Are there any TVs with DP?
It's very rare and you certainly won't find it on anything affordable. I wish they would start putting DisplayPort inputs on TVs. They had VGA inputs back when TVs had more than 2 inputs on them.
They never gone do that for obvious reason,let's look who created and who are on the list of HDMI group...Lattice Semiconductor, Maxell, Matsushita Electric Industrial, Philips, Sony, Technicolor, TOSHIBA big players of TV so they created their own proprietary standard spread it on the market and u have to pay money for licensing manufactur to install it in ur device such as TV boxes, videocards and etc.Meanwhile display port is open standard which even technically dominate HDMI about speed of transfer and other things.
They never gonna do that, voluntarily. Forcing capitalism to act in the best interests of consumers is the governments job. Capitalism without regulation is authoritarian dictatorship.
Yeah my old TV has VGA, component, composite, s video and RF inputs. I almost feel bad getting rid of it.
if it works, don't
The sad part is how using DP on your TV, if you find it, is shunned by Netflix and will not allow you to play 4K content.
They rely on some form of DRM protection which is available in HDMI.
Absolutely crazy. I really wish HDMI would not be such an omnipresent standard among TVs...

Saw some "commercial" LG TVs with them, DVI too
