DVI is the Gen X of video connectors
Where do my boys Component and S-Video end up?
in my box of cables, for one!
With all the rest of the A/V cables, not the computer ones
I remember finding 10 foot combo Toslink S-video cables at Radio Shack for like $5. I bought 3 of them and ripped the S-Video off because the Toslink cable was all I was after. I still think it’s better than most other cables for audio.
HDMI ARC is technically better now
Yeah, ARC is pretty convenient, I use it as well.
My monitors only have DVI and VGA inputs. I’ve had to get adapters to use them with more modern equipment.
I’ve got no reason to replace them. They’re perfectly fine monitors. I’ve had them for over a decade, and I still like them a lot.
The year is 2045. My grandson runs up to me with a handful of black cords
“Poppy, you know computers, right? I need to connect my Jongo 64k display, but it has CFONG-K6 port, and my Pimble box only has a Holoweave port, have you got an adapter?”
Sadly I sift through the strange cords without a shred of recognition. Truly my time on this mortal coil is coming to a wrap
Don’t worry, maybe they misjudged the size of the asteroid and 2032 is it.
Cool, I won’t have to update my date formats.
Honestly, that’d be kinda sick. Imagine seeing the wall of fire, coming to cleanse the Earth once again. Hopefully the next ones to inherit it don’t fuck it up as bad as we did.
It already happened to them multiple times that’s why we are on HDMI 2.2 which can go up to:
7680 × 4320 @ 60FPS
HDMI 1.0 could only reach:
1920 x 1080 @ 60FPS
The only reason it still works is because they keep changing the specifications.
And I think I can confidently say we will never need more than 8K since we are reaching the physical limits of the human eye or at the very least it will never be considered low resolution.
Maybe, but I could see thunderbolt replacing HDMI and display port over time. It can carry video, audio, data, and power simultaneously, and has more bandwidth for additional information like HDR or 3D.
USB can do that as well, using Displayport alt mode. And it doesn’t need Intel’s fees.
Also, 3D. LOL
Same cable, same port, I don’t really care what it’s called if the capabilities are the same.
3D is important for stuff like VR, there’s a reason it’s the predominant cable for headsets.
It’s REALLY important for adoption. An open standard is far more likely to be used.
VGA should have released VGA2.1 that is what all the cool display cables do
nobody noticed dark side of the moon cover on the background
Kinda already happening with usbc
I still use VGA
