why didn't the mini-HDMI connector ever get popular? in the PC world, smaller is better.
and yet there is a HDMI port on almost every laptop still. in the laptop world, the USB-C connector has almost taken over entirely...so not the end of the world.Probably because HDMI was more consumer TV focused than it was PC. I can recall having at least one vid card which had a mini HDMI, but don't believe I ever had a mini HDMI monitor which meant an extra adapter required for the vid card to connect to anything.
yeh...but almost every laptop has an HDMI port on it. most also have a USB-C with DP alt mode, but it tends to also be the port required to charge.Display port is better anyways
yes! I want to buy a modern AMD Ryzen MiniPC where the backside has 4x USB-C with DP alt mode, 2x USB 3.2 4x6 whatevers and an Intel multi-gig wired NIC. of course, WiFi 7E and Bluetooth 5.infinity.100% agree though usb-c should eliminate all others. I have mentioned it here before that it makes more sense for a GPU to have 4 usb-c ports than anything else.
