The primary design goal of VGA was to display video. The primary design goal of HDMI was to prevent the display of video.

displayport is the modern successor to vga.

I wish DisplayPort would become the standard already. It’s superior in every way.

HDMI is the microUSB of the video world and I wish it would die already in lieu of DP and USB-C/ThunderBolt.

It’s superior in every way.

Not every way, it doesn’t do audio. That’s really the only downside.
