Over the years, we’ve seen a good number of interfaces used for computer monitors, TVs, LCD panels and other all-things-display purposes. We’ve lived through VGA and the large variety of analog interfaces that preceded it, then DVI, HDMI, and at some point, we’ve started getting devices with DisplayPort support. So you might think it’s more of the same. However, I’d like to tell you that you probably should pay more attention to DisplayPort – it’s an interface powerful in a way that we haven’t seen before.

What ever DisplayPort do, HDMI do more badly. HDMI also requires Annual Fee to get document now (since 2021, before that the document was public available). And this is not the worst thing, the worst thing is the HDMI forum disallow anyone open source a driver which support HDMI 2.1 or higher.
