Strictly speaking for vidya 4k doesn't need an i7 anymore than it needs an i5 as cpu usage doesn't scale with resolution.

For other workloads? Well yeah an i7 is the better chip because such workloads scale with cpu resoruces (resolution has nothing to do with it).

HDMI's main advantage was cable length. That is how it came to dominate consumer electronics.

Also things like MHL (running a 1080p output and 7.1 audio from a smarthpone microUSB) are exclusive to HDMI. Again lower end consumer electronics drive this industry.

With that said HDMI 2.0 is fine for 4k @ 60hz 4:4:4 and that is good enough (for now).

Also HDMI can be run over cat 5.

At our university and other places that run a ton of video cables the electricians simply pull cat 5 (or use existing Ethernet cables) and you can get HD virtually anywhere.

Even in my home this is how I get my satellite HDTV to every room of the house. I had roughed in a fuckload of cat 5 back in the day and I used some of those for HDTV. It is very inexpensive to do it this way, in terms of both labor and cable cost.

While SCART was dreadful in itself, it often did mean you got real RGB connectors in there: that's the best analogue connection you'll find. Unfortunately horizontal and vertical sync are interleaved, but that's nothing an LM1881 can't sort out. Best thing for connecting an RGB CRT to a console you'll find, I've got an Atari SC1435 somewhere here retrofitted with one.

I'm pretty sure if you've done something that would break pins on a DVI plug or any other cable, it would break a VGA as well.

If anything, it would be more likely to break a VGA cable because the extra pins on the DVI provide more strength - it's harder to bend 3 pins at once than 1 pin.

DP

lower latency, highest bandwidth available

the connector sucks tho
>>
DP > HDMI > DVI > VGA
>>
>>51978919
Display port is the superior plug no doubt if you're just looking at capability. VGA is superior in the business word for cheapness and legacy. There is no other correct answer.
>>
>>51979278
He's right, DP ports are shit

The electronics on either end of the cables are amazing but the ports and cables themselves are physically shit, I've broken a ton of connectors on DP, never broken an HDMI connector.
>>
>>51989634
DVI can push 1080p/144 though
>>
>>51978919
DVI-D

Anything else is pointless, unless you have 4k.

VGA has awful quality, cables go bad. HDMI is encrypted(HDCP) and has to be encoded\decoded, I've always had issues with this on a PC with it causing weird issues. DP I have no fucking clue. I still haven't even seen a monitor with a DP.
>>
>>51978919
HDMI has the best connector. No stupid latching mechanism that's prone to malfunctioning. No incredibly irritating thumbscrews that lock into the device they're plugged into and need to be reinserted or broken.

The latest HDMI and DP are obviously superior to DVI and VGA for their bandwidth capabilities, DP being #1. No easily bent pins either. HDMI has the advantage of being much more prevalent than DP though, with DP really only showing up on high-end monitors.

DP, can be converted to the rest and has the best bandwidth.
>>
>>51992604
I didn't even know DP existed until a few months ago, What even uses it atm, high end monitors and GPUs?

Pretty much everything can use DVI, or hdmi for audio and 4k. Why is DP needed?
>>
>>51992663
Ultra-high bandwidth.
HDMI was only able to reach 40@60Hz relatively recently. DP can already do 8K@60Hz. Also, technologies like G-Sync and Freesync only work over DP.
DisplayPort is a royalty-free standard, while HDMI is not.

Licensing. As manufacturer you have to pay a lot more in the way of royalties to use HDMI.

DisplayPort because muh 144 hz
>>
>>51992663
4k @ 60hz only works with hdmi 2.0, which isn't supported by a lot of devices
DP 1.2 is much more widespread
>>
When will laptops with HDMI 2.0 output become common place?

There is only a few models on the market today.
>>
>>51999686

The future of video output is through USB C ports. It's mostly a question of which alternate mode for USB C they're going to implement, MHL or DisplayPort.

DisplayPort alt mode was finished first and is already in real USB C laptops (both of them), but MHL has the same gang of TV makers as HDMI behind it, so signs are still unclear.

It will replace VGA and DVI.

HDMI is an A/V interface that have replaced the old S-video, component ports.

When will we get none hackjobs 5k monitors?

Hackjob example:
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=up275k3

5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz (Dual DP cable required)
>>
>>52000026

USB is shit-tier for video output (CPU intensive, limited bandwidth, shitty cabling)

DP is the future of computer video interface. The problem is that display manufacturers are dragging their feet by offering DP only on high-end monitors.

That will quickly change once 4K becomes mainstream since HDMI 1.0-1.4/VGA/DVI cannot do 4K.

HDMI 2.0 will remain as an A/V interface.

VGA has zero delay

this is unobjectable

anyone who has multiple monitors, set one to VGA, 1 to HDMI, 1 to DVI and boot your computer

see which monitor wakes up first

hell, if you still have a DVR from your tv company, plug in the component cables, then plug in the HDMI, you can have both at the same time, change channels with the HDMI feed, then switch to the component and change channels

these are facts

the SLIGHT increase in clarity/sharpness that digital feeds give you dont outwight all the cons

>any issue in a connect results in a completely black screen
>any type of degradation results in aliasing rather than bluryness
>>
>>52002237
>What does HDMI do that DP doesn't already do

DP is a more technically robust system, but you have to remember that HDMI hit the market years earlier (2003 vs. 2008).

Even though it derives heavily and directly from DVI-D, HDMI added a substantial amount of stuff to it.

>>52002327

matter fact anyone who's had digital cable tv knows that any time theres an issue ,you get those annoying as fuck black horizontal tearing and freezing

meanwhile if those same issues of a wire thats exposed or has degradation would result in some noise on screen, the FPS is never affected

Everything just needs to change to displayport. HDMI a shit.

DVI does all of the above. High bandwidth, VGA retrocompatible... HDMI just has got audio as an extra, but for monitors, >DVI.

Definitely HDMI, although AFAIK DVI is just as good of quality, but doesn't transport audio as well. HDMI is my favorite because it transports audio and video at the same time in HD quality...probably why it's so popular

hdmi took DVI video, and added audio and other junk to it, making it sutiable for both uses, it's intended as a replacement for both
