USB-C has a DP-alt mode, so it can feed DisplayPort signals through that connector.

DisplayPort can speak HDMI too, so cheap passive adaptors and straight through cables are possible from DisplayPort connectors.

So a USB-C port can fling HDMI signals and theoretically a tv can have usb-c ports for everything except maybe power which would exceed spec.

I don’t know if I hate this idea or not.

    Wouldn't the audio get lost with passive ones?

    except maybe power which would exceed spec

    According to wikipedia you can use a USB up to 240w, a TV will def not use that much power

    Thought, it would probably have 2 different USBs, one for display and one for power which i am hating, i already see from 1km the people mistaking the ports and messing shit up
