I remember when a reporter did a review of the Tesla back when they first started to get popular. They gave the reporter a loaner car to test and review it. Ended up giving it a bad review.

From the transcript and ai generated summary from Claude:
Here is a summary of the key points from the Linus Tech Tips YouTube video on why DisplayPort is better than HDMI:
-
DisplayPort has an embedded mode (EDP) used in laptops and tablets to drive internal displays in a simpler, thinner way vs HDMI.
-
DisplayPort has a USB-C alt mode to deliver signals over USB-C ports, enabling charging and video over one cable. HDMI’s alt mode was discontinued.
-
DisplayPort is royalty-free while HDMI charges device makers a per-unit royalty fee.
-
DisplayPort supports multi-stream transport for daisy chaining multiple monitors from one output.
-
DisplayPort can easily convert to HDMI signals via passive adapters, but not the reverse.
-
DisplayPort cables often have latches to lock them in place, preventing accidental disconnections.
-
Key advantages of DisplayPort are higher bandwidth, more flexibility, lower costs, and convenience features over HDMI. But HDMI remains widely used due to broader consumer electronics adoption.
In summary, the video makes the case that DisplayPort is technically superior to HDMI in several ways, though market dominance of HDMI persists. Both serve an important role in connectivity.
