It's a shame that HDMI got patents because I don't see how HDMI is better, especially compared to Display Port 1.2 and Direct Drive. The processing should never be in the TV anyway, it should be in the source via its software and display transmitter.
Why is HDMI still used given that DP1.2 does more and everything else that HDMI can do better? Do the TV makers have something to make from it?
I've also never understood why monitors need to be different from TVs, due to all the processing that can be done by the source device and the fact that direct drive is possible.
I can't believe so many people are putting up with the sh*tty products the display makers make. We're about to see LCDs replaced with OLEDs which will be inferior to LCDs improved... it would be much easier to make LCDs good than to start something new that will have inherent issues (like blue OLEDs going bad earlier). The LCD makers are making no sincere effort because of managed trade policies, a weak dollar, and the fact that they're protected by patents which allows the old tech to be sat on and prevents new firms and new tech from coming. LG needs to make custom panels and then allow whatever else the end user wants, because they could make money off of that... I ain't replacing my PoS Apple LED Cinema Display until there is something good out there (which may never happen). Completely custom LCD monitors could be profitable especially if they didn't make so many different yet mostly total crap panels... and they don't even do the processing right plus they don't use ultra high quality power supply capacitators.
The tech industry sucks because they do compromises with everything else including but not limited to MP3s, itunes lossy crap, and lossy video on blu ray... too many people act like higher res is everything even though it looks no where near as good as lossless does. Lossy compression is a waste even if lossless compression didn't exist. However, lossless compression exists, so there is zero excuse to present something as videophile when it's lossy and looks all crappy with artifacts all over the screen.
