implementers Forum can:

• get the naming debacle figured out to where it's useful to people without sounding like gibberish.
• develop USB-C to be more powerful than HDMI & DisplayPort.
• lower licensing fees.

then USB-C could potentially overtake HDMI and DisplayPort in the graphics display cable market.

The reason I'm saying this is cause:

• USB-C just_works.™️ for external/multi-monitor displays (it even works on my current dogshit NixOS laptop).
• some manufacturers have already previously experimented/and sold graphics cards (GPUs) with USB-C as a display option.

As manufacturers already have to pay for HDMI/DisplayPort licensing fees, now it's just a matter of who can provide the most with the least overhead costs.

While it's not guranteed that USB-C is the true end solution, it does provide manufacturers with another option, which technically should lower costs for them to manufacture GPUs.
