I wish DisplayPort would become the standard already. It's superior in every way.

HDMI is the microUSB of the video world and I wish it would die already in lieu of DP and USB-C/ThunderBolt.

It's superior in every way.

Not every way, it doesn't do audio. That's really the only downside.

Why not USB C? It can carry a DP signal and (obviously) do all the USB stuff you'd ever need too.
