I finally learned why my TV needs HDMI while my PC needs DisplayPort

DisplayPort and HDMI are dueling video interface standards, and you've probably come across each of them on different devices. Unlike other universal communication standards like USB, display communication standards are splintered into two very common protocols. HDMI is the more common cable and port, and it's commonly found on laptops, TVs, and gaming consoles. DisplayPort, meanwhile, is more often found on PCs and high-performance gaming monitors. Have you ever wondered why this dichotomy exists?
