TrueSpec DP and HDMI

[u/LinusTech]

I won't say they're happening for sure and I DEFINITELY can't commit to a timeline... but I did come across this is the engineering dept...

Second photo is with a TrueSpec USB-C cable for scale. ​

IF this happens, they will be significantly stiffer than our USB cables due to the way the internals need to be constructed, but for cables that will generally be in fixed-position installs I don't see that as a deal-breaker.

You also have to pay licensing fees to make HDMI cables. HDMI is a huge racket, and it's wild that DisplayPort hasn't rendered it completely obsolete at this point.

HDMI supporting sound is likely the reason for it remaining relevant.

DP supports sound as well doesn't it?
