To be fair thats probably easier than blindly plugging in hdmi, its like usb but so much worse

I present to you: blindly plugging a SCART in the back of our monolith of a TV... Harder than aligning an HDMI and it would shock me from time to time for some reason, while feeling around to find the socket

fortunately everything is built way lighter and cheaper and it is no longer like moving a brick chimney

USB-C has a DP-alt mode, so it can feed DisplayPort signals through that connector.

DisplayPort can speak HDMI too, so cheap passive adaptors and straight through cables are possible from DisplayPort connectors.

So a USB-C port can fling HDMI signals and theoretically a tv can have usb-c ports for everything except maybe power which would exceed spec.

I don’t know if I hate this idea or not.

Wouldn't the audio get lost with passive ones?

except maybe power which would exceed spec

According to wikipedia you can use a USB up to 240w, a TV will def not use that much power

Thought, it would probably have 2 different USBs, one for display and one for power which i am hating, i already see from 1km the people mistaking the ports and messing shit up

Make it like a laptop. Which port is for power? Whichever one you plug into the wall. And I’m still unsure I can power a 60 inch 4K tv with usb-c PD

a TV will def not use that much power

Holy hell, I never thought of that.
Our TV defines 33W "typical" and 53W max.
If it had USB-C I could run it from a power bank.

Funny thing with that is that my TV is on a wall mount that pivots so it should theoretically be easier to plug in the HDMI, but the mount part that screws into the TV is also in the way of where the ports are so plugging anything in involves shoving my hand into a narrow gap anyway lol

Though to plug the other end of it into my PC I just have to crawl under my desk :3
