the GPMI cable comes in two flavors — a Type-B that seems to have a proprietary connector and a Type-C that is compatible with the USB-C standard
I actually copied this from the article to come here to the comments and have a whinge about all the different USB-C standards, and here you are explaining the reason why.
I think you could have a second connector in addition to a main USBC.
Honestly we need higher capacity for screen cables for PC. Both HDMI and display port are limiting performance because of their low, 40-80gbps, bandwidth. Their performance maxes out at 4k120hz with uncompressed HDR color. You can’t use 8k screens or multiple 4k screens without lowering quality.
Graphics cards only come with one HDMI port though. The LG OLED is popular for 4k screens because it ticks all the boxes and is much cheaper than equivalent gaming monitors, but that means it doesn’t support dp.
And it means that you have to upgrade the graphics card just for the cable even if it is still relatively new. The point is that we shouldn’t be held back by just a cable .
If it’s not usb-c it’s banned in EU. Because we stopped there and we won’t go forward.
Actually? I don’t know much about that legislation. Does it really not have room built-in for tech improvements?
It does! If there’s a good alternative it can be proposed, or that’s what I read here on Lemmy

Don’t get so excited. Read my comment again.

Where I work, everyone has 2 4k screens. You can use two cables to connect them, you know…
And every one of them has either put their scaling up to 150% or simply set them to 2k, because you cannot read a damn thing on them.
More than 4k is a theoretical need for a veeeery small market

Please don’t make stuff up.
Other stuff isn’t banned and the law already has allowances for emerging standards.
